Excluding ONE category from the ratings
Dan
I finally figured it out!!
I was using too much code. What I figured out was when your using one of your themes you would use:
<?php if(in_category('Credit')): ?> with for instance <?php ratings_list(); ?> still below it to keep reviews for that category. Follow this for all three files.
For different themes you would insert this:
<?php if (!in_category("Credit")) {ratings_list();} ?> to exclude the ratings.
I kept on keeping the whole code like I commented above on. I'm happy I finally figured it out because now the couple of sites I have been working on are going to come together nicely.

Dan. Love this plugin. I noticed on the settings page for the plugin there is a check box to display average ratings on pages/posts. I am using one of your themes so I have not checked it.
What would be great is if you could set up the plugin to where the we can choose to have the ratings or not on each post/page instead of having to go through all of the coding. Like a simple checkbox for each page/post we write.
I'd like this feature because I can use the "Top Rated" and "Recent Posts" widgets on the sidebar. With your "weighted average" formula the top rated posts would still be the highest ranking on the home page. This way I can still write content to get search rankings and hopefully lead to people writing or reading reviews because they will see the "top rated" widget on the side. I know that the newest post will be farther down the home page but it should be because its not rated.
I hope I did not over analyze this but it would make it so much easier to have a check box for each post/page for the ratings asking us if we wanted to insert it or not. This would save a lot of time for us non programmers.
If there is a way to do this already and I missed something please let me know.
Thanks
