Yes, it does work in WP 3

Sorry for the late reply.

Once you have installed and activated the plug-in, you need to place the following code in your theme template where you want it to appear.

< ?php CR_show_voting_stars(); ?>

You can get as crazy as you want with it. In my example, I only want it on posts (not in pages) so I have placed the code on the ‘Main Index Template (index.php)’ of my template. The code looks like this:

< ?php the_content('Read More'); ?>
< ?php
$posttags = get_the_tags();
if ($posttags) {
foreach($posttags as $tag) {
$showStars=$tag->name;
if ($showStars == 'contestant-rating') {
CR_show_voting_stars();
//CR_bests_of_month();
CR_bests_of_moment();
}
}
}
?>

I am not exactly sure I understand the issue. I think what you are saying is that you see the ratings and then once you vote it stops working?

The plugin uses a cookie (and currently the cookie is set to some absurd amount of time like one year) to track votes. You can manually change this by editing the cr.class.php file.

If you look at the bottom of that file, there is a line of code
setcookie('wp_cr', $this->_user, time()+60*60*24*365, '/');
where time()+60*60*24*365 sets cookie to one year (60 seconds * 60 minutes * 24 hours * 365 days).

If you want to limit the votes to once per evert 5 minutes you could replace that line with something like this
setcookie('wp_cr', $this->_user, time()+60*5, '/');

If I am incorrect about this, please try to give me a specific example or url.

I am working on a large change to the plugin at this time which will not require template changes, will allow you to setup cookie expiration times, etc.

Hope that helps.

Thank you Gary. The data is stored in the WordPress database in two tables wp_fsr_post and wp_fsr_user (assuming you’re using the default wp_ prefix to tables). You will need to manually delete or reset the results in the database.

Ah, but it does work! Although this plug-in is not being developed anymore (replaced with the Five Star Rating WordPress Plugin), we know this works even if someone is not registered. Try using Five Star Rating Plugin and if you have problems, use the FSR FAQ to resolve your issue.
