Rating Form 1.6.9

Rating Form is a WordPress plugin that helps you create versatile rating forms for feedback, engagement, and usability checks. You can use stars, hearts, smileys, thumbs, or upload your own shapes to match your brand style. It solves the need for a configurable, consistent way to collect ratings without custom development. With shortcodes, you can place multiple rating forms across your WordPress site and control their behavior per form.

The plugin is beginner-friendly and multilingual-ready, including a WPML-compatible translation template (.pot). It also supports time-based rating limits and can display rating results as rich snippets in search engines like Google, helping your content stand out.
