Around 3AM this morning (serriously, I really want this plugin to work) I stumbled on a block of code (see here) that was causing problems on my Wordpress setup at least. It works for me, but others are having difficulties. So, I’ve zipped my whole “Starred Review” folder, made a change or two (Thumbs.db!) and uploaded it as Starred Review 2.0 Beta (Patched).

Install

1. Remove the file starred-review.php and the folder starred-review from your plugins directory.
2. Download and un-zip Starred Review 2.0 Beta (Patched).
3. Open the folder “Starred Review Patched” and copy the contents (minus README) to the plugins directory on your Wordpress server
4. CMOD & Set Permissions all those files to 777. I don’t understand CMOD, but it could help.
5. Open up your Wordpress Admin, go to Plugins – make sure that “Starred Review” is enabled.

That should be it really, if this is your first installation / virgin-install of the patch check Marc’s way-better install page for details / style info.

The default stars are Black gifs, you can easily change these by downloading the original Starred Review file (check out the images folder, replace the files in my patched images black-gif folder). Or download the psd for Photoshop.

Leave a comment if it works, especially if it doesn’t. heh.
