FAQ

I can’t see the vote links

Users cannot vote for themselves. If you are the author of a topic or reply, the vote links won’t be available; the score only will be shown.

Can I filter the query to sort posts by votes ?

Yes, you can sort the posts by score or votes count, using the query variable ‘bbpvote_sort’.
Allowed values are ‘score_desc’, ‘score_asc’, ‘count_desc’, ‘count_asc’.

Example of a query that will fetch the 5 last topics, ordered by score (desc) :

<?php
$best_rated_topics_args = array(
  'post_type'       => bbp_topic_post_type(), //or 'topic'
  'posts_per_page'  => 5,
  'bbpvote_sort'       => 'score_desc' //plugin
);

$best_rated_topics = new WP_Query( $best_rated_topics_args );
?>

See function sort_by_votes() for more details.

How can I customize the look of the vote links ?

The best way to customize the links is to setup some CSS rules in your theme.
Check this example on CodePen to see how to have images displayed instead of text.

If you need more complex customization, you can filter the links using those hooks :

• bbpvotes_get_vote_up_link
• bbpvotes_get_vote_down_link
• bbpvotes_get_vote_score_link

could easily be greatest bbpress plugin

bellejoshy April 23, 2021

This could easily be the greatest bbpress plugin , it only has a few shortcomings which can be fixed This plugin does what no other ratings plugin does in a straightforward manner ..which is simply to show a log of users who have voted – ( i gave 4stars instead of 5 because the plugin is no longer supported)

Works great!

Hello, first of all my congratulations to the developer of excellent plugin, it works correctly very recommended to put a voting system in bbpress. Thank you very much for this excellent plugin !!!

Only admins can vote

I tried fixing this with ‘User Role Editor’ but can’t find a criterium to allow voting for users than are not admins. Making all users admins is not gonna happen.
