<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).
