Average Rating of the authors posts as custom content?

  • A great feature is to add custom content before and after each element. Would it be possible to add the average rating of the authors posts? I am using the Plugin WP-PostRatings.

    Thank you for this great Plugin!

    Hi @dtaberlin

    Happy to hear you like that feature. Will be a lot easier if we go ahead with the plan on making everything as options on a separate page instead of shortcode parameters.

    That way you can just add [authors_list] and manage all the settings in a nice UI.

    As for the ratings, I’ll check the plugin to see if they have a function to get the average rating for a user, if they do it’ll be easy to make it possible to display it in the list. If not, will dig a bit deeper in the plugin to see how it all works and probably write a function for that myself.

    Great to hear/read this!! I think every Multi Author Blog needs this function. But i did not find it yet. The Authors with the best rated Articles should be listable.

    Hi @dtaberlin

    From what I saw they do not have a function to get average score of an author.

    I then checked to see if that’s something I can code myself, but the ratings table in the database does not have information about the post author, only the post ID.

    So I can’t make a database query for ratings that is specific to an author.

    I also submitted a support request to WP Post Ratings asking them if it can be done.
