Visitor Rating

Engaging with your readers is very important. The Visitor Rating feature allows your website visitors to vote on your recipes without logging in. This feature is available in the Zip Recipes Premium plan.

When a visitor rates a recipe, they will see that rating in the future and can change it as well. This allows visitors that come back to a recipe frequently to remember how well they liked it:

We have spam protection in place where if we detect that someone’s abusing the ratings and clicking too frequently, we start to delay them so your ratings are not affected.

How it Appears on Search Engines like Google

Your recipe ratings will appear on Google’s search engine results page and make your recipe pop out!

Deactivating

If you don’t wish to allow your visitors to rate your recipes, you can deactivate this feature from Zip Recipes > Manage Extensions.

From the extension list, uncheck VisitorRating and then click Save:

F.A.Q.

Sure! Just go to your account, then click “view licenses”, then “view upgrade”. There you have options to pay the additional amount.

Clicking on the ‘View Details and Downloads’ button will take you to a new page. On this new page scroll down to locate the ‘Products’ section. In the products section you can click on the plugin hyperlink to download the plugin.

If you click the download link after you have purchased a plugin, you should download a zipped file which you can upload to WordPress. If this is not the case, you are probably using Safari. This is easy to fix. Go to:

Safari > Preferences > General > Open “safe” files after downloading: uncheck.
