Hi guys,

Did you find a solution? For me it works in Firefox and Chrome but not in IE if I have it deferred.

The best would be if we could somehow get Lester to re-write his plugin so it uses ajax and would work properly with caching plugins. I think a lot of us would be interested in this, even if it means paying a price for a pro version.

Hi money310,

Unfortunately I did not find a good alternative, so I am not using ratings at the moment. One which is really nice is https://rating-widget.com/, but it is very pricy for me (price is only for 1 domain), so I am not using it. The other is https://polldaddy.com/ which is ok, but for me the google rich snippets did not work properly, so I could also not use this. But at least it’s free and does the job decently, so I would recommend trying it out, maybe it will work properly with your theme.

Hope this helps!

Hi everyone,

I spent hours trying to find out what the issue is, turns out this was the problem (I installed CentOS 7 which uses the new apache server and fast-cgi):

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/resolution-to-the-dreaded-http-error-during-media-uploads

This part is basically the solution:

HTTP.CONF used to set a value for FcgidMaxRequestLen somewhere in the neighborhood of 1gb by default, which it no longer does in newer versions. The new default is 131072 bytes. that value is overiding your value in php.ini, so you Must change this to match your settings in php_max uploads so you don’t pull your hair out.

I hope this helps!

Hi guys,

I had the same issue, putting this in my stlye.css helped. Can’t remember where I’ve seen it but it works for me.

.fb_iframe_widget span{
width: auto !important;
}
.fb_iframe_widget span iframe{
max-width: none !important;
}

Happy New Year! ??

I would also like to know this please. Thanks!

Hi Emre,

Unfortunately PollDaddy also has some issues, the ratings don’t show in Google Rich Snippets. They said they have to fix this and there is no ETA for it.

So I am back to square one ??

What I would like to do is when someone rates an article (using WP-PostRatings plugin) I would like to clear the cache. Is it possible to have some action filter that clears the cache each time a rating is given?

I think it should be possible somehow since you have the option to “Clear all cache files when a post or page is published”.

Is it possible to apply this also when a new rating is given?

If you could point me to the right direction I would really appreciate it!

Thanks a for your help,

Jambo

Thanks Lester, I’ll give it a try, it seems to be quite good.

Done ?? Thx for your help!

BTW I have stopped using WP-Postratings plugin and changed to PollDaddy. Works like a charm!

FYI I have added this to my custom css in my theme and it seems to have worked. Not sure if it’s the proper way to do it but will do for now ??

.pd-rating { margin-bottom: -30px; display: block !important;}

Thanks Lester for your replies, much appreciated! You say that the plugin is dated. Would you be able to recommend a different plugin that I could use instead?

So I am now trying to find a workaround ??

I was thinking to trigger a cache clear each time a rating is set.

Lester wrote that I can use the “rate_post” action hook:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/any-cache-plugin-breaks-wp-postratings?replies=4#post-6275224

Could you help me with this maybe? Basically all I need is that when “rate_post” is triggered I would like to do a complete html cache flush (like in the option in your plugin to clear cache when a new post is published).

Thanks a lot for your efforts! ??

Ok, that’s a pity. Thanks for trying!

Thanks a lot Emre for your quick reply! I will wait for your response, I really hope it is compatible ??
