# Rate own posts

 * Hello,
 * I’ve been looking for a long time to rate my own posts (privately, as admin or
   writer), then filter them for my own use, for instance: only show 5-star posts,
   only show posts with ratings greater than 3 stars, etc.
    There was a plugin doing
   that (I think: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/rate-own-post/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/rate-own-post/))
   but it hasn’t been updated for ages.
 * Is the “Rate my post” plugin tweakable enough to do this:
    • hide ratings for
   everyone except admin or writers • filter posts greater than X stars
 * If this is not possible, could this feature be added? I could translate the whole
   plugin into French as a big thank you.

 * Hi [@machinchose](https://wordpress.org/support/users/machinchose/),
 * I guess you could add your own rating to each post in the post editor. [See image](https://blazzdev.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/feedback.jpg).
   You can then filter posts by rating in the stats section (ascending, descending
   and via search if you type in the number). If you don’t include the rating widget
   into posts (shortcode or automatically), it will not be shown. Could this work?

 * Hey Blaz, thanks a lot for taking the time to reply.
 * I’ve just tried your suggestion and it’s a very good start. However there is 
   a missing feature for me: the ability to display all filtered posts with their
   contents (in order to copy-paste the contents of the best rated posts from a 
   specific period, for example).
    Is there a special URL that could do that in 
   an archive page? For instance, to display all posts from 2019 and with 4+ stars:
   [https://www.mydomainname.com/2019/?rating=4+](https://www.mydomainname.com/2019/?rating=4+)
 * Also: is there a way to make the rating widget (in posts or archives) visible
   only by the admin or author? So as to facilitate the rating process in the website
   itself, avoiding the post editor.

 * [@machinchose](https://wordpress.org/support/users/machinchose/), that sounds
   a bit more complicated. If you have web development team behind, you could build
   such a feature on top of the plugin. The plugin comes with a handy function to
   retrieve average rating for each post. More about this in the [documentation](https://blazzdev.com/documentation/rate-my-post-documentation/).
   I would rather not include this in the plugin as I think it’s too much out of
   the scope of its intended functionality.
 * As for the second, you could add the rating widget directly in the template only
   if the user is admin, author etc. I have an example how to add a rating widget
   directly to the template in the documentation. You would have to wrap it into
   if statement – more about this [here](https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/131814/if-the-current-user-is-an-administrator-or-editor).

    Blaz
