 * Hi there
 * I would like advice or a step by step guide on how to get the voting plugin running.
 * I followed this thread but it never worked:
    1. Copy Shauno’s file from [http://pastebin.com/ZbcPeGV0](http://pastebin.com/ZbcPeGV0)
   2. On your host, go to: wp-content>plugins>nextgen-gallery>products>photocrati_nextgen
   >modules>nextgen_basic_gallery>templates>thumbnails>index.php 3. Erase contents(
   not file) of index.php and replace with what you copied from pastebin. 4. Clear
   your cache
 * I am using nextgen gallery Version 2.0.40 |
    Using the basic thumbnails view.
   And i even purchased the pro voting plugin – still cant work. Premium Version
   1.6

 * Do you have the free version installed and active?
    Have you enabled voting on
   the images you want (tickbox on each image from NGG->Manage Gallery->[gallery
   name])?

 * Hey Shauno, I’ve been trying to get this to work also,
 * I did the step by step from the OP, but can’t get anything to work. Plugin is
   active and voting is enabled on both the gallery and the image(s) that I want
   voting enabled on. I’m just testing right now as the sight is new. Do you think
   you can look at it and maybe help me out?

 * To get to the page where I want voting click on the [Vote Here!] button under
   the slideshow widget I have made.
 * Thanks

 * Hey,
 * I just figured out what I did wrong. I was adding the pictures with the “Add 
   Media” button instead of thru the NGGallery.
 * Did it with the NGGallery button to add photos and the voting option was there.
 * Thanks for the great plug-in!
