Adding star rating into sidebar widget

Hi Ben,

yes, you can add the shortcode [ratemypost] to a text sidebar widget. However, you might want to show the widget only in posts and pages – archives and such can’t have ratings. Here is a good blog post that explains how to add the widget only to posts and pages: https://www.wpbeginner.com/plugins/how-to-show-or-hide-widgets-on-specific-wordpress-pages/

I didn’t test the plugin mentioned in the article but according to reviews it seems to be good.

Let me know if you need further assistance.
