 * The plugin with its standard settings is probably the best ratings plugin there
   is going!!
 * But I’m sorry to say that the the documentation for this plugin is as clear as
   mud when it comes to the additional use of shortcodes!!!
 * All I want to do is create a manual list of page/post titles and have the rating
   for that page/post come up next to it.
 * I thought it was a simple as this:
 * Test Page 1 `[yasr_visitor_votes  size="large" postid="11" readonly=”yes"]`
    
   Test page 2 `[yasr_visitor_votes  size="large" postid="12" readonly=”yes"]` Test
   Page 3 `[yasr_visitor_votes  size="large" postid="13" readonly=”yes"]`
 * But this just displays stars with no details of scoring
 * If I take the read only off the functionality comes but then I can use the stars
   to rate the apge without even seeing it??
 * Please can you assist and lift this plugin up to the top of the plugin tree.

 * it is that simple, but I see some strange characters in your strings, be sure
   to always use [this symbol](https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/ff02/index.htm)
   instead of [this](https://www.fileformat.info/info/unicode/char/2033/index.htm).
 * Further, if you need to use “large” size, you don’t need to declare it.
 * So, you can achieve with this code
 *     ```
       [yasr_visitor_votes postid="11" readonly="yes"]
   
       [yasr_visitor_votes postid="12" readonly="yes"]
   
       [yasr_visitor_votes postid="13" readonly="yes"]
       ```
   
 * Please keep in mind that a post or page with that postID must exists (even as
   a draft)
    You can find more info about that [here](https://pagely.com/blog/find-post-id-wordpress/)
 * Hope this helps!
