    Hello,

    I am only using the thumbs up button (I have changed the CSS of thumbs down to display:none). I want to display the number of thumbs up at the top of the page next to comments. For example: 5 comments – 8 likes. What function would I need to call in order to display that number (the number 8 in example)?

    Hi chrisgagner,

    First of all, thanks for using the plugin!

    Here’s the snippet to print the number of up votes. You should paste it inside the loop (near the comments should be fine):

    <?php $thumbs_rating_up_votes = get_post_meta(get_the_ID(), '_thumbs_rating_up'); print_r($thumbs_rating_up_votes[0]); ?>

    Let me know if this works for you,

    Cheers.

    Ricard

    The code works if the number of votes is greater than 0. However, when it’s 0, it returns nothing.

    Is there a way to make it so that it can display a 0 when there are no votes?

    Alright chrisgagner, don’t worry.

    I’ll create a new function in the plugin to print the value (0 or any).

    I’ll let you know.

    Hey chrisgagner,

    I’ve pushed a new update (1.4) with two new functions to print the values.

    After updating, you can find them here:
