WP-PostRatings - how to make rating show up?

Question

I have Boldy theme on a 3.2.1 instance of Wordpress.

I have installed the plugin WP-PostRatings.

I want it to show up on my individual posts when posts are viewed individually on a page.

• I installed and activated the plugin.
• I added
  if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?>
  within my single.php file, as shown in pastebin.

However, nothing is happening with my blog posts when viewed as single pages.

Have I put the code in the wrong place/file?

Answer 1

few things you can check

1. the code is within the loop
2. the plugin is activated
3. check plugin option page and select a rating type
4. check page source code and see what is being generated.
5. if all ok. your css is not blocking any rating star tag.
6. de-activate, uninstall, delete and re-install the plugin

Answer 2

ok some more thoughts. do you have

<?php wp_footer(); ?>

in your theme's footer.php

do you have any lightbox plugin installed?

deactivate all plugins except rating, then does it work?
