WooCommerce Product Reviews are enabled by default when you install WooCommerce for the first time. If you aren’t using them, then you should consider disabling them as they will load unnecessary scripts, dashboard widgets, and product meta options on your WordPress site. There is now an option built into WooCommerce to disable them globally.

To disable WooCommerce reviews simply uncheck the “Enable product reviews” under the “Products” tab in the WooCommerce plugin.

Disable WooCommerce Reviews

This does the following:

  • Removes the reviews tab from all products on your WooCommerce site.
  • Remove the WooCommerce recent reviews widget from your dashboard and the front-end.
  • Disables the enable reviews option under advanced product metadata.
  • Disables the reviews meta box from product post types.
