That’s expected. JetSmartFilters doesn’t show a “JetReviews” data source in the filter editor (in many setups/versions).
The reliable way is: sync JetReviews rating into post meta, then filter/sort by that meta like a normal JetEngine field.
Here’s the working method (official Jet way):
1) Turn on JetReviews → Post Meta Sync (this is the key)
Go to:
WP Admin → JetReviews → Settings
Enable:
Then set:
Then click:
This writes each post’s average rating into post meta, so filters can use it.
2) Create the Rating filter in JetSmartFilters (using Custom Fields / Meta)
JetSmartFilters → Add New
-
Filter type: Range (or Rating filter if you prefer stars)
-
Data Source: Custom Fields
-
Custom field key: _jet_reviews_average_rating (or the key you set above)
If you used a different meta key in JetReviews settings, use that exact one.
