Gr8, almost perfect !!! How can I ...
Hello, your plugin is gr8, almost perfect. Is there any chance to pick different image in different pages ?? For example: one page i have hearts second page i have thumbs third page i have stars fout page i dont want to have rating I managed to change the position to put it into my widget. The ansewer was in internet. For those who need this: put this into yourtheme/function.php <?php add_shortcode( 'vote', 'vote_custom_ratings' ); function vote_custom_ratings() { $return_text = ''; if ( class_exists( 'Custom_Ratings_Public' ) ) { $return_text .= Custom_Ratings_Public::vote(); } return $return_text; } ?> then put [vote] where you want it on page or widget. (Make sure to set the Vote Display Position to None in the Custom Ratings Settings).

Great plugin for what my client required
Just wanted to say this plugin worked perfectly when my client wanted a custom rating image for their site. There was a conflict with the latest Wordpress update and uploading images to posts, I alerted the plugin makers and they fixed the conflict with the next plugin update and wrote back to inform me so I was very pleased with their support.

Nice Plugin
Nice plugin but the images are way to large, couldn't find a way to reduce them.
