Moved site, plugin stopped working

  • I installed Simple Rating on a test site and got it working just fine in my custom theme using the manual insertion code suggested. I copied the entire wordpress database and all of the files to the production site, and now the rating no longer appears on my posts and the statistics metabox doesn’t appear when editing posts. The plugin is activated, and the settings for it are exactly the same as on my old site, including the checkbox for Show statistics metabox.

    Is there some reason why it would work on the testing site, but stop working when I move it to a different server and a new database?

    Glad to hear that you’ve managed to get it to work. What was the cause?

    I can’t say with 100% certainty, but it appears that whenever I re-uploaded the plugin files, it would reset some of the settings. I’m only using the Simple Rating plugin on pages of some custom post types. Despite having those post types checked in the settings, they somehow would get reset to unchecked.

    Also, I was using an updated rating.php with changes that you had recommended in another post on this forum, so I went around a few times, uninstalling the plugin, uploading the modified rating.php, re-inserting my wp_spr table backups into the database, etc., before I figured out what was going on and got it right.
