Post voting plugin includes pages

The post voting plugin doesn’t differentiate between posts and pages. It looks funny that people can vote on static pages. It can be useful for posts, but for pages it just looks unprofessional.

We need a way to turn it off for pages.

    Hi Saunt Valerian,

    There’s actually a couple methods to achieve that built into the plugin, both using the manual position option for “Voting box position”. With that option selected, the voting options wouldn’t show at all unless you specify for them to show.

    You can specify for the voting options to show either through the use of shortcodes included in your posts or via template tags that you include in your theme files.

    So if you’d like for the voting options to appear only in posts, you could include the template tags in your theme’s single.php file.

    Both the shortcodes and template tags are listed in the options page at Settings > Post Voting.

    Hope that helps!
