Solid plugin, but some issues with tagDiv themes (v3.4.15)
-
Overall, Yet Another Stars Rating is a powerful and flexible rating plugin, and it does the job well for displaying ratings on single posts. The options for multi-criteria rating and the way ratings are integrated into the content are very useful.
However, there are a few bugs when using this plugin with tagDiv themes (e.g. Newspaper / Newsmag). With version 3.4.15, the plugin incorrectly shows rating stars for the category itself on category archive pages, instead of only showing ratings for the individual posts listed in that category. This is confusing for visitors, because it looks like the category is being rated, not the articles inside it.
Apart from this, the plugin remains functional, but this display issue is problematic for sites that rely heavily on categories and archives. It would be very helpful if the developer could improve compatibility with tagDiv themes and provide an option (or fix) to prevent stars from appearing on category titles.
Once this bug is resolved, YASR will be much easier to recommend for use with tagDiv-based news and magazine sites.
