 * If, for whatever reason, you’re still stuck with using this plugin, be mindful
   that it prevents Hyper Cache from doing its job.
 * To be more specific, Hyper Cache checks to see whether there are any cookies 
   that start with ‘wordpress_’. If there are, it assumes a user is logged in and
   does not cache the page. This plugin sets a cookie called ‘wordpress_ratepost’.
 * There are a several other (performance) issues with this plugin due to coding
   that (today at least) is recognized as bad practice. While I’m grateful for the
   use I’ve gotten from it in the past, I’m happy to say I can stop using this one
   soon.
 * btw. If you’re replacing this plugin for another, be sure to add the following
   lines to your ‘functions.php’:
 *     ```
       add_action('init','clean_up_votethepost')
       /**
                *  Clean up the (client side) leftovers of the votethepost plugin
                */
               public function clean_up_votethepost() {
                   // Removes 'Vote the post' cookie
                   if( isset( $_COOKIE['wordpress_ratepost'] ) ) { setcookie( 'wordpress_ratepost', $_COOKIE['wordpress_ratepost'], 1, COOKIEPATH ); };
               }
       ```
