A very useful and beautifully written plugin providing user-rankings based on posts and comments. User have the ability to view statistical ratings of their posts. The posts are rated through the comments-count. A user will be given an overall rating which is based on the sum of the individual post-ratings. The overall user rating will be shown in the admin-navigation-menu. Optionally the user rating can be shown everywhere for every user at your website / blog through a shortcode-feature. In addition a user-ranking leaderboard is also provided for all users.
- Upload the folder 'wstats-plugin' to the
/wp-content/plugins/ directory
- Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress
- Optional: Place the following code-snippet in your content.php file:
We recommend to insert it like that to your content.php file:
', '' ); ?>
if you set "return_by_echo = 0", then only the current rating will be returned and echoed (you can design the output yourself). "return_by_echo = 1" will echo the rating with our pre-made style.
