Description
Usage
- Open
wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/index.php
- You may place it in archive.php, single.php, post.php or page.php also.
- Find:
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
- Add Anywhere Below It (The Place You Want The Ratings To Show):
<?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?>

into the selected post/page content and it will embed ratings into that post/page only. - If you want to embed other post ratings use
[ratings id="1"]
, where 1 is the ID of the post/page ratings that you want to display. - If you want to embed other post ratings results, use
[ratings id="1" results="true"]
, where 1 is the ID of the post/page ratings results that you want to display.
