Good plugin
I highly recommend installing this plugin. It's one of the best ranking plugins. It's lightweight and doesn't slow down your site. Excellent, professional technical support. Issues are resolved quickly.

Adds Font on every page
I need to modify class-rate-post-public.php every time this plugin updates because it adds the preload font on every page, that's not necessary.

Previously useful plugin, but now buggy and with very poor support.
The plugin only works randomly on my pages. Sometimes visitors can vote, and sometimes they can't; it's blocked. I asked for help from the free support service but didn't receive a response. Since you now have to purchase the pro version when you have post types, I asked for help from the paid support service but still didn't receive a solution. Don't pay for this plugin thinking that it will solve your problems! It seems that it has been bought by people who want to make money but know nothing about programming. Since the problem is random, I can't give a page address with the problem; you have to browse through 3 or 4 articles to see it. But they said they looked at three pages and don't see any problem. Sure they lie because they can't resolve it. Similarly, before I understood that the disappearance of votes on post types was due to their update, I asked for help from support and didn't get a response. I spent a lot of time looking for a solution, and they could have simply told me that the free version no longer supported post types.

Lots of errors when installing
Notice: Function _load_textdomain_just_in_time was called incorrectly. Translation loading for the rate-my-post domain was triggered too early. This is usually an indicator for some code in the plugin or theme running too early. Translations should be loaded at the init action or later. Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 6.7.0.) in /var/www/html/wp-includes/functions.php on line 6121 WordPress database error: [Can't DROP INDEX id; check that it exists]ALTER TABLE wp_rmp_analytics DROP INDEX id WordPress database error: [Can't DROP INDEX id; check that it exists]ALTER TABLE wp_rmp_analytics DROP INDEX id

Sort does not show highest rating first
The widget should sort by the highest rating, but it sorts only by the number of ratings. Five years ago this was posted: https: wordpress org/support/topic/sort-custom-post-type-on-average-rating/ [stupid wordpress does not allow links....]I am not savvy enough to implement it. I think many users would like to have more control over the way the highest rating is displayed.Is this going to be implemented in the (near) future?
