Rate my Post - WP Rating System

Rate my Post - WP Rating System allows you to easily add rating functionality to your WordPress website. Visitors can rate your posts/pages and send you private feedback after rating. Functionality to create custom rating widgets that work independently of posts and pages is coming soon.

Prerequisites

Please ensure you have the following tools installed before starting:

• Node.js

Getting started

Within your WordPress installation, navigate to wp-content/plugins and run the following commands:

git clone https://github.com/blaz-blazer/rate-my-post.git
cd rate-my-post

To install all the necessary dependencies, run the following command:

npm install

Change proxy in gulpfile.js to match your local environment:

function browser_sync() {
	browserSync.init({
		proxy: 'http://localhost/wordpress' // replace with your wordpress install
	});
}

Start development server with the following command:

gulp watch

Build production version of the plugin (copies files to rate-my-post directory, minifies resources and creates POT file) with the following command:

gulp build

Known Limitations

• The plugin uses CSS at-rule: @media: hover to highlight rating icons on hover. Hence rating icons will not get highlighted on older browsers. The at-rule is used because otherwise double tap was required on iOS devices to submit the rating.
• If ajax load results is enabled, only one rating/results widget on page will get initialized because otherwise we would cause too many script executions.
• It is not possible to have more than one rating widget for the same post on a single web page.
• The plugin requires jQuery
