    I’m searching for a way for registered users to rate other registered users. The problem I’m finding is getting it to work correctly for the logged in user.

    I use a profile plugin where all I have to do is put the shortcode on one page (mydomain.com/profile) and it creates the new profile for every user at mydomain.com/profile/user1.

    I’d like to display a rating form and ratings on this profile page. Does this plugin check for the logged in user and display the form and only that users ratings?

    Thanks!

  • Hi @selym,

    Have you tried using our User Availability Setting?
    You can check this at your WP Management Dashboard -> RatingWidget -> Settings.

    Here you can set if you want to hide/disable the ratings for unlogged users.
    However, this should works for WP logged users and I’m not sure if this will work with your user profile.

    Hi @bryan Lam,

    Thanks for taking the time to respond. I had seen the “User Availability Setting”, but that’s not exactly what I need. I just tested by putting the thumbs up/down rating on the one profile page, gave it a thumbs up to test, then visited a few other user profiles and it was unfortunately the same on all of them. Oh well.

    Hi @selym,

    My apologies, I can’t seem to access (mydomain.com/profile). Can you please send me a link to the page so I can check what you wanted to point out.

    Hi @bryan Lam,

    Oh, that url was not real and was only included to provide an example of how I use my profile plugin.

    According to the profile plugin author, “the user is identified from the URL. If the URL doesn’t specify a user, we display the current logged in user. Problem with third party plugin integration is that these plugins uses the logged in user ID and there no way to identify the loaded profile instead of logged in profile. So you will only get the review for logged in users.”

    I want the logged in user to be able to visit a(ny) profile and view that users specific ratings, and leave a specific rating for that user, but instead all I see is the ratings for that one (profile) page left by the logged in user.

    I figured if anything would work, it would be ratings widget since it’s such a mature plugin, but sadly I don’t think it will work for me either. ??
