Post Rating plugin is a must for Wordpress powered sites that runs a popularity type of post/contest daily, weekly or monthly.

The WP-PostRatings 1.10 by Lester Chan adds an AJAX rating system for your WordPress blog’s post/page.

General Usage

Open wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/index.php

You may place it in single.php, post.php or page.php also.

Find:

[php]<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> [/php]

Add Anywhere Below It (The Place You Want The Ratings To Show):

[php]<?php if(function_exists(’the_ratings’)) { the_ratings(); } ?> [/php]

If you DO NOT want the ratings to appear in every post, DO NOT use the code above. Just type in [ratings] into the selected post content and it will embed ratings into that post only.

Note

Note: In IE, some of the post ratings’ text may appear jagged (this is normal in IE). To solve this issue,

Open postratings-css.css

Find:

/* background-color: #ffffff; */

Replace:

background-color: #ffffff;

Where #ffffff should be your background color for the poll.

Ratings Stats (Outside WP Loop)
