WP-PostRatings Widget

  • Hi

    I have downloaded and installed the WP-PostRatings Widget in the WP admin, however the widget does not appear on the blog front end?

    Should the widget appear automatically or do I need to enable it in the template? The theme I am using is Compositio 1 by Design Disease

    Any ideas?

  • After you install wp-postratings and activate both the wp-postratings plugin and the wp-postratings widget plugin, then in Appearance->Widgets add the Highest Rated widget to your sidebar.

    Thanks

    I have enabled them in the appearance page as you described, and they are showing in the side bar.

    However how do you then rate articles? Do you need to include code into the templates? As in the posts there is no rating feature to allow users to rate the article?

    According to Lester’s instructions you need to put something like this in your post loop:

    <?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?>

    Hi Michael

    Thanks for the link, but ir does not work? It keeps crashing the browser IE7 and Firefox?

    With the snippet you describe above, where is the post loop in the page?

    I.E. What page is the page loop in? index.php?

    how to “Activate” WP-PostRatings Plugin?
