Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Custom Ratings

In Custom Ratings, a "star" is a general term used to describe the rating object. A "star" can be a cupcake, heart, star, smiley face, shoe, etc.
The rating tally is a non-interactive display of the current ratings of a post. This is displayed visually as the number of stars out of a total of 5 stars. This hooks into the "the_excerpt" filter. Where ever that filter is used, the Custom Ratings rating tally will be displayed (unless disabled in the settings).
The vote display is an interactive component which allows users to rate a post. This rating can be 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 stars out of 5. The vote display hooks into "the_content" filter. Where ever that filter is used, the Custom Ratings vote display will be displated (unless disabled in the settings).
Custom Ratings has been designed with WPML compatiblity in mind. All of the votes of a specific post are shared amongst the different language versions. One caveat is that a post in the default language must be created in order for Custom Ratings to function. The default language post holds all of the rating information.
Yes. You can choose which (if any) custom post types Custom Ratings gets applied to.
Each time a page loads with Custom Ratings components, an AJAX request is sent to the web server to get the vote information for the posts on that page. The "Expires" and "Cache-Control" values can be specified for this request if desired. CDNs and other caching tools can read these HTTP headers and handle the caching from there.
Custom Ratings has been designed to offer lots of flexibility for custom theme development: Custom_Ratings::get_rating_object_image_src() can be used in your theme to get the 'star' (rating object) image echo Custom_Ratings_Public::display() can be used to manually output the rating tally echo Custom_Ratings_Public::vote() can be used to manually output the rating vote interface If you are creating your own queries, you can order the results in different ways: The post meta key _wpcr_rating_stars_avg can be used to order posts by rating average The post meta key _wpcr_rating_stars_count can be used to order posts by total rating count
