I tried this plugin with the latest verison of WordPress (currently version 4.9.4)
and the results were disappointing. On submitting a trial request, unwanted code
is returned across the user screen. Also, on requesting to read more, I find that
the remaining text does not sit properly within the page design for theme Twenty-
Fourteen. If anyone could suggest an alternative up-to-date free plugin that is 
ready to run with the above theme and version of WordPress, I would be most grateful.

It’s a good plugin & good idea. But, Revise, Too much bug ! Translation impossible
and not taken into account. Voting system, a review. No need to block, number of
votes.

### 󠀁[Completely broken and unsupported](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/completely-broken-and-unsupported/)󠁿

 [c4rlton](https://profiles.wordpress.org/c4rlton/) juillet 16, 2017 2 replies

The description of the plugin is exactly what I would like. I installed the plugin
on a test site and did my best to figure out how to get it working. I was able to
create groups and assign a certain number of votes in those groups, and all the 
other functionality in the back end interfaces appears to be there. Unfortunately
it just does not work at all. I cannot vote on anything and keep getting the message
that I have no more votes in this category even though I have not voted even once.
I suspect maybe there needs to be a way to add users to specific groups but I cannot
see how to do that. I would add a support request but there are already numerous
people with the same error and none of them have gotten any response so unfortunately
I must conclude this plugin is « Completely broken and unsupported ». I think there
is a great gap which this plugin would fill perfectly if it worked. I would even
be happy to contribute. Unfortunately, I have no other options but to build something
custom.

Many parameters aren’t pulling through (tested on WP 4.4.5 and 4.6.1) and thus things
like putting the submissions into a pending state don’t work and just appear live
without approval or disabling the upload option doesn’t work. If those sort of things
worked out the box, this plugin would be epic.
