kk Star Ratings – Rate Post & Collect User Feedbacks

Last good version seems to be 4.2. In version 5 some things seems to be missing (left out in favor of PRO version) and if you show stars inside table those tables columns are not sortable any more.

Went bad over time


Shows the stars on Google as well and works like a charme since a lot of years


Love it
