Hello, the plugins sounds very useful. What I did not find out while reading this page: Can I change the number of stars to max. 4 instead of the default 5-star-rating?
And can I leave out the whole user-voting-sections? I am far more interested in publishing my reviewer’s vote in my blog posts.
Thx
Hello!
1) This is not possible, YASR only support 5 stars rating system
2) Of course! You can just use yasr_overall_rating or yasr_multiset.
Best,
Dario
Dear,
I installed it and the plugin is well inserted into pages.
Nevertheless, stars are not shown…
Dis I miss somesthing ?
Thank you in advance

Hello!
What shortcode did you insert? Can you please post a link to the site?
Best,
Dario
Hi, thanks for the plugin, I bought the Pro version as I needed to customize the icon and it’s great. But I have a problem. I inserted the shortcode into a custom post type called “emprendedores”, and it has a custom loop layout on the home page. On each card in the loop you can see the ranking of each “emprendedor”, but I need to sort them by ranking and not by publication date. How could I do it? You can check it on my website: https://emprendeysorprende.cl
Hello!
You can create a page and insert into this the shortcode yasr_display_posts
You can customize the template so that you can insert your custom loop or simply the cards that you need. More info also here
I have a question, in the documentation it says that I must create a Yasr folder in the current theme since the design that uses the shortcode is the one that appears in the templates folder. Should I delete the templates folder? Sorry, if you can explain this step better. Thank you
You don’t need to delete anything, it work just like a child theme (https://developer.wordpress.org/themes/advanced-topics/child-themes/)
Can I display the rating under every post in a page with list of posts?
Hello, you can do this by customizing your child theme, and then print the shortcode with do_shortcode function.
IF you wish, I can do this as custom work, feel free to contact me at dario AT yetanotherstarsrating DOT com
Hi I want to display most rated post and it works, but I want to have a main photo of post wich display in/with the ranking, please help 🙂

hello. is there a way to include the site’s own rating in the future?
an option for site admins to set a rating for a post besides the general user ratings?
Hello Mark!
If I understood what you need, you’re looking for yasr overall rating! It is the first in the list, the rating is set by the post author and users can’t rate on that.
Best,
Dario
hi ,
I have a page with some photos and I want there to be a rating under each one, but for each one separately.
can this be done with the Plugin?
Hello!
It could be possible, but it is a tedious procedure.
YASR can be used to rate posts or pages, but it is not the best solution to rate multiple images in a same page.
Best,
Dario
Hi
I would like to know if the codes work in the sidebars

I currently use YASR for my team of coaches. They each have an individual about page where people can rate them for their services. I want to take that rating and post it on another page where I have all coaches laid out in one place. Can reviewers be able to vote about the same coach in two different places?
As an example – https://earlyadmit.com/coaches/
The above page is where we have all coaches appear. The yasr stars are not there, but I want them to be.
On this page – https://earlyadmit.com/coaches/about-ziad/
You can see one of our coaches with his rating. I want that rating to appear on the coaches pages and let people be able to rate there as well.
Hello!
Yes, yasr_visitor_votes works with the
postidparameter, so, if you want to show the rating from another page, just do something like thisyasr_visitor_votes postid=XXXXwhere XXXX is the post id of the coach.Hope this helps!
Hello,
Thanks for the input and the plugin.
Very helpful.

Hello Dario!

Hi,
Is there any chance to change settings somewhere to be able to use Enable stars next to the title properly ?
I have a very bad experience as this is added to title of comment section and not correctly interpretated or for my event details such as location records and so
giving something similar to this having title suffixed by code :
1 réflexion sur “Savage et G15 (1)”
Hello, unfortunately that setting it is not compatible with all the themes, and may conflict with some third party plugins.
I will put this warning for the next version

Hi Dario, thank you for the quick answer.
Here is our environment

Hello! I really like the plugin! Dario I have a question, is it possible to increase the stars for example 7 or 10 stars and not 5?
Hello!
This is not possible, it only support up to 5 stars for now.

Hello Dario,
I have seen that the Pro version of the plugin gives the possibility of adding false reviews to the posts.
I have two questions regarding this functionality.
1) If you manually set the number of votes and the rating, what happens to the actual votes obtained? Are they overwritten?
2) What happens to fake reviews if at some point I go back from the Pro version to the Free version again?
I hope this is the place to ask this. I have not found a contact form on the plugin website.
Thanks!!
Hello there,
I installed the YASR plugin three days ago. Since then, Google has already sent me an email twice indicating the following error:
———————————–
For the owner:
Search Console has detected 1 Product issues on your website:
Main errors
Errors can prevent your page or feature from appearing in search results. These errors have been found on your website:
Must specify “offers”, “review” or “aggregate rating”
—————————————
Can you tell me what to do? I like YASR and I don’t want to have to uninstall it.
Thanks
Hello!
I’m already aware of this problem, that happens when a shortcode is present but there are no votes.
The fix will be available for the next version, that will be released later this week.
In the meantime, you can just add a vote to make the error go away 😉

Hi. Links to the tutorial page from the descriptions are not working. Error 404.

Hi Dario,
In Classic Editor, once a yasr_overall_rating has been chosen at the box in the top-right of the screen of a post, it adds the reviewRating schema markup to the post . However, I cannot find how to delete it and stop using the yasr_overall_rating on that post. I am able to chose another rating amongst the stars, but I don’t know how to clear it.
If I don’t want to use the reviewRating anymore on that post, how can I delete the schema markup that YASR has added?
Thanks in advance,
Maria
Hello Maria,
you just need to delete the overall rating.
To do so, open “Yet Another Stars Rating -> Stats -> Overall Rating” and choose the one you want to delete.
If no overall rating is found, reviewRating will go away.
Best,
Dario
Hello, I have a question.
I bought a different rating plugin some time back from Codecanyon, however they stopped developing and I would like to buy YASR. If I buy the pro version, would you be able to help me move from that rating system to this one? Is there any way to transfer over the old ratings for each post?
Thank you!
Hello, please contact me to dario AT yetanotherstarsrating DOT com

Hello,
Thank you for this great plugin
I just have a problem, in my home page I want to show only the star rating in the recent posts widget But in the single post page I want to show more rating details like rating count.
How can I reach that?
Hello!
This is not possible with the standard settings that comes the plugin, but if you wish I can do this as custom work, feel free to contact me at dario AT yetanotherstarsrating DOT com.
Best,

Hi Dario,
first of all: YASR is a really great plugin!
But please let me ask one question: Do I have to use a variable (something like %average%) with the “You’ve already voted with” entry? If I do so, I deleted it accidentally.
Or does this work otherwise? By the way: All my users are logged in.
Thanks in advance!
Hello!
In that text you can’t use the %average% variable, you can do something like You have already voted this article
Or just set to “no” the “Insert custom text to show before / after stars” and the entry “You’ve already voted with ” will show the rating again.
Best,
Dario
In the next version (2.6.6) it will be possible to add the %rating% pattern into that field.
Best,
Dario
Hi Dario!
I wonder if there is a possibility of choosing what pages you want to show the rating stars?
I mean, I would like to show the stars in my main pages, but not in contact or legal advices… So, can I choose what page to show up?
Thank you so much in advance!!
With auto insert feature, no.
But in this case is simple, just disable auto insert for pages and place the shortcode manually in the page where you want to show it.
Best,
Dario
We have some 2000 pages/posts, but we don’t want to show it in contact/about-us.
Adding it manually to 1998 pages is a bit of a problem 🙂
Perhaps there could be an easy “exclude posts/pages” where you just add commaseparated ID for the ones to exclude it from of the auto-insert feature?
Hello, it is pretty simple!
In the page where you don’t want to use auto insert, you can exclude it in the editor, see this screenshot https://snipboard.io/XOLJC8.jpg

Dario
Hello!
First of all, thank you so much for your plugin and dedication, it’s very nice!
I’ve installed it into my website, but the stars don’t appear (they are in blank! You can put the mouse over and even vote, but no stars are shown at the end of the posts…)
You can see it on my posts, for example on “Goldfish Comun”. I would like to know how to solve this problem and let the plugin show the stars.
Thank you so much in advance!!!
Looking forward to see your response.
Hello!
Seems like there is a conflict somewhere: can you please to disable and enable again your plugins 1 by 1?
Best,
Dario
Hi Dario! Thanks for your answer.
Already did it! and problem remains,. I’ve disabled every pluguin 1 by 1 while refreshing my post page, and no star was shown.
What could it be?
Thanks in advance!
Can you try to select “yes” to “Load results with AJAX” ?
It was a problem of my theme “Orbital Theme”. I disabled ” Fix render blocking css” from my theme and it works fine!!
Thank you so much!
Great, thank you for sharing this!
Is it possible for a visitor to change their vote after they voted? Thank you!

Yes, a logged in user can always update the vote.

Hi. I want to know if you can help me set YASR up on a website to give doctors star rankings and have those star rankings show on Google for each doctor?
We manually add the star ratings for each doctor. For example, we may enter 4.8 out of 5 stars, then that should be show in star icons on the doctors page and his google review.
Let me know if this is possible.
Hi!
Yes, it is possible, but I don’t I don’t know which itemtype you should use: you can find more info here https://stackoverflow.com/questions/29328882/it-is-possible-to-review-a-person-with-structured-data
Hi, very nice work! (y) Two things I want to ask:
– Include pages is a nice feature, but could you add a new feature to exclude the homepage?
I think nobody needs a ranking on the first page 😉
– I’ve changed the settings in “Userdefined text” as follows:
— Custom text to display BEFORE Visitor Rating = empty
— Custom text to display AFTER Visitor Rating = in german language
— This line is self-CSSed 😉
— If someone clicks some stars the AFTER text appears with your deafult text in your default CSS
— After browser refresh everything works fine like setted up
It would be great if you correct this issues or say to me what I’m doing wrong.
Thanks. ABGE
Sorry for the late, I will check this 🙂

Hello, I love this plugin and I have installed it on my blog. However, I can’t seem to find an option to import data from GD Rating System plugin which is the plugin I was using before. I really wouldn’t like to lose all the ratings my posts already have. Can you help me please? Thanks!
Hello!
At least for now YASR can import data from these plugins:
To be honest, I don’t know if I will ever develop this feature, since the plugin is not very popular.
Eventually, I can consider to do this as a custom work.
Best,
Dario
Hello, is it possible to add a feature to your plugin to avoid self rating?
We have purchased your plugin but my client don’t want users to rate his own post. How much/how long will it be if it is possible?
Thanks!!
Hi,
I love this plugin, working like a charm without messing up other plugins. Only 1 thing if i cloud do that would be awesome, if i could change the color of the stars from yellow to red. My theme color is red. Can i change yellow starts to red starts in free version?
Hello Daniel!
In free vesions thare are 3 different stars styles to choose, but there is no one red.
In that case you’ve to go to pro version (you can test it using the trial, it is the second one)

Hello,
I need to change column width on ranking. We have inserted two columns ranking shortcode on a text box with 1600px width, but table is narrower than the box, os we want to make first column wider. How can we do that?
You can check it here using user support and pass EDIT
EDIT
Thanks
Hello,
These are the classes used by that ranking:
yasr-table-chart AND yasr-pro-most-highest-table are the containers
yasr-top-10-most-highest-left is the class for the left column, defualt width is 50%
yasr-top-10-most-highest-right is the class for the right column, default with is 50%
I see you’ve already changed the width in your page, left is 75%, maybe I read this comment later your customizations?
Can I use auto insert rating in all posts by default and shortcodes to place in different positions in the post at the same time?
You can use auto insert feature only for yasr_visitor_votes and yasr_overall_rating shortcode.
If you need to auto insert something else, you can insert the shortcode in a child theme
Amazing plugin, thanks!
Is there a way to disable YASR Rich Snipped except stars? That way i could use another rich snipped plugin like Rank Math, which has more fields available.

Hi Dario
Is it possible to auto insert at the end of the “Short Description” instead of the “Product Description”? Would save me entering many shortcodes a product at a time. Cheers!
Hi!
Not sure what you mean for short description and product description (I guess you’re using woocommerce? ) but you can insert the shortcode directly in your template with do_shortcode function.
Best,
Dario
Hi Dario, Thanks for your reply. I have successfully inserted the shortcode into my theme functions which seems to have solved my problem. The issue I have now is that my aggregateRating is not being generated in the source. I Have looked for the option in General settings to select this as the rich snippet type but it is not there? Google’s Cache shows the stars but they aren’t in the search results. I must be missing something as a lot of Schema data is already being produced but not the AggregateRating. Thanks in advance
I’m not sure what you mean for google’s cache, but I’ve tested one of your links here https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/?hl=it#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rickysounds.co.uk%2Fproduct%2F4003s-fg%2F and everything is fine.
Just a double “product” entry generate by woocommerce, but I don’t think this is a problem. eventually you can disable rich snippets generated by woocommerce.
Best,
Dario
Hi Dario,
Thank you for your response. I can see the aggregateRating data in the page you have tested, thats great, but see this page https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rickysounds.co.uk%2Fproduct%2F03572-tv-knobs-x-5%2F It has stars but gives 4 warnings including the missing aggregateRating and only 1 set of product Schema values. Thanks
That’s because you selected “is this a review” in the rich snippet options box for that post or page.
You can fine more info here https://yetanotherstarsrating.com/docs/rich-snippet/reviewrating-and-aggregaterating/
Hi Dario,
I haven’t selected “This is a review” thats the thing I don’t understand, See these page results
https://search.google.com/structured-data/testing-tool/u/0/#url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.rickysounds.co.uk%2Fproduct%2Frickysounds-wider-spaced-12-string-nut-brass%2F
This page is set to “Is this a Review?” = “NO” yet the aggregatereview is still missing. Do you think I could have a clash with another plugin?
Hello,
I’m looking for a post rating plugin and I it seems YASR fits what I need. Just a few questions:
– We want rating to be displayed on post list on blog page.
– We need to create a ranking with a list of top rated posts sorted by score displaying on top the best (more stars) post.
Thanks!!
Hello, both things are possible: about the second one, look here https://yetanotherstarsrating.com/yasr-rankings/

I’ve used yasr_pro_visitor_votes_chart shortcode but no posts are displayed. I only get the message “not enough data to display” (in spanish, so I don’t know the message in english). We have 10 rated posts, what am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Sorry, I see it has to be rated twice to be on the list. Is there anyway (other shortcode, pro version, etc) posts with only one rating appears there?
Thanks
This is possible in the pro version, selecting “1” to Number of minimum votes for most rated page and Number of minimum votes for highest rated page
Hi!
Now I’ve purchased pro version but I don’t know how to do that. Is that adding shortcode properties?
Thanks!!
Hello!
Just go in the settings and click on “rankings” tab.

Hi. I’m trying your plugin and looks good. The thing is I have pages fo courses and sales pages that are done with the profit builder sistem. Tehn I saw that the rating plugin don’t appear in that pages. Could appear if I insert a code html. Can you help me? Other thing is I would like to insert the html of the plugin so my students can rate the classes and that rating could appear on the sales page. Is possible to do with your plugin? Thanks very much
Hi, I can’t test with that plugin since is a paid one: you’ve to insert the YASR shortcode as a simple text, just like this
Best,
Dario
Great plugin!
I still have a question:
Is there a way to order posts in the archive page by visitor votes? I haven’t managed to find the meta value name of the visitor votes, just the overall rating.
Hello!
The visitor votes are stored 1 by 1 in the yasr_log table, to calculate the average of the single post the function YasrDatabaseRatings::getVisitorVotes($post_id) is used.
Best,
Dario
Hi. I checked out the plugin. Nice one. But what I don’t get is (in the free version) how to show at the top of an article how the average voting was. Before I used a plugin that allows this details (but it did not support structured data).
Hello!
I’m sot sure, do you mean the stats near the stars?
Great plugin!
Hi Dario,
excellent plugin. I have a question though. Is ti possible to add multiple visitor votes in one single post? Here is a example post: http://pohorjebouldering.grta-studio.com/2019/12/29/blok-4/
I tried to insert multiple shortcodes
Thank you!
Rok
Hello!
That is because the shortcode is related to the post.
If you want to show aother rating, you’ve to use the postid parameter.

Hello, I’m using the Visitor Votes Read Only shortcode in post excerpts. It was working before, but at some point the “readonly” code has stopped working. If I include readonly=”yes” the stars no longer appear. If I remove that part of the shortcode, the stars do appear, but are now clickable. I’m using this:
Hello!
Thank you for sharing this.
I will release a fix tomorrow.

Thank you so much! It’s working again.
Ciao, ti ho contattato dal tuo sito personale e mi sono accorto subito dopo dell’avviso che non potevo chiedere info circa il plugin. In ogni modo scrivo anche quì la mia perplessità. Il plugin YASR permette di votare tranquillamente ma noto che non è possibile rivotare lo stesso articolo subito dopo. C’è qualche regola che vincola la votazione nella versione free? Oppure lo stesso utente può rivotare lo stesso articolo dopo un preciso lasso di tempo? Grazie in anticipo
Hi, I contacted you from your personal site and I realized immediately after the notice that I could not ask for info about the plugin. Anyway I also write here my perplexity. The YASR plugin allows you to vote quietly but I know that it is not possible to vote the same article immediately after. Is there any rule that constrains the vote in the free version? Or can the same user revoke the same article after a specific period of time? Thanks in advance
Hi,
Allowing the same person to vote the same article it’s a non sense; that’s why a cookie is set after the a rating is saved.
Best,
Dario
Dario, I have another question. I need to show the star at the same line with the text.
Example: Here is my text ***** and the text after stars.
But I have like this:
Here is my text
*****
and the text after stars.
I coud not to find where to change css.
Thank you.
If you’re using yasr_visitor_votes, the css class to use is yasr-visitor-votes; if you can provide me a link I can help you better with this.
Best,
Dario
I want to change this default text =>
“You’ve already voted this article with 4.0”
Mine is not article, so I want to put specific word in that. Is there any attribute for shortcode to use custom text?
Hello!
You can do this in Yasr Settings -> Insert custom text to show before / after stars -> Custom text to display AFTER Visitor Rating
Best,
Dario
Hello. Thanks a lot for the plugin. I need to have several ratings at the same page. And all of them must be clecable. In this case I am using shortcode
Thank you Dario.
Hello John!
A cookie is set when an user rate for a certain post or page (based on postid)
There is no check on the IP, because many different users can use the same IP.
That funcion only save the IP (but is not GDPR compilant)
If your browser doesn’t accept the cookies, you can rate any time you want.

Hello,
I’m interested in buying the Yasr Pro Lifetime Plan. Do you have an email address where I could send some pre sale questions?
Thank you very much in advance.

Hello, first of all, thanks for your wonderful plugin.
For now we don’t need the pro as we have very small website so it doesn’t make any sense to spend that amount of money for just 1 thing we need: change the color of the stars of the voting into red.
We tried anything with CSS but couldn’t find any solution. How can we achieve that?
Thanks a lot for any suggestion
Kind regards
Hi!
I’ve just sent you an email.
How to add Yasr rating inside archive page? so all post will show their average.
Actually the stars are showing but it does not show the ratings.. or I mean how much people rate that post .
Hi!
Seems like there ia a caching issue:
Do you use some kind of caching plugin?
Hey,
I noticed that aggregateRating is missing in the JSon-LD
Also no matter what I select (product, moive, etc) only BlogPosting is added (if that’s important for getting the visitor ratings shown in google at all)
Don’t know if I did anything wrong? But really tried every setting. Although I really like YASR as my favorite plugin, I gave up and installed another one in order to get the rating shown in google again 🙁 So if its a bug or something, it would be great if you could fix that with the next update and I’ll be back 🙂
Thx
Sorry, comment edited; I just quoted the wrong one:
If you need aggregateRating, I guess you’re using yasr_visitor_votes shortcode, that’s correct?
Do you have a link to the site?
Hello Dario,
See if you can help me, today I have the standard woocommerce ratings, (native) I installed the YET plugin, enabled it, but it does not have any existing rating, the stars are all gray, there is some way to make it read Does this information already exist and appear on the screen?
Hi!
If you need to import the data from woocommerce, YASR doesn’t have such feature (at least, not yet)
Hello,
Is it possible to add next to Overall Rating Stars also a number that I rated?
For example, if I give 4.7 stars, that “4.7” is next to stars in post?
Thank you very much.
Hi!
Yes, it is!
In the Yasr Settings, enable “Insert custom text to show before / after stars” and in the first field, insert this %overall_rating%
Best,
Dario
Hi there
I have a writer’s website where writers post there writing and get reviews from other writers/members. I’d like to know how I can show the rating next to or above each review so that the post author knows how many stars were given for their work and by which reviewer.
Cheers
I am still waiting for a reply. Why is that? It has been 7 days now since I wrote my question.
Sorry for the delay, I haven’t be able to work this week.
I’m not sure about your problem: where exactly you want to show the rating?
Can you provide a link?
Hi
I just need the stars to appear next to or under the name of each and every review. Exactly as it appears on WordPress.org where I left the 5-star review last time a few weeks ago.
Thanks for your help and your email
Sorry, here’s the link to the site.
https://thewritersite.world/
I’ve looked your site around for a while, but I still not sure where you want to show the stars and which shortcode;
Do you mean in a post like this? https://thewritersite.world/the-hedgerow-gang-save-christmas/
If so, wich rating do you want to show? yasr_visitor_votes ?
Yes, the first review that you see, in that post, (written by me) with the stars attached to the individual review. You’ll notice that the reviews underneath don’t have ratings/stars attached to them. With yasr I only got the average/total ratings. What I need is the average/total plus the rating from each reviewer.
For example…
What we get now is…
Total/average *****
Comment by Walu Feral
Very nice poem.
What I need is…
Total/average *****
Comment by Walu Feral
*****
Very nice poem.
Hope that makes it more clear.
But that plugin is not YASR…
I have deactivated it until we sort this out. My members who pay to post on the site demand it.
I left you a 5 star rating a couple of weeks ago are don’t you remember?
I guess you want this https://yetanotherstarsrating.com/yasr-pro/reviews-in-comments/ (take a look to the comment form).
That feature is in the pro version of the plugin
Sorry, honestly no, I got a lot of email each day.
Thank you again 🙂
Thank you.
Hello,
where can I find the html code of the plugin to insert it into a file at the comment section?
Thank you !
Hi!
Or whatever your shorcode is.
Please note that this works only on template files
Hello,
I would like to insert the YASR plugin into my site via the HTML code because I can not use the shortcode here.
What are the lines of code to insert please?
I can not find the information anywhere.
Thank you !
Hi!
Or whatever your shorcode is.
Please note that this works only on template files
I’m trying to vote on a website but I can’t click on it. What should I do? I am using a WordPress plugin.
Hi!
Can you please share a link where Yasr is installed?
I can’t find in your site, I don’t know what language is that 😀
Hi! Great plugin. I tried to access the FAQ and the tutorials pages, but both seems to load and don’t show any content. So I have two questions:
1 – Can I show the number of total votes from a specific category in a custom post type? We use your plugin last year with same configuration, but only for a month. But now they want to show the total number of votes in the front page.
2 – Can I show more than 30 rows in “Overall Rating Ranking” shortcode?
Thank’s!
Hello!
Thank you, I’ve fixed that pages!
1) I guess near yasr_visitor_votes ?
No, but I can do this as a custom work.
2) Just like ansert 1.
Best,
Dario
After the upgrade, I can’t use YASR PRO. My website show the message “My site is experiencing a technical problem”. So I deactivated the PRO version and Im using the free version for now. What can I do? Could you help me, please?
Can you please show me the email WordPress sent to you?
Can you please try to download the premium plugin again and let me know?
This should be fixed now
Works fine now! Thank’s!
Can you please consider rate Yasr 5 stars on WordPress.org? IT’s an huge help for me!
Hi Dario,
That seems to be a great plugin ! Unfortunately it doesn’t work for me after 2 hours testing.
I am working with Elementor Pro, maybe it is the cause of the issue…
1. For checking purpose, when I try to click on a star as a guest, there is not possibility to do so… The click doesn’t seem to work…
I inserted the shortcode via Elementors widget, tried also with the text editor widget, as well as gutenberg shortcode widget. any of the 3 work well.
2. I would also like to center the stars in the middle of the page. So I added a custom Css in the plugin styling section.
.yasr_table_multi_set_shortcode tr td {
text-align: center;
}
It didn’t work. So I tried also in Elementor custom css section for the widget and it didn’t work either.
Hello, thank you for usin Yasr!
Do you have a link to the site?
Hy Dario, thanks for your anwser,
Update :
1. Sorry for this it works fine now. It was a caching issue.
2. I still can’t center the text.
Here is a link to a page where the shortcode is inserted : https://tristan29photography.com/colombia-photographers/
You will find the shortcode at the end of the article. In this shortcode , the custom CSS is inserted via the “Aspect & Style” tab in wp-admin
In advance many thanks.
*Shortcodes*
Can you please create a page with all of your shortcodes laid out one after the other clearly? As a new customer, I find this page almost impossible to understand, sorry.
For example, what is the shortcode for “Visitor Votes Read Only”? Can you please reply with the exact shortcode? I have tried following your instructions, but they are vague.
The tutorials page is also not working: https://yetanotherstarsrating.com/tutorials/
Thanks for your help,
Ryan
Hi Ryan.
A page with all the shortcodes is in progress.
Keep in mind that you don’t need to know all the shortcodes: if you’re using the classic editor, just click on the star above the textarea, you can build your shortcode there.
If you’re using gutenberg, just add the block.
To answer your question, just use this [ yasr_visitor_votes_readonly ] OR
Best,
Dario
Hello! Add a shortcode ”yasr_visitor_votes” to my slides Everything is fine on a PC, but it hangs on the phone. Even on an emulator in chrome hangs. Help!)

Stars under the first slide ..)
Pretty strange: can you please try to disable your plugins one by one and let me know?
It seems that such an error only occurs inside Smart Slider 3. I was hoping that a message from the console would tell you.
“yasr-front.js?ver=2.0.3:213 Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property ‘toFixed’ of undefined
at Object.rateCallback (yasr-front.js?ver=2.0.3:213)

Anyway, thanks for the help. You made a good plugin!)
This plugin schema supported?
Yes!
You can find more info here https://yetanotherstarsrating.com/yasr-rich-snippets/
how can we use this short code? [yasr_visitor_shortcode]

Hi, i can not find where to input the author rating or the + sign to add the meta box. Im using the latest version of wordpress.
Hi!
Are you using the default editor or the classic one?
Hi there
I like the plugin but, the stars and text appear right below the end of the post… almost like the text “Click on a star to give a rating,” is part of the poem or story. Is there a way I can move it down the page about an inch or so? So that it looks separate the posting?
Hi!
Of course is possible 🙂
In the Yasr Settings, open the tab “Aspect and Style” and in the “Custom CSS Styles” textarea add this code:
.yasr-visitor-votes {margin-top: 20px;
}
Change 20 with the value that you need.
Best,
Dario
Thank you very much, Dario
It worked perfectly and looks great now. You are very efficient and so is your product. Congrats and thanks again.
Thank you so much!
If you don’t mind, can you please consider to rate YASR 5 stars on WordPress.org?
Thank you!
Will do, amigo, you deserve it and so does your great plugin.
I want to rate By author but I would like to add one more star
it it posssible to change from 5 stars to 6 stars rating ?

Do You stay in Italy ?
Hi,
no, YASR works only with 1-5 rating grade.
Yes I’m in Italy.

Hi,
is it possible to show the statistics of a review on a new line/paragraph (&nsbp) ? Currently it shows directly after the stars, I think it would look nicer on a new line.
Is it also possible to load the rating of a post as a custom field or with a shortcode?
Hi,
I suggest to trasform the container span into a div, I’ve created a gist on github: https://gist.github.com/Dudo1985/931af25f296b84797c02068e7cd9760d
You can use that file and upload with FTP in the /lib directory of the plugin, and overwrite when asked.
Best,
Dario
Ciao! Non compaiono le stelline nello snippet. Come fare? Grazie mille 🙂

Ok, grazie mille! 🙂 Altra domanda.. come mai su alcuni articoli mi da la possibilità di votare e su altre invece no?
Buongiorno. Ho installato YASR da due settimane e seguito la guida, ma ancora non compaiono le stelle nei risultati di google.
Hello there
I just want to see the votes cast by the visitors as stars. Could you share the code with it?
Hi,[Total: 93 Average: 4.1]
if you don’t use auto insert, just paste this shortcode
Best,
Dario
Hi There.
This shortcode works on the single pages but its not working on Category pages (for example product category page in woocommerce) . why is that?
Hi, did you enabled “Show “Visitor Votes” in Archive Page?” and “Show “Overall Rating” in Archive Page”?
Hi again.
I finally managed to put the rating star into Archive page with shortcode.
the tiny problem is, its showing the stars with Big font size, although I chose the Medium size.
How can I change the size of stars with CSS??
I installed the plugin, but how do people review my posts other than at the bottom of the page. Isn’t there a quick way to give someone a star rating
Hi, of course!
Just add the shortcode
Best,
Dario
Hi. Nice plugin .. Just a quick question .. is there any way to add it by shortcode? I mean in my web i want to use in the homepage as well … but it shows on the left side down on the footer and makes the design ugly … Any idea? Best Regards
Hi! Of course it is possible! 🙂
Take a look here https://yetanotherstarsrating.com/f-a-q/

Can a shortcode start inline with a previous text or have text after? I have a two ranking system, and want to put the stars before or after the previous 100-point system. But it always goes to the next line, no matter how I edit the HTML.
Hi Pablo, of course is possible 😉
You can do it by placing the shortcode manually or even when auto insert is enabled.
Best,
Dario
Nice PlugIn! 🙂
Is it somehow possible to let visitors add a shot comment on their review?
Hi, thank you!
This is possible with the pro version, take a look here https://yetanotherstarsrating.com/yasr-pro/reviews-in-comments/
Thanks for the help! 😀
You’re welcome 🙂
