Problems caused to the plugin by some internal changes and new features in WordPress 3.0 are now fixed. Meta boxes for ratings work again on pages, and also plugin has support for custom post types. Support for them is not full, but everything should be working.
Meta boxes on the post edit pages are now available for all public post types, both built in (posts and pages) and custom. This is for WordPress 3.0 only. For previous versions everything already works fine. To make main rating widget compatible with custom post types, there are some changes there and now you can select post types you want to use in the widget, all public post types will be displayed in the list. Few other things are fixed to ensure no problems with WordPress 3.0, and also some minor rendering issues are fixed. As usual, few typos on the interface are fixed as well.
If you notice any more problems with WP 3.0, please leave a comment and I will fix it as soon as possible (depending on the actual severity of the bug).

Although I have two or more custom post types, I can’t seem to see any in the drop down list in the GD star widget. I can only choose Post, not even page. Also, the Items Grouping by Taxonomy shows no custom taxonomy either. Is it not fully implemented or is this a bug? Thank you!

I use it for a project right now, and it works. Custom post types work for public post types (set as public in custom post type settings) and only in WP 3.0. Taxonomies also work. If it’s not working for you, problem can be the way you implemented them in the WP or you are not using WP 3.0 for post types or at least WP 2.8 for taxonomies.
I use my GD Custom Posts and Taxonomies Tools plugin and both set with it work just fine.

I also use your GD Custom Posts and Taxonomies.
So in order to make a post type work, we need to choose Public in Visibility settings of that post type? Is there anything else I must choose? (same thing for taxonomy). My custom post type works for everything, it just does not show up in GD star. I use all latest versions of GD star and WP.
Btw, I notice a bug on your homepage http://www.gdstarrating.com/:
.
If this article (GD Star Rating now on VPS.NET) is the first one in the left column, the link to GD Star Rating 1.9.2 in the Recent from Latest News will be wrong, it point to GD Star Rating now on VPS.NET. I’m not sure but I think you can reproduce it

Post type and taxonomy must be public in order for WP to display GUI for them. I can’t find any problems with this, and it works on all my tests and different setup and WP versions.

Same answer as on WP.org: I am 99% sure that problem is with your theme and some JavaScript or some CSS loaded by it or some other plugin. IE browsers can be a problem with complex JavaScript and CSS that easily override other code. You need to check what’s preventing GDSR code to run.
And BTW, read the FAQ, such conflict problems are common and there is nothing much I can do about them, they needed to be fixed at the source of the problem.

Hi again!
I just test on a new installation of WP 3.0 and latest of those two plugins and it still doesn’t show up. Here I have some screenshots that might help clarifying the problem I’m having:

Yes, yes, sorry. I can confirm that taxonomy in widget is broken with WP 3.0. GDSR 1.9.3 will be released soon. I found few more minor problems, and once all that is taken care of new version will be out.

Hi, I’m experiencing a problem with voting from different computers but part of the same wireless network.
The plugin seems to view any rating coming from any computer on that network as one user. So if user 1 votes on number 1, user 2 can no longer vote on number 1.
I couldn’t seem to find anything on this. Is there any way to work around that? Is this a known issue?

sorry, forgot to mention wordpress version is 2.9.2

By default votes are logged in DB with IP, and most likely your whole network is on the same outside IP. You can disable checking for IP, but that will mean that users can vote more than ones. Plugin also track registered users, but if you disable IP check there is no way to guarantee unique votes.

Thanks for the prompt reply.
So is there no workaround for this, that wouldn’t allow for multiple votes from the same user?
