How To Add Star Rating Reviews In WordPress

Why not enhance your site or project with some helpful feedback?
Here Is: How To Add Star Rating Reviews In WordPress.

I’m running WP-Post Rating and I’m in love. You might have a favorite of your own. If you do have another favorite please like a link in you comment and I’ll add it.

WP-PostRatings 1.31

WP-Post Ratings Link

Open wp-content/plugins Folder.
Put Folder In: wp-postratings.
Activate WP-PostRatings Plugin.
Open Single.php file in your theme folder.

To have rating stars in all your posts paste:
<?php if(function_exists(‘the_ratings’)) { the_ratings(); } ?>In the file under your content tag.

If you just want to choose what pages have star ratings just paste: ratings with [] around it into the selected post/page content and it will embed ratings into that post/page only.

Hi,

You really need to fix that link up. You should be linking to:

http://lesterchan.net/wordpress/readme/wp-postratings.html

which is the plugin’s home page.

At the moment you are linking to the readme file in the plugin directory on someone else’s website (who has nothing to do with the plugin beyond the fact that they are running it)!

Looks like the link is fixed now – and it is actually a pretty good WP rating set. Thanks
