Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Rate My Post - Star Rating Plugin by FeedbackWP

For support use the support forum, but please do read the guidelines and documentation before posting.

Rate My Post works with all caching plugins. If you are using caching plugin other than WP Super Cache, LiteSpeed Cache, WP Fastest Cache, WP Rocket or SG Optimizer, you should enable AJAX load results in the advanced settings.

The plugin allows visitors to rate posts, pages and custom post types. It is not possible to rate archives (categories etc.) as the ratings are stored in the post meta. Nevertheless, custom rating widgets are coming soon. The rating widget is displayed multiple times This typically happens with various "page builder" themes. In such cases it's best to include the rating widget with the shortcode [ratemypost] instead of using the automatic option. If that's too much work, you can add it directly to the template of your theme. See the procedure in the documentation under Troubleshooting -> The “Add rating widget to all posts” feature is not working.

Yes, it's possible to have multiple rating widgets on a single web page (posts, pages etc.). Nevertheless, this feature only works if ajax load results is disabled.

The documentation is available here. The vote count and average rating are not correct on page load Such issues typically appear due to caching. If you are encountering such issues enable Ajax load results in the advanced settings. The plugin stopped working after the update If you encounter problems with the plugin after the update, first clear the cache (page cache, minify cache, CDN cache such as CloudFlare etc.). Then open an incognito window and see if the problem has been solved. In case it hasn't don't hesitate to contact me via the support forum. I can't save the settings If you have trouble saving the settings, clear your browser cache. Such problems typically appear after the update because the browser is still serving old files from cache.

Yes, the plugin is fully compatible with multilingual websites. If you are using the plugin on a multilingual website enable Multilingual website compatibility mode in the advanced settings and then translate strings through your plugin for translations.

Not necessarily because the plugin allows you to customize all frontend strings in the settings. However, backend strings can only be translated with translation files.

The plugin adds structured data for rich snippets, if you choose structured data type in the settings. Note that since September 2019 Google Shows aggregate rating rich snippets only for the following structured data types: Product, Book, Course, CreativeWorkSeason, CreativeWorkSeries, Episode, Game, LocalBusiness, MediaObject, Movie, MusicPlaylist, MusicRecording, Organization, Recipe, HowTo, SoftwareApplication and Event. The plugin supports all these structured data types except HowTo, SoftwareApplication and Event. SoftwareApplication and Event structured data types are available in the Premium version. HowTO is at the moment not supported.

You should choose structured data type that fits your blog posts. If your blog posts are recipes than choose Recipe; if they are courses select Course etc. In case your blog posts don't fit any structured data type, then you are according to Google Guidelines not eligible for rich snippets. Learn more about this here. If you are in doubt about which structured data type to choose (if any) ask for advice on Google Help Community. They will provide you with better answers than I can. Optional fields for rich snippets are missing Optional fields are not required for rich snippets to show. Hence, the plugin in some structured data types (for example product) skips the optional fields. The Premium version of the plugin supports optional fields for all structured data types and provides search engines with a more complete information about pages on your website. Rich snippets are not showing If rich snippets are not showing check that the structured data is valid here. If it's valid than search engines probably don't trust your website enough to show rich snippets. You can fix that by producing high-quality content.

You can see the feedback for each post in the post editor at the bottom (meta box). There you can also manipulate ratings and see to which rating the feedback belongs. You can find more info about the rating in the analytics section.
