Star Ratings show, but do no work

I’m using the Twenty-Ten theme, which is old, but I like it’s simplicity and flexibility. WordPress and all plugins are automatically updated.

I’ve been using Ultimate Blocks, “Star Ratings.” However, the same issue occurs with Jet Pack’s “Star Rating.” The stars and associated text appear on web pages, but user input does not work. And, this happens with both Ultimate and Jetpack. In addition, the Ultimate Blocks Star Rating is supposed to include a review box underneath the stars, but that does not appear on webpages.

I’ve activated and tried the ratings on themes “Twenty-Seventeen” and :Twenty-Twenty-Two,” but they still do not accept user input. I’ve also deactivated all plugins, except security plugins and Jetpack and Ultimate, but this made no difference.

Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The WP Start Rating widget doesn’t work either.

The ‘Star Rating’ block of Ultimate Blocks doesn’t have the functionality to let users give their ratings. Only the author of the post can decide the rating.

Istiak,

Wow! Why have star rating if users can’t use them?! But, none of the other star rating blocks work, either. And, they won’t work for me (the author) either. This just doesn’t make any sense to me.

Thanks.

Here’s how you can change the value from the author’s side: https://www.awesomescreenshot.com/video/29946093?key=a8167dd567b3651d929ddf9fb1cde77c

Yeah, I know “I” can change the value in the settings, but Star Ratings are for users/readers to rate the material. The point is — how do I get Star Ratings to work as they should? Why have these blocks, if they don’t work? In fact, why use WordPress at all, if I can’t set up sites and have them work the way they should?

I appreciate your efforts, but having the author set the star rating isn’t a solution. It is like a researcher submitting an article to a “refereed journal,” where the author is the referee. If we have a rating system, the authors or webmaster cannot be the ones rating the work; it must be the readers/users. Otherwise it is just BS.
