Yes, you can use it only one category. The way to do it is to use different rules and restrictions. I plan to publish a post on the subject in the next few days. One post on use of the categories is already published.

This is a huge plugin! Am all lost in the documentation. So before I start – Can GD Star Rating be applied to only ONE category instead of site wide?

I have a category called reviews. And would like the commenters to comment and give their review rating -> which then add up and show average rating for the post in that category only.

Sorry if this question has been asked before I’ve just been browsing through your documentation and site for about an hour and couldn’t find the answer.

I was going through the code for this, and everything appears fine. But considering number of settings, maybe it isn’t. Can you please send me screenshor of the full widget settings from admin settings, so I can check it out. You can send it to my email: milan at gdragon dot info. Thanx.

Perhaps I’m not expressing myself clearly – sorry

I have specified the multi set in the widget itself. I have ~500 posts and a great number of them have been ranked. What shows in decreasing order on the widget on the home page are only a handful of them – where are the others? i.e., some have 5 or more votes/higher rankings, and they are no where to be found?

Confused.

If you are using multi sets, you must select multi set for the widget, and only data gathered for that multi set will be displayed. There is no way, and there will be no way to combine ratings from different sets.

Ratings show perfectly on the blog main page (and individual posts). The problem:

1) they are not registering on the panel; and because of that

2) the widget is only ranking a handful of my posts!

Thoughts?

Well, this panel is still in works, I will check it out. And ratings are displayed ok on the blog pages, only this panel is not showing them all?

This is great, Milan. I’ve recently downloaded the widget and am proudly displaying it on my blog (click on my name).

One question – only a handful of my posts have ratings which are ‘saved’ in the Multi-Set Results page of the plugin (I am using 1.4.6). Why is it not picking up the hundreds of other posts myself, and readers, have rated online??
