'Get highest rated range' issue

    What I am trying to achieve is list 10 highest rated posts from the last, say, 30 days.

    According to the FAQ, I should use

    <?php get_highest_rated_range('30 days', 'post', 10); ?>

    The issue is with the range — the plugin lists the posts (seemingly) based on the date when they were rated (rating timestamp?), while I need the criteria to be the post date.

    If at all possible, I would also like to further limit the selection to a minimum of, say, 5 votes.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    That feature is not in the plugin and even using WordPress query_post() you will not be able to get Last X Days of post.

    You basically have to write your own query to archive that.

    I would recommend checking out get_highest_rated() function in postratings-stats.php and perhaps adding a $wpdb->posts.post_date >= ( CURDATE() - INTERVAL 5 DAY ) to the end of the query.

    Thank you very much for your help, I was able to achieve what I wanted.

    Is there a way I could preserve the newly created function somehow? For now I added it directly to postratings-stats.php, but this file will be overwritten when the plugin is updated.

    You can put it in your theme’s functions.php if there is one, if not you can create the file and put the function there

    Excellent. I had thought about adding the function to functions.txt, just wanted to make sure first it was the right thing to do. Again, thank you for your help, I will probably come back in a few days with more questions ??
