tinyRatings

Description

tinyRatings is a fresh take on post ratings. It offers you simple rating styles – Like, Like/Dislike and the very traditional 5 stars rating. It takes advantage of the Rest API and the Dashicons font to deliver you fast, modern looking interface. Votes can be logged based on browser fingerprint (via FingerprintJS2 library), visitor’s IP address, user id for logged in users.

Unlike other similar plugins tinyRatings is not limited to posts, pages and custom post types. You can also insert ratings for categories, tags, other taxonomy terms and event for different sections in the post. Developers will find action and filter hooks that will allow them to use tinyRatings in pretty much any scenario.
