 * This plugin works fine on my desktop. But when I install it in hosted environment
   with ssl it does not. I get the stars and am on a “single” page rendering, and
   the stars follow the mouse. But when I click on the stars to rate the post nothing
   happens. I continue to move the mouse and see the stars build and recede as before.
   I have placed some debug code into admin_ajax.php on
    my desktop system and in
   the hosted system that dumps “$_POST” and ‘$_REQUIRE’ to the “error_log’. That
   produces output on the desktop but not on the hosted system. Perhaps it is the
   ssl stuff causing the problem, I know not. I am not a “javascript” person. I 
   have looked at the loaded stuff using “firebug” but don’t claim to understand
   it. The site is [https://tacomatest2.us](https://tacomatest2.us). It is a test
   system only and no proprietary stuff at all. If it is blown to smithereens it
   is no great loss. Please try it as username “fixit” and pasword “mouses”. See
   if you can tell me why it doesn’t hook up to the admin_ajax and thence to your
   code.
 * If I detect a bunch of malicious activity I will delete the account. But for 
   now you can demo the problem to yourself.

 * Your admin ajax returns some HelloWorld array which shouldn’t be there instead
   of response from plugin.

 * Wow!! Thanx for the fast response… The code I had in admin ajax was:
 * function my_error_dump ($name, $var) {
    ob_start(); var_dump($var); $result =“
   $name ” . ob_get_clean(); error_log($result); } my_error_dump(“POST = “, $_POST);
   my_error_dump(“REQUEST = “, $_REQUEST);
 * echo “Hello World”;
    var_dump($_SERVER);
 * I have removed the last 2 lines so no more output to browser. I am not conversant
   with jquery and javascript and so cannot debug in the browser. I really want 
   this plugin to work, but I can’t seem to figure out why it doesn’t. From what
   you say the admin ajax code is being entered (you get the hello world in the 
   browser) yet I see no output in the error log. Weird.
 * Table spr_votes is still empty so it would appear that admin ajax is not connecting
   with “function spr_rate()”. I am surprised that you got the “Hello World”. That
   says that the browser is, in fact, issuing something to the server.

 * Check your php error log. admin-ajax now replies with 500 internal error. you
   broke something in there with your last edits.

 * Major progress has been made!!! I know not why my php.ini settings for redirecting
   error output to public_html/error_log are not operating in the case of the admin-
   ajax.php file, but they aren’t. As you said, THE system logs show the proper 
   contents for $_POST and $_REQUEST now and I am doing a happy dance about being
   able to see stuff. I should be able to find the problem from this point. I appreciate
   your help on this and I will post more when I find out more.
 * Current condition is that the database is updated but the on-screen display shows
   no indication of the rating being updated. When I do a refresh, I see the vote
   as tallied and I am unable to vote again. I assume we are returning some sort
   of error in the “jason” stuff. I will check it out and report back.

 * I put some debug stuff (calls to error_log) in function spr_rate with the following
   results showing up in the system logs but not in my error log file:
 * [14-May-2014 01:59:31 UTC] entry into ‘spr_rate’
    [14-May-2014 01:59:31 UTC] 
   spr_rate – User is logged in [14-May-2014 01:59:31 UTC] spr_rate – post exists[
   14-May-2014 01:59:31 UTC] spr_rate – user hasn’t voted yet [14-May-2014 01:59:
   31 UTC] spr_rate – making new spr_raing entry [14-May-2014 01:59:31 UTC] spr_rate–
   responding through jason with new rating and show_voted
 * That last output is right before line of code that says:
 *     ```
       $response=json_encode(array('status'=>1, 'html'=>$html))
       ```
   
 * should have sent the good stuff to the browser and the browser should have acted
   on it I think.

 * It’s not updated because you got some debug output which shouldn’t be there. 
   Just replace plugin files with original once and it will work.
    This is output
   you got before actual output by plugin
 *     ```
       array(3) {
         ["post_id"]=>
         string(1) "1"
         ["points"]=>
         string(1) "9"
         ["action"]=>
         string(8) "spr_rate"
       }
       entry into 'spr_rate'
       ```

 * All debugging stuff removed and the plugin works just fine. There is still something
   wrong on this server in how the hosting service handles “error_log”, but that
   is not any problem with the plugin. Thanx for helping me figure this out!!! This
   deal is RESOLVED.
