Requires at least: 4.9.6

Stable tag: 1.91.2

Adds an AJAX rating system for your WordPress site's content.

Description

Usage

Open wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/index.php
You may place it in archive.php, single.php, post.php or page.php also.
Find: <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
Add Anywhere Below It (The Place You Want The Ratings To Show): <?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?>

If you DO NOT want the ratings to appear in every post/page, DO NOT use the code above. Just type in [ratings] into the selected post/page content and it will embed ratings into that post/page only.
If you want to embed other post ratings use [ratings id="1"], where 1 is the ID of the post/page ratings that you want to display.
If you want to embed other post ratings results, use [ratings id="1" results="true"], where 1 is the ID of the post/page ratings results that you want to display.
