Ratings not showing up on latest posts front page

Hi,

Installed Wp-PostRatings as explained on the installation tab. I want the ratings to show up on every (new) post so I added code to the following files: Archive.php, Index.php, single.php and page.php. (I seem to not have post.php in the wp-content/themes/ directory ?)

I have added the code like this at page.php:

<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
  <?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?>
					<article class="clr">

for Archive & Index.php like this:

<?php
// Start counters to create rows
$wpex_total_posts = $wpex_count = 0;
// Loop through posts
while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();
// Add row for the fit rows style blog
if ( 0 == $wpex_count && wpex_blog_fit_rows() ) { ?>

<?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?>

Now, my front page = latest posts.
With the code added to the .php files, NO ratings show up on the front page.
When I add the [ratings] shortcode manually to a post, the Ratings DO show up on the front page.

I have <?php wp_footer(); ?> in the footer & <?php wp_head(); ?> in the header.

Is there something I am doing wrong or overlooking?

Lots of thanks for any help.
