Votes widget

Snax voting module delivers the Snax Latest Votes widget you can use to list recently added votes. You can find it in the WP admin panel › Appearances › Widgets section.

Fake votes

Fake votes functionality allows you to display a certain starting number of votes for every post, so you don't have to start from 0. This can be set globally or locally for every post.

Auto-calculation

Automatic votes calculation gets into account post publish date. At first votes counter won't be equal to value you set as Fake vote count base (see below) but will be only 10% of it. The counter will reach the final value after 30 days which makes it look more natural during post lifetime.

Global setup

To enable auto-calculation, please do as follows:

  1. Go to the WordPress Admin › Settings › Snax panel
  2. Go to the Voting section
  3. Set the Fake vote count base option to a number to set it globally
  4. Set the Fake vote count base option to empty to disable it

Single post setup

To set it up for a particular post, please:

  1. In the Post Editor find the Fake votes metabox just below the main post content
  2. Set Fake votes count to empty if you want the global setting to be used
  3. Set Fake votes count to a number to set it up individually for a post

Disable fakes for new submissions

To disable fake votes for a new posts submitted from frontend, please:

  1. Go to the WordPress Admin › Settings › Snax panel
