WooCommerce products have reviews, but missing “review” rich snippet

Approaching a fortnight now and what would appear to be a bug introduced with 1.0.48 is still not fixed.

I carefully read the release notes with 1.0.49 and was disappointed not to read of a fix for this bug, so I am not surprised it doesn’t help.

I’m left wondering what testing in the WooCommerce product environment was done before the release of 1.0.48 that this bug has materialized for so many of us? And I’m sure many more who haven’t joined this thread are impacted too.

i see the even the diligent polite @.CDR who first raised this issue is now sounding exasperated.

It’s all very well being ‘here to assist’ and ‘looking forward to helping’. Makes it sound like it’s our problem, something wanting with our sites, when in fact, on all the evidence it looks to me that RM have introduced a bug.

if I’m wrong, I apologize in advance, but as things are I’m exasperated.

Regards,
Barry

Hi Uzair and RM in general,

Why would one apply a fix for a problem that’s not what people in this thread are wanting addressed?

Speaking personally, I don’t have time to go on wild goose chases.

What I and I imagine others on this thread want is a recognition that a bug was introduced with 1.0.48 that caused the ‘review’ property to go missing from the schema when it had been there previously for long established products. Following that recognition, a fix for the issue.

Kind regards,
Barry

Hi Ozan,

Thank you for the suggestion. I have tried it and it works partially. The Google Rich Results Test is now happy, but only the first review of a product is included. So where a product has n > 1 reviews, only the first is in the rich result.

PHP is not my first language, so how to get the array back? I’ll research, but others may be quicker.
