<p>I needed a simple and light plugin to add Thumbs Rating, I couldn’t find any so I built my own.</p>
<p>This plugin allows you to add a thumb up/down rating to your content (posts, pages, and custom post types). You can set it up to show anywhere you want, check out the Installation instructions.</p>
<p>The output is very basic, no images, no fonts, no fancy CSS. Customize the ouput overriding the CSS classes in your <strong>style.css</strong> file.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>No output printed by default, <strong>check the Installation instructions</strong>.</li>
<li>Stores the votes values for each content in the current post table (no new database tables are created).</li>
<li>Uses HTML5 LocalStorage to prevent the users from voting twice.</li>
<li>Easy to customize the output using CSS.</li>
<li>Show the most voted (positive/negative) items using shortcodes.</li>
<li>Show the buttons using shortcodes.</li>
<li>No jQuery dependency.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Internet Explorer 11 support</h4>
<p>If you want the plugin to work with IE11 users, you need jQuery. For that use the 3.4.2 version of the plugin.</p>
<p>From 4.0.0 onwards the plugin has no dependencies and uses vanilla JavaScript (ES6 syntax). Which will cause it not to work for IE11 users.</p>

Thumbs Rating

I'm so glad I stumbled upon this plugin. Everything works flawlessly, even with a site with 200+ entries directly on a homepage (a timeline).

Thank you for this superb plugin Richard. I was really lucky to pick this one when looking around for a good one.

I can't share the site because of the rules, but lets just say I'm more than happy with the result :-)

The code example for clearing cache on vote was useful as well.

Fantastic!

Thumbs Rating does what you'd expect. It allows you to add a thumbs up/down to your content (posts, pages, and custom post types).

<p>This plugin adds a pair of buttons that provide the ability for visitors to your website to give feedback on page / post / custom post type content by up / down rating. The Up/down rating statistics can be viewed on the respective post lists in the WordPress admin and also via a table of statistics in a Dashboard widget, these statistics can be exported in a CSV format file.</p>
<h3>Example usage:</h3>
<p>Enable the plugin and access the “RC Post Rating” page in the Settings menu in your WordPress Admin to configure the required settings. The settings screen allows you to enable/disable the Dashboard widget, admin columns for the various post types on your site, set the global default Up / Downvote button text and also global default CSS classes for the buttons.</p>
<p>There are two methods that can be used to add the buttons to your site, a shortcode and a block for the modern block editor. Note that the simplest way to use it is to set the global attributes in the settings page then add the shortcode or block to the page / post / cpt content, the global defaults will automatically be brought in to the rendered code from each of these blocks. Note however that the shortcode (unlike the block version at this time) does provide a way to override these defaults, so if alternatve Up / Down text was needed for a specific page then these can be set per page if needed. The shortcode attributes are as follows:</p>
<ul>
<li><code>id</code> – defaults to the ID of the page that the shortcode is on, so this doesn’t need to be specifically set in the shortcode so normally you would omit this attribute</li>
<li><code>classes</code> – defaults to the global values from the plugin settings page, or empty if these haven’t been set</li>
<li><code>uptext</code> – defaults to the global values from the plugin settings page, or ‘Up’ if these haven’t been set</li>
<li><code>downtext</code> – defaults to the global values from the plugin settings page, or ‘Down’ if these haven’t been set</li>
</ul>
<p>The most basic shortcode format is:</p>
<pre><code>[rc_post_rating]
</code></pre>
<p>To override the default classes and button text you would use:</p>
<pre><code>[rc_post_rating classes="my-buttons" uptext="Yes" downtext="No"]
</code></pre>
<p>This will use the default settings from the plugin’s admin page.</p>
