 * Hi,
    Is there any way to remove votes that I have made myself? When trying out
   the plugin I had to make votes to see that it all works fine, now I want the 
   votes to be only by members.
 * I have tried to remove the votes directly in my database, but they arenät removed.
 * Is there a log or something that I have missed?

 * Sorry that is not possible because the poll itself only stores the accumulated
   votes, even if you delete the cookie or remove the poll log, nothing will change.
   You will have to edit the poll and change the vote count manually.

 * I don’t have Poll.
 * I have Ratings>Manage ratings
 * But where do I change the vote count? Can’t find any of that… the only thing 
   I find is the possibility to delete logs and data.

 * Oh sorry, I got mixed up with WP-Polls
 * Go and edit the post and at the bottom, there is a custom post fields, look for
   ratings_average, ratings_score and ratings_users. You can edit it there

 * Hm, I don’t have that either.
    I have it on my blog posts, but not on my recipes.
   Is that something that has to do with my theme?
 * Is it possible to do the update in the database instead?

 * Custom post field might be hidden, under the top right you should see a tab called
   screen options, ensure that the custom fields is checked [https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields](https://codex.wordpress.org/Custom_Fields)
   under Usage.
 * If you know the post_id of the recipe, then you can update wp_postmeta table 
   with the meta_key ratings_average, ratings_score and ratings_users
 *     ```
       UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = 0 WHERE post_id = ID AND meta_value = 'ratings_average';
       UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = 0 WHERE post_id = ID AND meta_value = 'ratings_score';
       UPDATE wp_postmeta SET meta_value = 0 WHERE post_id = ID AND meta_value = 'ratings_users';
       ```
