 * This plugin has given me errors and I’ve had to re-install my WordPress twice.
   I’ve tried activating the normal way… I even installed the Redux Framework login
   first, but it always displays me with an error and I can’t get it to work.
 * Help please.

 * Hi [@snikoggs](https://wordpress.org/support/users/snikoggs/), this is not an
   issue with the Rating System plugin, but with the theme you are using ‘Omega’.
 * They have a typo (or rather, search and replace error) in their code:
    [https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/omega/1.2.5/lib/extensions/class-tgm-plugin-activation.php#L1976](https://themes.trac.wordpress.org/browser/omega/1.2.5/lib/extensions/class-tgm-plugin-activation.php#L1976)
 * That line should read:
    `if ( ! function_exists( 'tgmpa' ) ) {`
 * As they incorrectly changed it, the function is being redefined causing that 
   error.
 * Please ask the theme author [@hwijaya](https://wordpress.org/support/users/hwijaya/)
   to fix this and also ask them to upgrade to the latest version of the TGMPA library(
   2.5.2) as they are using an outdated version which could give issues.

 * Hope this helps.
 * Smile,
    Juliette

 * Thank you Juliette! [Omega theme](https://themehall.com/omega) is being updated
   with the latest version of the TGMPA library. It will be available for public
   once approved.

 * Hi, again. So I’ve started playing around with this plugin and there seems to
   be a problem with the images of the voting up/down signs: they do not show on
   a laptop. They just show little square boxes, next to the numbers.
 * On a mobile, however, they show as should, but not on a computer.
