Auto Figure Jin 1.0.0 is now officially available for WordPress.
This first public release introduces a registered-user company review system built around reviewer ownership, transparent business replies, repeated spam validation and accessible review content.
Most review tools focus only on collecting stars and comments. Auto Figure Jin takes a different approach: it defines what the reviewer can control, what the website administrator cannot change through the plugin, how suspicious feedback is corrected, and what happens when an honest review is later edited into spam.
Version 1.0.0 is the foundation of that trust model. It is free, open source and available from the official WordPress Plugin Directory. The complete source code is also published on GitHub for developers and website owners who want to inspect how the plugin works.

What is Auto Figure Jin?
Auto Figure Jin is a WordPress plugin for collecting and displaying company feedback from registered users. It is designed for first-party reviews published directly on a business website rather than imported from an external review platform.
A logged-in user selects a rating, writes an optional title and describes their experience. A clean submission is published with the reviewer’s public WordPress display name, selected rating, review text and publication date. The same review remains attached to that user’s account.
The plugin does not treat feedback as disposable content that an administrator can silently rewrite. Published honest feedback is controlled by its registered author. The business can respond, but its response remains separate and clearly labelled.
Why version 1.0.0 matters
The first release establishes the rules that every future Auto Figure Jin feature must respect. These rules are more important than a long list of visual options because they determine whether customers and website visitors can trust the review process.
- Each registered user can submit only one company review across the entire website.
- The reviewer can update that single review later.
- Every later update is treated as a fresh validation event.
- Administrators cannot rewrite, re-rate, hide, return or delete honest published feedback through the plugin.
- The business can add a separately stored and labelled official reply.
- Suspicious submissions are held outside the public review list.
- A review that becomes suspicious after publication is immediately removed from public display.
- The registered author must correct and resubmit held feedback before it can return publicly.
One company review per registered user
Auto Figure Jin 1.0.0 applies its one-review rule across the whole WordPress installation. A user cannot post one company review on a page, another on a product and another on a blog post. After the account has submitted feedback, ordinary Auto Figure Jin placements no longer present another submission form to that user.
This site-wide rule reduces duplicate submissions and prevents the same account from artificially increasing the number of reviews. It also makes the review easier for the customer to manage: the account owns one continuing record of its experience with the company.
Public visitors can continue reading the review list. The restriction applies to additional submissions from an account that has already reviewed the company.
Reviewer ownership after publication
A customer’s opinion can change. A business may resolve a complaint, improve its service or create a new problem later. For that reason, Auto Figure Jin allows the registered author to update their own feedback after publication.
The author can edit the review from their WordPress profile or from a logged-in account page containing the [autofigjin_my_review] shortcode. An update changes the same review; it does not create a duplicate entry.
The author can update the rating, optional title and written feedback. That freedom is paired with an important safeguard: the edited version must pass validation again before it can remain public.
Clear administrator boundaries
Inside Auto Figure Jin, honest published feedback does not receive administrator controls for rewriting, deleting, hiding, returning or changing its rating. A one-star review receives the same plugin-level protection as a five-star review.
This boundary helps visitors distinguish the reviewer’s statement from the company’s response. Administrators can publish an official reply, but they cannot merge that reply into the customer’s text or use it to replace the customer-selected star rating.
As with every self-hosted WordPress plugin, the database and server owner retains ultimate technical control outside the plugin. Auto Figure Jin defines and enforces its rules within its own interfaces and workflows; no plugin can prevent a hosting administrator from directly changing a database.
Spam revalidation after every edit
Validating only the first submission would leave an obvious abuse path. A user could publish a clean review, wait for approval and later replace it with promotional links, contact information or abusive text. Auto Figure Jin 1.0.0 closes that path by rechecking every author update.
- URLs and domain-like promotional links are checked.
- Email addresses are checked.
- Phone-like contact information is checked.
- Blocked abusive language is checked.
- Configured minimum and maximum review lengths are checked.
- The authenticated account and one-review rule are checked.
If a published review fails validation after an edit, the changed review is immediately removed from the public list. It moves into the spam-correction queue and stays non-public until its registered author corrects and resubmits it.
The complete correction workflow
- A registered user submits a new review or updates an existing one.
- Auto Figure Jin validates the user, rating, text length and spam signals.
- A clean review is displayed publicly.
- A suspicious submission is held outside the public review table.
- If an existing public review becomes suspicious after an edit, it is removed from public display.
- The administrator can inspect the hold reason and add a private correction note.
- The administrator may correct suspicious title or text, but cannot change the reviewer-selected rating or publish for the user.
- The registered author opens My Review, corrects the held feedback and resubmits it.
- The corrected version passes through validation again.
- Only a clean author-resubmitted version returns to the public review list.
Separate official business replies
Businesses need a fair way to provide context, acknowledge a customer’s concern or explain how a problem was resolved. Auto Figure Jin provides an Official Reply field for this purpose.
The reply is stored separately and displayed under a clear label. It does not change the original rating, title or review text. This creates a visible conversation while preserving the identity of each statement.
Placement options and duplicate protection
Auto Figure Jin can automatically append the review section to selected public post types, or the website owner can place individual components manually with shortcodes. This allows a dedicated company-review page, a review section beneath selected content, or separate form and list layouts.
Version 1.0.0 includes shared duplicate-output protection. If manual Auto Figure Jin content is present, manual placement takes priority and automatic placement is skipped. If a page builder, widget or editor includes multiple Auto Figure Jin shortcodes, only the first component renders on that page.
Auto Figure Jin shortcodes
| Shortcode | Purpose |
|---|---|
[autofigjin_reviews] | Displays the review form, rating summary and published review list together. |
[autofigjin_review_form] | Displays the submission form only. |
[autofigjin_review_list] | Displays the rating summary and published review list. |
[autofigjin_rating_summary] | Displays the rating summary only. |
[autofigjin_my_review] | Displays the author editor for a published review or correction form for a held draft. |
The My Review shortcode should normally be placed on an account page intended for logged-in customers. The combined reviews shortcode is suitable for a public company-review page.
SEO, GEO and structured-data support
Auto Figure Jin renders published reviews as accessible HTML in the initial server response. Visitors, search crawlers and compatible generative systems can read the same visible content without depending on a remote review service or a JavaScript-only interface.
The plugin also generates conservative Review JSON-LD from visible review content. Its JSON-LD output is safely encoded for an HTML script context, protecting the structured-data block from review text that attempts to terminate the script element.
Structured and accessible content can help machines understand a page, but no WordPress plugin can guarantee crawling, indexing, rankings, rich results, Google review stars, Google Maps placement or inclusion in answers produced by ChatGPT, Gemini and other AI systems. Those decisions belong to each external platform.
Google does not generally award review-star rich results for self-serving Organization or LocalBusiness reviews controlled by the reviewed entity. Auto Figure Jin therefore avoids promises of Google stars and keeps its structured-data claims conservative.
Privacy and security boundaries
- No hidden telemetry or tracking is required.
- No external review API is required for core operation.
- Review data is not transmitted to a required remote service.
- The reviewer’s email address and IP address are not displayed or stored in the plugin’s review tables.
- Public output is escaped and sanitized through WordPress functions.
- Submission and administrative actions use nonce and capability checks.
- Suspicious feedback stays outside the public review table.
- Administrators can optionally enable complete plugin-data deletion during uninstall.

Who can use Auto Figure Jin?
Auto Figure Jin can support businesses and organizations that want first-party feedback on their own WordPress website while keeping the review process understandable to customers.
- Digital agencies collecting client experiences.
- Service companies publishing customer feedback and official responses.
- Membership websites where users already have registered accounts.
- WooCommerce websites that want a company-level review area in addition to product reviews.
- Local businesses that want transparent on-site feedback without importing or scraping third-party reviews.
- Developers who need an open-source review foundation with visible trust rules.
The plugin is designed for company-level feedback. It should not be used to impersonate an independent third-party review platform or to claim that self-hosted reviews are verified by Google or another external service.
Open-source code and documentation
Auto Figure Jin Free is released under the GPL-2.0-or-later license. Its public GitHub repository contains the approved version 1.0.0 source, WordPress documentation, official banner, icons and a clear project README.
Publishing the source allows developers and website owners to inspect the one-review logic, author-editing workflow, spam quarantine, structured-data handling and uninstall behavior before deploying the plugin.
Free and Pro direction
Version 1.0.0 is the independent Free foundation. It does not require Auto Figure Jin Pro or a paid external service to collect, validate and display reviews.
Auto Figure Jin Pro is planned for websites that need additional premium capabilities, integrations, analysis and support. The core trust rules remain important across both editions: the reviewer’s selected rating must not become an administrator-controlled marketing value, and official business content must remain distinguishable from customer feedback.
