Plugin export tool is used to export plugin settings nothing more. All plugin rating data is stored in the database tables with the prefix ‘gdrts’.
Usually, when websites are transferred, database backup is used to make sure all the data is transferred. WordPress export works only for WordPress content, nothing more. You need to manually transfer rating tables. But, if the WordPress export/import process changed post ID’s, then the rating data will be useless. Best to try it and see if it is OK.
Thanks, I’m a bit worried about just wiping everything if I start messing around with tables!
Plugin has 4 tables, and if you transfer them into multisite network, you need to adjust prefix to tables too. I don’t like WordPress Import/Export XML, because it is very limited and practically useless for any website using plugins that have own data. True backup plugins transfer everything.
Thanks, I’ve just realised I’m using the old version of this (the star rating one). Have downloaded this one instead but I can’t get it to show up on my posts – they just say ‘No votes yet’ with no voting options. What am I doing wrong? (If I need to start this as a new thread, let me know!)
Thanks
This GD Rating System plugin is not compatible with old GD Star Rating plugin. You can use transfer data tools to transfer data from the old plugin (if you have database tables from old plugin in your website).
