Overview

Post Ratings is a simple, developer-friendly, straightforward post rating plugin. Relies on post meta to store avg. rating / vote count.

For more information, check out plugin page at dFactory or plugin support forum.

Features include:

  • Allow your site users to rate posts (of any kind)
  • Display the average post rating, vote count or weighted (bayesian) rating within your posts
  • Display a widget with the top rated posts in your sidebar
  • Allow you to create your own rating formula

Why another rating plugin? Because the existing ones are either outdated, bloated with useless functionality, or just too buggy 🙂
