Rating and voting plugins

When you want to know what people think then you can use a voting or rating system. I’m considering using this to find out what is considered most important for a website. The more important the requirement the higher the rating or the more votes it would get. I’m going to look at the following plugins selected from those matching my search keywords of: rating and vote. The one’s I pick to try will be popular and may be expected to work on the latest version of WordPress.

Plugins chosen

OK, that’s easy, I’m going to try wp-postrating on www.rowlandscastlewebdesign.com/rcgc wp-voting on www.cwiccer.com and gd-star-rating on on www.[fob][bong][hide].com

Initial comments

wp-voting requires me to add code to the theme template files if(function_exists('wpv_voting_display_vote')) wpv_voting_display_vote(get_the_ID()); so I’ll come back to that later.

WP-voting revisited

OK, I’ve had another look. I’ll try using the [wpvoting] shortcode then! I’m going to try this on www.rowlandscastlewebdesign/rcgc

That was unsuccessful. It doesn’t support WordPress Multisite

GD star rating

GD star rating didn’t install well on WordPress Multi-site. I got a couple of [fob]s so I’ve deactivated it. I’ve now installed a version on my local machine. It’s very complicated. So another one to come back to later. I did try it again on www.rowlandscastlewebdesign.com It seems to work.
