We have finally added the ratings feature to the WordPress.org plugin (version 1.7.6).
This has been available on WordPress.com for a while and it has been well requested for the .org platform since. You will now be able to add a rating widget to all your posts, pages and comments.
When you update or install the PollDaddy plugin, you will now be presented with a new ‘Ratings’ menu, above the ‘Polls’ menu.
You can see a full explanation on how it all works over on the WordPress.com support site.

Also, check out this video for a demo of how to use this new feature.
If you have any questions, please leave a comment below or contact us here.
I don´t want to activate ratings for all my posts and pages, but I think it would be great for some of them. For example; if I write my opinion of a movie I can let my readers rate the movie and let them be the judge of the movies quality. Is it possible to activate the rating for a specific post or page.
Hi, you can use just the shortcode for specific posts. If you have an account on PollDaddy, you can retrieve the shortcode from the embed options and paste it into your post.

Is the data for the Ratings stored locally? If so can you display a listing of the highest rated posts/pages/comments? If not, any plans to mirror the data and/or provide some sort of widget/shortcode/function call to do just that?
Hi, we have the Top Rated widget that was included in the latest plugin release.

Nice!
Any plans to allow the ratings to be displayed using a custom template tag?
Right now it only allows you to append the code before or after the content but what if I want to display it somewhere else?
Hi, yes we have plans to add this in the next update. With a custom template tag, you will be able to place the rating wherever you like within your theme.
Thank you! It will be nice to include ratings to the side (not up and down)
it is possible to rate Posts only from one Category? maybe I can change something directly in code.
Best regards
Oxana
Hi, this is not possible as of yet.
