@tombob2006 thanks but it’s still not working out for me even with that fix :\

Any update on this? I’ve got some sites where the map has stopped working and I’m wondering if I should just revert to an older version of the plugin.

Sorry, but those pages are a bit hard to interpret without actually seeing the shortcode.

[yasr_overall_rating] Set by default to read only.

[yasr_visitor_votes] Set by default to write.

[yasr_visitor_votes_readonly] Set to read only.

parameters:

size=”small,medium,large”

postid=”XXXX” XXXX being specific post ID

Are there other post parameters?

Well the good news is the free plugin works :). I tested the PRO plugin on another website on WPEngine and it works fine there. I do appreciate your work on this plugin and thanks for your replies. Do you think it’s possible to have a PRO version that doesn’t rely on PHP files being parse for CSS?

Also, if I end up not being able to use this plugin or if you can’t support servers that aren’t configured to parse PHP as CSS, could I get a refund? I wish I could use it and it’s a shame I won’t be able since it doesn’t seem to work for just any server config.

I’ve tested it using a basic LAMP dev environment, dreamhost and mediatemple.

My error log is full of these:

[Sat Nov 14 09:46:28.644087 2015] [authz_core:error] [pid 6242] [client ::1:40499] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /home/eric/Projects/moneymio/wp-content/plugins/yet-another-stars-rating-pro/css/yasr-rateit.css.php, referer: https://localhost/moneymio/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=yasr_settings_page&tab=pro_general_options

I found this pretty old article that talks about using PHP for CSS: https://css-tricks.com/css-variables-with-php/ which kinda goes along with that link you sent me.

So it looks like the issue here is the server isn’t configured to parse PHP files as CSS files. Right?

I’ve enabled mod_headers but could you provide me with the htaccess rules to handle PHP as CSS?

So it seems like the stars aren’t appearing because the yasr-rateit.css.php isn’t loading properly. Doesn’t seem to be an issue with permissions. Maybe because you’re running PHP as a CSS file?

The only way I’ve been able to get your plugin to work is by creating a yasr-rateit.css file that has the img directories specified manually and by editing the yasr-functions.php to point to this new .css file. Although this works, this is pretty unacceptable given this is the PRO version I’m using and any updates to the plugin will break this mod.

Not sure why it seems to work fine for everyone else and my setup refuses to serve up that css.php file. Any thoughts?

I checked permissions and they all seemed fine. I even changed it to 777 to no avail. Every other part of the plugin is enqueuing into WordPress properly, but it just does not like having a stylesheet that’s in PHP.

Is there a workaround where that CSS file doesn’t need to have that PHP extension? I’ve tried on a few different server environments and I get the same issue.

I’m getting this error in web console:

https://localhost/moneymio/wp-content/plugins/yet-another-stars-rating-pro/css/yasr-rateit.css.php Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 (Forbidden)

Yikes. Yea something looked fishy when support on his own site is apparently missing but is flooooded with ads everywhere. Couldn’t get this plugin to work and seems highly suspect.

I ended up using has_shortcode, specifically the last example.

I’m looking for something not completely random. It would be nice if there was a way to mark a slide as a “featured” slide, but it looks like it might be out of this plugins scope.

Found some useful info here: https://tommcfarlin.com/page-template-in-plugin/

Oops sorry that page_template line, I have it as:

$_p['page_template'] = dirname( __FILE__ ) . '/template-our-locations.php';

Ah I should have read more carefully. The plugin’s worked so well for me on my other sites, I never bothered :P.

Thanks and I appreciate the reply!
