Can guests vote or only registered users?

You can configure the plugin for either option. Guest voting uses IP-based tracking to prevent duplicate votes, while registered-user voting ties votes to user accounts for more reliable tracking.

How are duplicate votes prevented?

The plugin uses cookie and IP-based tracking for guest votes, and account-based tracking for logged-in users. This prevents the same visitor from voting multiple times on the same content.

Can I sort posts by vote count?

Yes, the plugin enables vote-based sorting for archive pages and category listings. This lets you display content ordered by popularity based on community votes.

Where do vote buttons appear?

Vote buttons are typically displayed alongside post content. The exact placement can be configured, and the buttons can be positioned before or after post content.

Does it work with custom post types?

Yes, you can enable voting on standard posts and pages as well as custom post types. This makes it flexible for various content types that benefit from community rating.
