Hi @gunny, how are you currently showing the ratings on the comparison page? Did it work out of the box? Can you please share the url of that page. Thanks

In reply to: [Rating-Widget: Star Review System] I can't show star-widgetHi @alirezahs, there might be several things wrong. I would highly recommend to check or WordPress FAQ:

In reply to: [Rating-Widget: Star Review System] Integration with Jetpack?Yes – it should work out of the box! We are using JetPack’s comments with ratings on our own blog: http://rating-widget.com/blog/
You can use a service like http://tinypic.com/ to upload the screenshot to, and then share the link of the uploaded screenshot in this thread.
Can you please share a screenshot?
@soeren.bg that’s a really nice idea! We’ve just added it to our TODOs list.

In reply to: [Rating-Widget: Star Review System] Rating on post type (CPT)The plugin automatically works for all post types. If you can’t see the ratings it means that the post type isn’t using
the_content()hook. If that’s the case you can try to use our shortcodes:
http://rating-widget.com/support/wordpress/shortcodes/#platformHi @felix,
We are very sorry that you think SaaS solutions are “no-go”. And I’m sure you are using multiple SaaS widgets yourself which also store the data remotely (e.g. Facebook Like button). Hosting the ratings data externally actually has a lot of benefits like saving DB load and improved performance.
Anyways, if you’ll read the description of the plugin you’ll notice that we are not hiding that fact, on the contrary – we are explicitly mentioning it and proud to be the only ratings SaaS plugin on WordPress.
Here’s the quote from the description:
All Rating-Widget star ratings are fully customizable, cross-browser, support multi-language, CSS3 compliant and hosted by Rating-Widget.com.
Your rating is not fair and I’ll explain why. If we were selling a red car, rating it with 1-star because it’s not blue (your favorite color) make no sense. If you like to buy a blue car go and shop on other place 🙂
To help you out, we recommend to use GD Star Rating which is hosted directly on your WordPress server.
@ypeynaud sorry 🙁
Btw. If you do manage to add the updates, it would be awesome if you could share the instructions here so others can use it.
@ypeynaud that’s a great idea and I’ve just added it to the TODOs.
To be honest we are focused on other stuff now so I don’t see this coming in the near future.
If you want to push this forward, you can contact us via [support AT rating-widget DOT com] and ask for a special customization – but it won’t be free 🙁
@aurellius it requires some customization of the plugin’s code.
1. You’ll have to use the php shortcode and assign custom rating type (instead of using “page”, “front-post”, etc. you can use “my-type” for example).
2. You’ll have to modify the Top-Rated Widget’s code to query posts tagged with “my-type”.
@ypeynaud do you mean that you would like to have an activity update after every vote?
@jakept – Thanks a lot for the heads up. The FAQ wasn’t updated for a while. We’ve just made a quick revision and remove this. About a year ago we’ve decided to add registration in order to have some way to contact with our users (for sending maintenance messages, etc).

In reply to: [Rating-Widget: Star Review System] Deleting plugin but ratings still showing@gsj try to temporary deactivate all your caching plugins and see if that helps.
@spok74 can you please explain this further? What exactly do you mean?
