Version 2.4.0 of WooCommerce Blocks feature plugin is now available. This release includes new blocks to display product reviews, a product search block, as well as some fixes.
Reviews by Product
Display reviews of a specific product to build trust and fine-tune the content that you want to show.
Reviews by Category
Do you want to display reviews from specific categories instead of a single product? We’ve got you covered with the Reviews by Category block.
All Reviews
Show a list of all product reviews in a landing page, blog post or any other page in your site.
Product Search
Help shoppers find your products by placing a search box in some specific locations.
