Popularity Contest Plugin for WordPress

For the version espagnole click on the flag to the right ->

The project's popularity plugin for WP was started by Alex King, and he wrote a great plugin. But since the version of wordpress 2.3, the longer continuous development. Therefore I have decided to continue development and have a repository here with a version of popularity contest to work with the latest versions of wordpress.

Of course, the plugin will remain free, so if someone wants to help write code for it, please feel welcome.

The development and support for plugin takes time and effort, so I just ask you to show a link on your site, thanks.

  7. Hi,
    is this plugin compatible with wordpress 2.8.1?
    We are running the plugin on 2.7.1 and all works fine.

    Is there any update on this project?

    Let me know
    Thanks!

  8. Hi there, I'm using this plugin but notice that it causes the site to load extremely slowly. When I deactivate the plugin the site loads faster. Can you tell me if there is a way to speed up this plugin at all?

    Thanks,
    KJ

    • Hmmm ... ok a few people, nobody else said anything about this.

      Can you please explain a little bit about it?

      Ive been working on another port, not ready yet, but I would like something like 5.10 to test sites.

  9. It would seem quite a few people are experiencing this issue. Are there any plans to update the plugin for 2.8.4?
