how a star rating anywhere, in seconds. Drop the Simple Star Rating Block into any post, page, or custom post type, set a value from 0 to 5 (half and decimal values render as partial stars), and style it to match your site. Ideal for product reviews, recipe ratings, testimonials, and comparison posts.
Ratings can be typed in manually or pulled dynamically from a custom field — including ACF fields — so a rating stored on the post updates the block automatically. Inside a Query Loop, the block always shows the rating of the correct post.

The challenge
Most rating plugins ship a whole review system when all many sites need is a clean, accessible star display inside the editor — with fractional values and colours that respect the theme.
The approach
Native block, native feel
Built with the official block APIs so ratings are configured directly in the editor with live preview.
Fractional and accessible
Half and partial star values render precisely, with proper labels so ratings read correctly to screen readers.
Zero bloat
No settings screens, no database tables — just a block that loads a few kilobytes of CSS only where it is used.
