All files should be 644 and folder 755. That is standard setting that is most commonly used. If that doesn’t help, you need to consult your hosting admin. And donations are always welcome.

All the folder and sub-folders and files in this plugin have write and execute ticked. But the stars still dont appear. I have also reinstalled the software twice. But to no avail.

My offer of Â£25 still stands, perhaps I should make it more visible on a wordpress.org forum…?

I was not asking for FREE support, as it says above, I am willing to pay Â£25 for useful support,… from a patient person.

I will check the server access rights, though I have no idea why in my case they should be wrong, when they were not changed by me at any stage.

No, but I will add the tag with post date soon.

I really don’t know how some people can miss the most obvious way to find the solution, and that is simple browsing of the website. If you open the Tutorials menu, you will find the SOLVING PROBLEMS and 4 posts in it. One of them explains what the problem can be in your case: http://www.gdstarrating.com/2009/02/03/human-factor-problems/. Your server access rights to some of the plugins files are set wrong (most likely the whole folder with the plugin is set wrong), and CSS and JS files fail to load, because they are not ordinary static file but dynamic created using PHP.

I really should start deleting more comments, maybe then people will try to follow few basic rules about FREE support.

I am sure this problem has been discussed before, but despite much searching and effort, including by my web host (who specialise in wordpress) I am no closer to solving it

I get the following text displayed under each post,…but no graphics (e.g. stars) at all:
Rating: 0.0/10 (0 votes cast)
Rating: 0 (from 0 votes)

WordPress is in http://www.mande.co.uk/blog and there are some pre-wordpress static files in http://www.mande.co.uk/

I would pay Â£25 by Paypal to anyone who can solve this problem for me, and get the plugin working. I think it has potential, but it’s installation is costing me time

You’re going to kill me for multiple posts, but I’m wondering if there are any ELEMENTS available for Date? I’d love to completely replace my RECENT POSTS widget with RECENT RATINGS widget, but would like the post date on there. Is this currently possible?

YES! After poking around, I'm answering my own question. I simply change %STARS% to %REVIEW_STARS% in the template. Yes, very very happy. Great plugin!

Hey Milan, great plugin!

I’m having problems with my results displaying the actual rating in the stars. It shows the stars greyed out, and ranks the pages correctly, but stars aren’t right. Same thing for the widget… text results work, but stars are greyed out.

Here is link to example: http://www.coffeewithchuck.net/2009/09/los-angeles-best-coffee-shops/

Thanks for any help!

David, it took me a while to get it too.

It’s the T2 Templates section within the GD Settings in your admin wp-admin. If you click the Standard Rating Results link there, it will automatically create a new template after you rename it and save it, you’ll see the new template ID for that new template.

Rank is a tricky thing, it can’t be a globally valid, it depends on the results context. When you display results there is a tag to display rank (check my TVScape website ratings) in the current results set.

This is template type used to display ratings results.

By: MillaN

MillaN — Sat, 05 Sep 2009 21:34:55 +0000

Yes, results can be filtered by the category.

hi mike

just a question about ranking results etc ……..will you ever implement a `current rank` feature in future releases?

example

if i have 500 posts listed

at the end of each post we would be able to see what ranking it has

example: post #233 `current rank` 18
post #234 `current rank` 166

this would be a good way of ranking large list of posts on popularity etc.But enabling the visitor to see where its ranked without leaving the webpage.

keep up the good work love the plugin!!

What is Standard Ratings Results (SRR)? Where it located? In your user manual I can not find any information of builder.

It is good plugin. I will try it in my webpage.
Do you support list different categories? For example I have two categories, in each category I have several posts, I want to list the two categories in two table according to the rank of the posts within the category.

i used this template/style to display the results and it works perfectly. One question – how do i make it so that a person can vote directly from the results page by scrolling over the stars?- now when u scroll over the stars using the above code it doesnt work, is this possible?

I am deleting comments all the time. I have written many times on the rules, and still I get the same questions. But, this new question is different.

There is a plan to add this, but at this point is not possible. And hacking the code for this now is almost impossible to do without rewriting rendering of the multis. This will be done after 1.7.0 is released, and that’s still more than month away.

I’m pretty sure I’ve made a comment earlier today on this post. It seems it offended you.

Sorry about that.

I’ll try my luck with another question: Is it possible to use different colors for the stars in the same multi block? (Provided I export them in .png format, of course…)

I’m not a big fan of tweaking code inside plugins as I prefer them upgradeable.
