required+ WP Ratings

Required WP Rating adds a simple upvote/downvote system to any post or page, allowing visitors to express their opinion and optionally submit feedback. It's designed for site owners who want to collect user ratings without extra complexity.

• Upvote/Downvote Buttons: Visitors can rate each post with a single click, making it easy to gauge content quality. The rating is tied to the post and prevents duplicate votes from the same user.
• Optional Feedback Form: Users can leave a comment alongside their rating, providing additional context or suggestions. The feedback can be processed via developer hooks.
• Customizable Messages: Administrators can modify all user-facing messages using filters, such as the "already voted" error, generic error, missing rating ID, empty feedback, or thank you text.
• Developer Hooks: The plugin exposes an action rplus_wp_rating_send_feedback that fires when feedback is submitted, passing the rating ID, feedback text, and post ID. Developers can use this to send email notifications, log ratings, or integrate with other systems.
• Clean Uninstall: When the plugin is deleted, all rating data is properly removed from the database, leaving no residual data.

The plugin is lightweight, requires no external services, and works out of the box. It includes German translations and is tested up to version 4.2 of the CMS. Installation is straightforward: upload the zip via the admin panel or FTP, activate, and ratings appear automatically on posts and pages.
