FAQ
Q: Where all of my voting logs gone after I deactivated and reactivated the plugin?
A: This plugin’s uninstall function removes two tables which were created during plugin activation.

Q: Why that two tables need to be deleted during deactivation?
A: Because it is good for those people like who really want to completely remove the plugin from their CMS.

Q: So how can I record the voting logs before I deactivate the plugin?
A: In the next release, I will add export to csv feature to record the voting logs.

Q: Why I cannot vote even I am a logged in user?
A: Because the site admin disallowed post author to vote his own posts and the post what you are intended to vote might be your own post .

Q: How do I style the widgets to blend them into my theme?
A: You could use custom css feature which is on the voting options page to style the widgets.  For more information, please see the help section of the plugin option page (voting options page)
