 * Hi
    Great Plugin thanks. I’m not an expert and I have read the other comments
   but would greatly appreciate your help. I have a website [http://www.roomforargument.com](http://www.roomforargument.com)
   and I would like to allow visitors to; 1. Vote for several different items on
   one post page (each page has a list of several ‘for’ and ‘against’ propositions).
   The second time I go to vote for a different item it tells me I have already 
   voted because I voted for a different item. 2. I would really like to re-order
   the items on each post column (usually I have two separate columns)so the ‘most
   voted for’ items automatically go to the top of each column and they reorder 
   in descending order according to number of votes.Please note I dont want to rank
   posts – I want to rank within each post.
 * Please see my first attempt at;

 * Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

 * Hi Peter,
 * It’s tricky. You should not add multiple thumbs buttons in 1 post. The plugin
   gets the post ID from the loop meaning (like you posted) it will store only one
   vote (the post where the other posts are in).
 * In order to do multiple posts you have to use page-like archives. Where there’s
   a Loop printing multiple posts.
 * More on the Loop: [http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop](http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop)
 * Regarding the re-order, it’s not easy if you don’t know anything about WordPress
   Themes. You have to query posts using the meta_keys
 * Using [http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts](http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/get_posts)
   you can use the following meta_key
 * _thumbs_rating_up
    _thumbs_rating_down
 * Best,
 * Rick

   rate items and stuff like that.
