Title: Configurable ratings plugin Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Configurable ratings plugin * [jinsan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jinsan/) * (@jinsan) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurable-ratings-plugin/) * I’ve seen quite a few plugins that seem to do the job reasonably well, and I don’t know if this is a specific issue with me or if there are more people after a plugin that has more options with regards to ratings. * Basically the following is the sort of thing I am looking of in a ratings plugin: * * Ability to place rating anywhere on a post (under the heading or next to it for example) * * ability to change the format of the ratings – for example, the choice between%, x/10, x/10 etc * * ability to change the image of the rating based upon category – for example, for music I would want to use headphones, for film I would like to use a reel, for games a space invaders alien thingy. User makes a post in the game category, ticks the game box, adds the rating out of x and it’s automatically displayed as the appropriate category image. * *ability to have a total score which is then aggregated by readers – so a user visits, sees something has an author rating of 5 udders out of 10, and decides they want to give it 6 udders out of 10 – the author rating would then (in brackets) have an average reader rating of 6 out of 10 udders perhaps displayed with the number 6 and then the image of the udder). * That’s all I’m after. I dont’ mean to be flippant when I say “all I’m after”, I appreciate the complexities and the lack of understanding I have on how a plugin is made, but what if someone was able to take an existing plugin and then work from that? * I have looked at structured blogging, and it’s lack of multipages is a turn off– other than that I think it is a very fine plugin. Except they way it handles the category slug which should perhaps take the title from the title of the item rather than the title of the post – but perhaps this is forced by WP? * I’m not a coder or programmer so I wouldn’t know what to do or how to do it, I’m hoping some kind soul can come up with sometehing that matches this description. * Thanks for reading:) Viewing 6 replies - 1 through 6 (of 6 total) * [redshoes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redshoes/) * (@redshoes) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurable-ratings-plugin/#post-173905) * I need something like this too. I use wordpress as a recipe collection and would like to allow readers to rate the recipes. Some sort of simple stars ratings would be fine, I suppose, as long as it rates the posts, not the comments. I have looked at [Rate-It](http://dev.wp-plugins.org/file/rate-it/trunk/cjd_rate_it.php) and wish I could find an example of a site using it so I could determine if it is right for me. Any recomendations? * Moderator [James Huff](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macmanx/) * (@macmanx) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurable-ratings-plugin/#post-173906) * Well, configurability in a ratings plugin is hard to come by these days. But, the best ratings plugin I’ve seen lately is Votio: [http://www.asymptomatic.net/archives/2005/03/24/1419/votio-again/](http://www.asymptomatic.net/archives/2005/03/24/1419/votio-again/) * [redshoes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redshoes/) * (@redshoes) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurable-ratings-plugin/#post-173933) * Hmm, Votio looks good, but I spent hours trying to install it and coudn’t seem to get it vote-able. Not sure why. Finally gave up. *sigh* Maybe I was just too tired. 🙂 Thanks for the tip though. I’ll give it another shot another time. * [ghecko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ghecko/) * (@ghecko) * [21 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurable-ratings-plugin/#post-174025) * I installed this and even though it all seems to work OK no voting box appears anywhere even though I have the in my template. * Oh well lets wait for one that works to come along. * [RedSkunk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/redskunk/) * (@redskunk) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurable-ratings-plugin/#post-174039) * I’m also trying to get this working, to no avail. help plz? * [VVV](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vvv/) * (@vvv) * [20 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/configurable-ratings-plugin/#post-174111) * i too am in the same boat. there seems to be nothing out there that does what we need.
