Reviews settings - Plugixa Recipe

The Reviews tab controls moderation, what a reviewer must supply, images, engagement features and spam protection.

Go to Recipes → Settings → Reviews.

The Reviews settings tab, with a Moderation section holding Require approval before publishing and Allow guest reviews, a Required Fields section with Require star rating, an Images section with Allow image uploads in reviews and Max Images Per Review set to 3, an Engagement section with Enable helpful votes and Enable admin replies, a Display section with Reviews Per Page set to 10 and Default Sort set to Newest First, and a Spam Protection section with a captcha toggle

The capture above predates the move from reCAPTCHA to Cloudflare Turnstile and still shows the old label. The setting is now turnstile_reviews_enabled and the keys live on the Captcha tab.
