# Plugin settings page doesn't work

 * Hello,
 * I just insalled version 1.8.2 of the plugin on my website, example here:
    [http://thefrontliner.com/reviews/awakenings-summer-area-v-be-at-tv-review-24741](http://thefrontliner.com/reviews/awakenings-summer-area-v-be-at-tv-review-24741)
 * I can see that it works by default but the settings page in the control panel
   seems not to react to any change I’m making, it’s not saving my settings and 
   it keeps remaining as default.
 * For example, I’m trying to use the medium stars and set 10 stars in advances 
   settings.
 * Screenshot attached below for how it looks in the admin control panel:
    [http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn51/jacobhenry1/09-07-201306-03-38_zps856a950b.png](http://i301.photobucket.com/albums/nn51/jacobhenry1/09-07-201306-03-38_zps856a950b.png)
 * You can see that the live preview and the theme is stuck on loading, I suppose
   it’s not a problem that is related to other plugins.
 * Your assistance please, I don’t mind giving my wordpress details if necessary
   via my e-mail.
 * Thanks.

 * Update: I can confirm that User Availability Settings and both Visibility Settings
   works when I’m saving them, but the rest as I said above isn’t operational.

 * Also, besides the issue above I’ll appreciate if you will assist me on making
   the rating system disabled on a post by default and instead of an exclude widget
   there will be an option to *include* it on specific posts through the post edit
   page, and not by naming the post ids on the control panel.
 * So writer can do that without having access to the plugin setting page.
 * Thanks!

 * Problem fixed! Please refresh your browsers cache and try now. It was an issue
   in our core JS that affected the plugin. Please let me know if it works for you.

 * It’s fixed Vova, thank you.
 * Can you please relate to my other request? I’ll write it once again.
 * Is there an option to make the rating system disabled on a post by default and
   instead of an exclude widget there will be an option to *include* it on specific
   posts through the post edit page, and not by naming the post ids on the control
   panel.
 * Sounds like a very natural option for me.
 * Looking forward to hear your thoughts!
 * Many thanks.

 * Hey [@bstyler](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bstyler/), yes there is. Open
   the ratings settings in the Admin’s dashboard, locate the ‘Specific Visibility
   Settings’, and select option #3 – “Show rating on only the listed Blog Posts”
 * Now, when you create a new post, you can include/exclude the ratings as you want.
 * Please let me know if that worked.

 * Hello Vova,
 * It did work, but now every post/page “Show Rating” widget is checked by default.
   Is there a way to make it unchecked by default and then we can check it to activate
   it when we choose to?
 * Thanks!

 * Sorry for the late response, this requires major changes in the code and most
   of the users prefer to manually exclude rather then include specific posts. I
   added it to the TODOs anyway 🙂

 * theme settings page work wont. shows it is loading and goes from one stage to
   the next, then winds up leaving the backend and returning to the front end without
   giving me a chance to do my edits.
