Any way to allow upvote/downvote for visitors without them being logged in?

I’ll add this to the next version, as there has been multiple demands for the feature.

Very cool. I just saw an update come through today. Is it included? How do I activate anonymous upvoting?

See first reply in FAQ:

Please note that it only works in a mu-plugin for now:

Cool. Can I create /mu-plugins/grd_functions.php and have that contain only the code listed in the FAQ?

tried it. it worked!

thx

hello. i am using wp 4.2.2 and installed your plug in. so far it seems like a solution with tremendous potential. however, when i went to enable the anonymous voting in the mu-plugins folder, i ran into issues. i’m super bummed out because this might be a deal killer… been looking for a simple function like up/down vote with weight for a couple of days.

goal: enable anonymous (non logged in) comment up/downvoting, using a simple captcha, and utilizing your cookie/ip function to stop multi-voting by the same person.

i created derkachingchong.php and added the following lines:

<?php
add_filter( 'hmn_cp_allow_guest_voting', '__return_true' );
add_filter( 'hmn_cp_allow_negative_comment_weight', '__return_true' );
?>

while this did enable the hover over pointer on am anonymous user, it did not show the vote number change. i had to refresh to see the vote number change. also without this modification, a very lovely green/red js type modal pops out in the upper right. it doesnt do this after the mod.

but the killer is a white screen of death. after these filters are added, wordpress dies.

as of right now i am guessing this is because i am using 4.2.2

rather than diving in and hacking the code, i’d like to see if you can offer some insight and perspective. thanks again for creating such a great addition to the commenting system.
