Display post rating on index.php *only* if post already has rating?

    Hi guys,

    Racking my brain on this one – hope you guys can steer me in the right direction.

    As you’d expect, I allow ratings to be left when viewing an individual post. I am also using the code from this thread to display the rating for each post, without allowing the users to vote from the homepage (index.php):

    However, what I really need right now is for the index.php post ratings to not even display for that post if no ratings have been left. Reason being is that it looks like a post has a poor rating (empty 5 stars) if no rating has been left.

    Would this be possible. How would one go about accomplishing this? My PHP skills are limited at best, so that probably explains why I haven’t been able to work out a straightforward way of accomplishing this.

    Thank you in advance for any and all help. I really appreciate it. ??

    Untested:

    <?php
if(is_home() || is_front_page()) {
$number_votes = intval(get_post_meta(get_the_id(), 'ratings_users', true));
if($number_votes > 0) {
the_ratings();
}
} else {
the_ratings();
}
?>

    Looks good! It appears to have done the trick. Cheers, LC! ??
