Voting types
The Contest Gallery WordPress plugin allows you to set up a 1-10 star-rating voting system. As an admin, you can select the rating system of any number, odd or even. But odd numbers like, 3-star, 5-star, 7-star, 9-star, and 10-star rating systems are most popular and used globally.
Uploaded files will be ranked based on the total number of stars (votes) they receive from user votes. For example, if a photo receives three 5-star, two 4-star, four 3-star, five 2-star, and three 1-star ratings, its total score would be calculated as follows: (3×5)+(2×4)+(4×3)+(5×2)+(3×1) = 48.
The star-rating voting system offers several benefits. Let’s have a look into them below.
Easy to Use
The star-rating system is simple and intuitive. Most users already have experience with this system. So, it’s easy for them to rate uploaded files.
Provides Clear Feedback
The star-rating system provides clear and concise feedback to users. This allows them to see the overall popularity of a particular uploaded file.
Accurate Ranking
The star-rating system provides an accurate way to rank uploaded files based on their popularity and overall rating.
Customizable
The number of stars in the star-rating system can be customized, meaning you can select any number of stars up to 10.
Helps to Identify Winners
The star-rating system can be used to identify the winners of contests or events, based on the total number of stars received by uploaded files.
