[Plugin: GD Star Rating] Moving to another solution

  • I have been using GD Star Rating plugin for a long time. Will try another solution and here’s my point for doing so:
    – every now and then the comments rating would simply disappear;
    – while looking at the hits to the server I sense some real performance impact to WP;
    – plugin is somehow intrusive (did you really need to add that red bordered box on the plugins page?), using custom UI design (as opposed to available native WP backend UI) and way too many administration features at once.

    If you can get this to work as expected and have the time to tweak the settings all the time, I would say – keep using it, there’s nothing else around as powerful as this.

    Thanks GD Star Rating.

  • First off, I’d like to say that GD is a very powerful plugin but it’s overkill (and bloat) for my simple needs.

    If you do find another solution, please keep me in the loop.

    Yes, I agree on some points. I am developing GD Star Rating for over two years, and it helped me learn a lot about WordPress. And, some things are not done right, some are too complicated.

    I have started working on a complete rewrite GD Star Rating 2.0, but due to lack of free time, it’s going slow. It will be much faster, much easier to use even for some complex tasks. Hopefully I will find some time for it soon.

    @wpdeveloper,

    Did you find another voting system? If so, what was it?

    Thanks!
