    Hi
    Great Plugin thanks. I’m not an expert and I have read the other comments but would greatly appreciate your help.
    I have a website http://www.roomforargument.com and I would like to allow visitors to;
    1. Vote for several different items on one post page (each page has a list of several ‘for’ and ‘against’ propositions). The second time I go to vote for a different item it tells me I have already voted because I voted for a different item.
    2. I would really like to re-order the items on each post column (usually I have two separate columns)so the ‘most voted for’ items automatically go to the top of each column and they reorder in descending order according to number of votes.Please note I dont want to rank posts – I want to rank within each post.

    Please see my first attempt at;

    Thanks in advance for any help you can give.

    Hi Peter,

    It’s tricky. You should not add multiple thumbs buttons in 1 post. The plugin gets the post ID from the loop meaning (like you posted) it will store only one vote (the post where the other posts are in).

    In order to do multiple posts you have to use page-like archives. Where there’s a Loop printing multiple posts.

    More on the Loop: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/The_Loop

    Regarding the re-order, it’s not easy if you don’t know anything about WordPress Themes. You have to query posts using the meta_keys

    Using http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Template_Tags/get_posts you can use the following meta_key

    _thumbs_rating_up
    _thumbs_rating_down

    Best,

    Rick
