I am still awaiting how to make this plugin restrict to one vote per wp user. Can you please support this issue? Thanks in advance.
I know, I’m in the middle of a relocation right now, I’ll try to write a tutorial article about this.
Hi…A pre-sale query…Can I have a customized image for my voting button?
Hello. Right now, the image is text only and CSS. You can have any image you want set as a CSS background. Contact me via email and I’ll help you.
Hi, Is there a way to make voting possible both ways? Something like thumbs up/thumbs down system.
No, the plugin acts like a Facebook system, only +1s.
I purchased your plugin and have installed it. Can you please instruct me how to make the modification to allow only one vote per subscriber? Thanks!
I will help you tomorrow. Thank you.
Can you help with this yet? Thanks in advance
Stay tuned, I’m modifying the voting code and I’ll publish it really soon.
Hello @natek4523. You need to make a small change inside the like.php file. Just replace a variable with another variable. Contact me via email so I can explain you what to do.
I believe it has not been stated how to restrict votes to only 1 per subscriber. Can you let me know how to change like.php to do this please? Thanks!
I have a presale question. I want to only allow one vote per subscriber, rather than per IP. So each user can only vote once across the whole site. Can this be done?
Hi, I believe it can be done, I used it for a large voting event and I had to implement lots of filters. Do you want the vote to last forever or for a certain amount of time? For example, one vote per subscriber per 24 hours, or one vote per subscriber forever?
one vote per subscriber forever would be perfect.
Hi, is it possible to echo the vote count for each post (either single or in the archive)? I’d like to be able to show the post count independently of the button if possible.
Many thanks
Hi, it is possible yes. I would have to create a blank shortcode which will echo a numeric value. Stay tuned for the next release in a couple of days!
It’s done, I have added a new parameter for the shortcode and it displays the value only.
Hi I’m looking at this and think it looks great but I had two questions. One, so I won’t be able to have this on my blog page (kind of like on sites like Reddit) under each post? Secondly, how’d you get (in your screenshots) your WP back-end to look so cool? I.e. the admin bar, etc. I want that too! Thanks
Hi. First of all, I’m using MP6 plugin (free, just search for “MP6”). Second, you can have the button under each post if you want, either automatically, or manually via a shortcode.
I’m looking for a plugin with a ‘one man, one vote’ setting. You can vote for one of the entries, not a second one. Is there any way to use vote5 for this?
Thx
You can vote only once for an item, not all. It could be adapted for your needs, so contact me via email – my profile page, lower right corner.
what admin theme u use at the screenshot?
MP6. It’s the official WordPress 3.6 theme, but packaged as a plugin.
Hi, just wondering if the plugin will order posts by votes. So for example, posts with the most votes show in the list first. Thanks.
No, but you can use the widget for this.
Or the shortcode [vote5 top=10] and change 10 to any number you want.
Thanks for the reply. Does this also work for custom post types?
Yes, it works for custom post types, too.
Hi – can I use an image for the button?
You could use an image if you hacked the PHP file. There’s no other option. The idea is that the button is dynamic, showing the number of votes.
thanks
can i put this vote button under multiple images (via short code) on the same page?
No, the vote button is for posts/pages or custom posts only. One per page.
Hey there, will this work with custom post types as well?
Thanks!
Yes, I am using it with business links, jobs and classified ads, all of them based on WordPress custom posts.

Excellent! Thank you!
So, how do I exclude (or include) only certain post types? I don’t see that as an option in the settings screenshot?
You cannot include or exclude specifically, although I should add such an option. If you use the template tag, you can check for the post type and display the vote button, if your statement is true.
If you don’t want to get your hands dirty, wait for the next update, and I’ll add an option for custom posts. Or contact me via email and I could give you a sample code for what you need.
It is done, it will be live in a couple of days. I will also add a tutorial on the official web site.
Great work!
Is there a simple way to restrict voting to certain posts or, perhaps, a single category?
Yes, it is. But you need to mess with the template files.
But that’s an interesting idea, I’ll add a category option in the next update. Thank you for the suggestion. Next update is scheduled for January 15th.
That definitely gives me a valid reason (code-wise) to give the contestants in our contest another week to get their submissions in. Wouldn’t do to have an update the same day that voting is supposed to start.
Is there are way to have voting for posts, but not show the results publicly? Also, does it prevent people from voting multiple times from the same computer?
It does prevent people from voting from the same IP. Also, it sets a cookie preventing voting from the same computer.
There is no way of not showing the results. Could you give me more details about this? What are you trying to accomplish?
Sure, I’m looking to let people vote on a bunch of images, but I don’t want them to be able to see the tally until after the voting process is over. So basically only the admin would be able to tell. So maybe it would change to ‘thanks’ after they click vote.
Or change to “Voted” after click. Let me see if I can add a small option to show/hide the vote value.

Oh perfect! If it’s not hard, then I’m in. It would be exactly what I am looking for. Keep me posted.
I am displaying several short posts on the same page and the plugin doesn’t allow me to vote on multiple posts which are on rendered on the same page.
Any idea how I can make this work?
The plugin only works for individual posts and pages. It works for posts in a category. It doesn’t work for multiple posts on the same page, as it needs a unique ID.
side by side comparisons.
can you have more than one button in a post?
No, you can only have one button, as the button is attached to the post/page. Why would you want to have more than one button?
When vote5 is activated and I add a Category in my menu I have this error : Warning: call_user_func_array() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function ‘post_save_details’ not found or invalid function name in /home/www/7be0cceba4ce3878f5b652b8b1b07b60/web/wp-includes/plugin.php on line 403
I check, there is no function “post_save_details” on your plugin ? It’s normal ?
Yes, it is normal. The plugin had an issue with a WordPress function, and an update is almost ready. I’ll upload it tonight, and, hopefully, it will be live by tomorrow. Thanks for your feedback.
Hello, great plugin! How can i show all result into a page not in the widget? Thanks.
I’ll add a function in the next version. Thanks for your request/suggestion.
