About Google Places Reviews Pro WordPress Plugin 2.3.1

Google Places Reviews Pro is a WordPress plugin for showing Google reviews of a business on your own site. Reviews of a place come from Google, and the plugin displays them so visitors see real feedback. It was originally sold on CodeCanyon, and in the store it is filed under business service.

The listing gives no feature list. Plugins like this usually need a Google API key and a Place ID, so check the documentation in the package. The file on record is version 2.3.1 from September 2019, and Google's API rules have changed since, so test it on staging.

Requirements

A Google API key and Place ID (check the plugin documentation)

Key features

Google reviews on your site: Displays reviews for a business from Google Places.
WordPress plugin: Installs like any plugin, without changing your theme.
Business use: Filed under business service for local companies.
Details are in the package: The listing doesn't state layouts, shortcodes or widgets, so check the documentation.

Is it right for you?

A good fit for

Local businesses that want Google reviews shown as social proof
Agencies building sites for restaurants, clinics and shops

Look elsewhere if

Sites that don't have a Google Business listing with reviews
Anyone who needs the plugin tested against Google's current API, since the file dates from 2019

How to install Google Places Reviews Pro WordPress Plugin 2.3.1

1
Download the file
Open My Account → Downloads and download the product. If the archive contains several zips (documentation, child theme, licensing files), you need the one named after the product.
2
Upload it to WordPress
In your dashboard go to Plugins → Add New Plugin → Upload Plugin and choose the zip.
3
Install and activate
Click Install Now, then Activate. If an older or free copy is already installed, WordPress offers to replace it with the uploaded version.

Notes for this product

Google's Places API needs a project with an API key and, today, billing enabled. Read the package documentation for how this plugin asks for it.

Setup: using Google Places Reviews Pro WordPress Plugin 2.3.1

Install on staging. Activate the plugin on a copy of your site first.
Add the Google details. Enter the API key and Place ID in the plugin's settings.
Display the reviews. Add the plugin's block, widget or shortcode to a page, following its documentation.
Check the output. Compare the reviews on the page with the ones on Google.

Common problems and fixes

No reviews appear, or an API error shows

Why it happens: The API key is wrong, restricted, or missing billing, or the old plugin doesn't match Google's current API.
How to fix it: Check the key, enabled Google APIs and restrictions, and test the plugin on staging.

“The link you followed has expired.” when uploading

Why it happens: The zip is larger than your server's PHP upload limit (upload_max_filesize / post_max_size).
How to fix it: Raise the upload limit in your hosting control panel, or unzip the file and upload the folder to wp-content/plugins with your host's file manager or SFTP.

“The package could not be installed. No valid plugins were found.”

Why it happens: The uploaded zip is a bundle (or a theme), not the plugin itself.
How to fix it: Unzip the download once and upload the inner zip named after the plugin.

“Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.”

Why it happens: Usually a PHP version older than the plugin needs, or a second copy of the same plugin (for example the free version) still active.
How to fix it: Check your PHP version under Tools → Site Health → Info, deactivate any other copy of the plugin, and enable WP_DEBUG_LOG to see the exact error.

Licence or “updates unavailable” notices

Why it happens: The developer's licence key isn't included. Features that call the developer's servers (template libraries, cloud APIs, automatic updates) need it.
How to fix it: Everything that runs locally works without it. For a newer file, use Request an update from your account.
