No problem, and that sounds wonderful. Thanks so much for being open to the changes.

I’ll have to take your word for it. I’m blind and use a screen reader, so the image thing doesn’t work out too well.

Ah thank you so very much, that would be great to have.

with that link it does say
“graphic Crowfall
4 out of 5 stars
Author: Ed McDonald”
but for some reason when I use stars on my site it is just the text “link”. It may need an alt tag or value as well. I’ve seen alt and value used quite a bit when dealing with browser based games and their accessible labeling of graphics. If there are stars in another location I don’t pick them up at all.

The main reason I wanted it, and there may be a better way. I just wanted to show a scoring system on a post. There is a written review, then a score for the bbook. Something even as easy as goodreads with just 0-5 stars would be okay, but the star system in this isn’t screen reader accessible. It just reads as a blank link for blind users. I liked the idea of having rating criteria like characters, plot, pacing and so on, but with the ability to insert that into a post somewhere. I feel like I have to be missing something somewhere. It may be there just not something I can pick up with a screen reader, I’m not sure. Is there an easy way to just show the reviewer’s rating for the book they are reviewing?

Either that or if there is a way to have a rank and rating part that can be added to a post which only shows the ratings, nothing else, just overall score then the ratings. like the below.

overall score: 4.8
plot: 5
characters 4.5
pacing 5

I thought that was the use for the scorr and star box, but I guess I am using them wrong.

In short I just want to display a reviewer’s score on a page in a way that blind people using a screen reader can also access and use.

I don’t want to use CSS as that is purely a visual fix, and it won’t effect any blind users using a screen reader…which I also am. In the below link it is just a tester post with the rating box at the bottom of the review. What I’m trying to do is get rid of the heading level 2 with the title and the excerpt paragraph under that which doesn’t fit into the post. If I just don’t put in an excerpt on review creation then it re enters the first paragraph of the review down there which is even more out of place.

I’ve looked everywhere for a way to exclude the title and the excerpt in the rating box but with no luck at all. If there is an option to show only box and nothing else that would be great, but i don’t think there is, or I’m just completely missing it.

I forgot to add, I would also have to edit the heading at the top of the rating box that relistst the title. In general I want to edit the rating box so it is only my ratings and nothing else.

thanks

Sorry, I figured this out with some trial and error. the post type attribute in the shortcode has to be post_type=’rcno_review, post’ and it will show all normal posts and all reviews. This plug in is amazing. Thanks, and sorry for the needless post.
