✏️ Review Form Text Customisation #
Misc Settings is a lightweight customisation page for the review form’s UI text. All eight fields control the visible labels, button text, and input placeholder copy that appears in the review submission and reply forms on your site’s frontend. Every field is optional. Leave any field empty to keep the plugin’s built-in default text. There is no wrong answer here — these are cosmetic settings only and have no effect on schema markup output or SEO.
ℹ️ Prerequisite — Enable Review must be ON
These settings only affect the frontend review form. The form is only visible and functional when Enable Review is turned ON in Settings › General (Step 1).
All Fields at a Glance #
All fields are optional — leave blank to use the built-in default text. Fill in only the fields where you want to override the default wording.
| Field | Default (built-in) | Customise when… | Example custom text |
|---|---|---|---|
| Reply title | “Reply” | Your site language is not English, or you want a different heading label for reply forms. | “Répondre” / “Antwort” / “Write a Reply” |
| Cancel Reply Link Text | “Cancel reply” | Your brand tone uses different phrasing, or you are translating the form for a non-English audience. | “Go back” / “Annuler” / “Abbrechen” |
| Submit Button Label | “Submit” | You want a more action-oriented label, or the form is in another language. | “Post Review” / “Send Feedback” / “Soumettre” |
| Name field placeholder | “Name” | Your form requires a full name, display name, or you are localising the form. | “Your full name” / “Display name” / “Nom” |
| Title field placeholder | “Title” | You want to guide reviewers on what to write in the title, or you are localising. | “Summarise your review” / “Titre de l’avis” |
| Email field placeholder | “Email” | You want to clarify the email format expected, or you are localising. | “your@email.com” / “E-Mail-Adresse” |
| Website field placeholder | “Website” | You want to guide reviewers, discourage spam links, or localise. | “https://yoursite.com” / “Optional website URL” |
| Comment field placeholder | “Comment” | You want more descriptive guidance in the review body field, or you are localising. | “Share your experience…” / “Describe the product…” |
Field Details #
| Reply title Appears on: The heading label at the top of the reply form, shown when a user clicks “Reply” on an existing review. Built-in default: “Reply” When to customise: Translate for non-English sites, or match your site’s tone (e.g. more formal or conversational). Example: “Write a Reply” · “Répondre” · “Antwort schreiben” |
| Cancel Reply Link Text Appears on: The clickable link text that cancels the reply action and closes the reply form. Built-in default: “Cancel reply” When to customise: Localise for non-English sites, or use shorter/cleaner phrasing that fits your design. Example: “Go back” · “Cancel” · “Annuler” · “Abbrechen” |
| Submit Button Label Appears on: The label on the primary submit button of the review submission form. Built-in default: “Submit” When to customise: Use a more descriptive CTA, match your brand voice, or translate. Example: “Post Review” · “Send Feedback” · “Soumettre mon avis” · “Bewertung absenden” |
| Name field placeholder Appears on: The greyed-out placeholder text inside the Name input field on the review form. Built-in default: “Name” When to customise: Clarify whether you want a full name, username, or display name. Helpful for localisation. Example: “Your full name” · “Display name” · “Nom complet” · “Vollständiger Name” |
| Title field placeholder Appears on: The greyed-out placeholder text inside the review Title input field. Built-in default: “Title” When to customise: Guide reviewers on what a good title looks like, or localise. Example: “Summarise your review in one line” · “Titre de l’avis” · “Rezenstionstitel” |
| Email field placeholder Appears on: The greyed-out placeholder text inside the Email input field on the review form. Built-in default: “Email” When to customise: Show the expected email format, add a privacy note inline, or localise. Example: “your@email.com” · “E-mail (not published)” · “Adresse e-mail” |
| Website field placeholder Appears on: The greyed-out placeholder text inside the optional Website URL input field. Built-in default: “Website” When to customise: Clarify the expected URL format, discourage spam links, or localise. Example: “https://yourwebsite.com” · “Optional: your site URL” · “Site web (optionnel)” |
| Comment field placeholder Appears on: The greyed-out placeholder text inside the main review body / comment textarea. Built-in default: “Comment” When to customise: Provide writing guidance to reviewers, set expectations for review length, or localise. Example: “Share your experience with this product…” · “Describe what you liked or disliked…” · “Votre commentaire” |
| 🌐 Using Misc Settings for multilingual sites If your site serves visitors in multiple languages and you use a translation plugin (such as WPML, Polylang, or TranslatePress), you can set the Misc Settings fields to the primary language of your site here. For secondary languages, use your translation plugin’s string translation feature to override these values per language — SchemaEngine AI’s text strings are translation-ready. |
| 💡 All fields fall back to defaults when empty You do not need to fill in every field. SchemaEngine AI uses sensible built-in defaults for all eight fields. Only customise the ones where the default wording does not fit your site’s language, tone, or branding. Saving with empty fields will not break anything — the plugin silently uses its defaults. |
