Thanks for your review and translations @claudebehr! Are you interested in becoming an editor for french locale for the plugin? This way you could approve your translations yourself. I can make a request for you. Let me know 🙂

Can you send me the example of this markup in Google Structured Data testing tool? Is it error-free? The guidelines are pretty clear and they don’t state that rich snippets can’t be displayed for blog articles. They just require that the blog article falls into one of the categories listed in the guidelines (howto, recipe, book, course etc.). Hence, the plugin was adjusted accordingly and allows you to select the type property. There is also a filter “rmp_structured_data” which allows complete modification of structured data.

I’m planning to release version 3 by the end of January on Github for testing.

Hi @jorgert,

I don’t completely understand your question. The plugin is primarily intended for visitors to rate posts on a website. Nevertheless, in the security settings you can limit ratings to only logged-in users. Besides from that, it’s not possible to limit ratings.

It depends what is the article about 🙂 since mid-September Google does not support rich snippets for articles unless they belong to one of the categories listed here: https://webmasters.googleblog.com/2019/09/making-review-rich-results-more-helpful.html?m=1

Merry Christmas and happy new year!

Thank you! 🙂

Hi @kardunvs,

check out the documentation here: https://blazzdev.com/documentation/rate-my-post-documentation/

These are functions/methods of your interest:
rmp_get_avg_rating( $postID )
rmp_get_vote_count( $postID )
Rate_My_Post_Public_Helper::get_visual_rating()

Hi @geckoroutes,

the Schema Pro structured data will interfere with Rate my Post structured data as both plugins use the same data types. So, the best thing to do would be to either disable Schema Pro structured data or Rate my Post structured data in the settings. Rate my Post’s structured data is focused on aggregate ratings (votes) and at the moment doesn’t support optional fields such as price. Nevertheless, there is a filter (rmp_structured_data) which allows you to modify the structured data to your needs. More about this in the documentation: https://blazzdev.com/documentation/rate-my-post-documentation/

@adesigno,

you were close 🙂 So, if you want to list ratings for all posts, you first need to make a loop: https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/basics/the-loop/

Something like this should work:

<?php 
if ( have_posts() ) : 
    while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); 
        the_title( '<h2>', '</h2>' ); 
        echo Rate_My_Post_Public_Helper::get_visual_rating();
    endwhile; 
else: 
    _e( 'Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.', 'textdomain' ); 
endif; 
?>

Note that the stars will be without style and if post has no ratings the method will return false. This will be handled differently in version 3 which is being developed and will be released in early 2020.
