Hi, is the rating option from the form being displayed in google search results?
In my case, I've just added a star rating in the comment form and was wondering if it will be picked up by google?
Thanks
Also, if I use wpdiscuz for getting reviews (with star rating) will they be displayed on google search results?
Thanks
I've tested a page with rated comments here https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool?hl=ro#url=https%3A%2F%2Fnotariate.ro%2Fsuccesiune%2F
and the type is Thing which in no longer accepted. How can I change it to the new accepted types?

@tomson Thanks - Does it show the average rating of comments on Google search results? Does it work on both WPDiscuz & WooDiscuz? What happens if I install WPDiscuz and than choose to go back to the regular WP commenting system? Any issues with that? Thanks again!

Yes, it has an average rating.
wpDiscuz has no any relation to WooDiscuz. WooDiscuz is a WooCommerce plugin and the WooCommerce product rating is provided by WooCommerce. There is no any function in wpDiscuz which could related to WooDiscuz.
As the instruction says you should backup your database before update. In general there should not be any issue even if you downgrade. After the update you should delete all kind of caches, purge CDN if you have any, reset minifier/optimizer plugins cache, press Ctrl+F5 on website front-end. And use private session of mobile browsers to check the new version to avoid the hard cache of mobile browsers.
