WP-PostRatings plugin compatibility

Hi there,

It seems your plugin is either not really compatible with the WP-PostRatings plugin (https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/wp-postratings/) or I am setting something up wrong.

When I activate your plugin the wp-postratings widgets don’t get updated and also if I rate an article when I go back to an article I can rate it again if I press F5 for example. But when I do so I get a message “You Had Already Rated This Post. Post ID #223.” which is true, but then why can I rate it again? It seems to me that a lot of things are cached which are interfering with the ratings.
If I clear the cache from the backend then everything shows up correctly.

Unfortunately at the moment the only way I can make the ratings work as expected is if I turn off your plugin (which I don’t want to do because the plugin is awesome) 🙂

I am wondering if it would be possible to create some sort of trigger so that when a rating is placed the cache gets immediately deleted?

Do you have any ideas who I can achieve this?

Thank you,

Jambo

post rating used to be compatible. Maybe the plugni editor updates something. I will test and inform you.

Ok, that’s a pity. Thanks for trying!

So I am now trying to find a workaround 🙂

I was thinking to trigger a cache clear each time a rating is set.

Lester wrote that I can use the “rate_post” action hook:

Could you help me with this maybe? Basically all I need is that when “rate_post” is triggered I would like to do a complete html cache flush (like in the option in your plugin to clear cache when a new post is published).

Thanks a lot for your efforts! 🙂

Done 🙂 Thx for your help!

BTW I have stopped using WP-Postratings plugin and changed to PollDaddy. Works like a charm!

Hi Emre,

Unfortunately PollDaddy also has some issues, the ratings don’t show in Google Rich Snippets. They said they have to fix this and there is no ETA for it.

So I am back to square one 🙂

What I would like to do is when someone rates an article (using WP-PostRatings plugin) I would like to clear the cache. Is it possible to have some action filter that clears the cache each time a rating is given?

I think it should be possible somehow since you have the option to “Clear all cache files when a post or page is published”.

Is it possible to apply this also when a new rating is given?

If you could point me to the right direction I would really appreciate it!

Thanks a for your help,

Jambo
