Here is yet another maintenance release fixing few remaining bugs I missed couple a days ago. Most of the problems were administration releated and non of the is too critical. But it’s better to have them fixed.
There was another bug in create folders for cache function, that was checking wrong path and refusing to create folders even if the wp-content was writable. Also, there was a problem with multi ratings settings tab that was showing even with multi ratings disabled. Cache warning notice is now moved inside the cache tab. And there are few visual enchancements and changes in admin panels.
There are few visual problems with rendering rating blocks caused by some themes and invalid or untested CSS styles that I have yet again tried to override. Latest problem was with a:hover selector. I expanded a:hover used by the plugin with !important, and that should solve this small visual problems. But, my guess that some themes will still be a problem. So if you encounter such strange rendering, check the CSS of your theme.

There is something wrong with your installation. This means that tables were not created as they should have. Check the database to see if the tables are there. If they are not, try using reinstall function on Setup panel. If that doesn’t help, check the mySQL and PHP version and post it here.

This will be fixed in next release. It’s strange that is reported as an error in the first place, your mysql must be set to very strict settings, this doesn’t appaer as error on any of the mysql servers I tested on.

Hi Milan,
Thanks for the frequent updates. One minor problem though: it’s not validating anymore. Not only on my blog, but here too.
It’s detecting 2 errors, 2 warnings on the following two lines:
(var i = 0; i < json.values.length; i++)
(var i = 0; i < rating_values.length; i++) {
I know it’s not something to worry about too much, but just letting you know.
Thanks!

Yes, I know about this, but the strange thing is that this is javascript, and it should be included in validation at all. I will investigate this.

Hi – great work with this!
I’m getting this error below (with 1.1.3) – even though the folders are writeable. I even tried 777. Also the “rank wheel” just keeps spinning when a star is clicked – any thoughts?
*****For cache to work, plugin must be able to access cache folder. Plugin has tried to create folders needed and failed. Until you resolved this issue cache feature can’t be used.
Either make wp-content folder writeable or create gd-star-rating folder in wp-content and make it writeable. Use 0755 chmod setting.*****
Donation coming – promise

Well, the message you get is not actually error. Plugin first try to see if the wp-content is writable. If it is than it tries to create gd-star-rating folder, and in it cache folder. Check if the wp-content is writable, and also try making gd-star-rating folder in wp-content manually. Maybe some server settings is causing problems. There are too many server types, and php settings I can’t test all that, and that’s why the message expains what the problem could be.
As fro the other problem, please read all the posts here about potential problems (tutorials category), 99% that the answer is there, but you need to really try all that. If nothing helps send me the url with plugin and I will take a look.

Hi just wondering what css class is used to change the vote count and the vote rating in the GD Star Rating widget?

I am not sure I understand what you mean. But you can add CSS classes to any rating block. Enable CSS settings on the general tab, and you can add additional CSS classes to each rating block.
