I needed a simple and light plugin to add Thumbs Rating, I couldn’t find any so I built my own.

This plugin allows you to add a thumb up/down rating to your content (posts, pages, and custom post types). You can set it up to show anywhere you want, check out the Installation instructions.

The output is very basic, no images, no fonts, no fancy CSS. Customize the ouput overriding the CSS classes in your style.css file.

Features

  • No output printed by default, check the Installation instructions.
  • Stores the votes values for each content in the current post table (no new database tables are created).
  • Uses HTML5 LocalStorage to prevent the users from voting twice.
  • Easy to customize the output using CSS.
  • Show the most voted (positive/negative) items using shortcodes.
  • Show the buttons using shortcodes.
  • No jQuery dependency.

Internet Explorer 11 support

If you want the plugin to work with IE11 users, you need jQuery. For that use the 3.4.2 version of the plugin.

From 4.0.0 onwards the plugin has no dependencies and uses vanilla JavaScript (ES6 syntax). Which will cause it not to work for IE11 users.
