Topic: Formatting Text relative to Stars Display

[thekaboomer]

I have what's probably  a very simple question: how can I get the stars and text to display on successive, separate lines, like this:

stars
text

I have the plug's results formatted in a narrow, vertical box, and cannot get the two elements to appear this way. I've messed with post-ratings.css, but to no avail.

WP 2.5
Mandigo Theme (latest version)

I'm building my blog locally, so I can't link to it, but you can check this guy's blog out to see roughly what I'm trying to achieve:

I noticed that there's a </br> in his code between the stars and the text, but not in my page code. Can't figure out how it gets there - any help very appreciated. Thanks!

wp-admin -> ratings -> ratings options

thanks, gamerz

I've actually done a lot of messing around in the Options control panel, but to no avail with this issue.

I tried tossing a couple of </br>'s into the "Ratings Vote Text" template to see if that would make a difference, like this:

%RATINGS_IMAGES_VOTE% (<strong>%RATINGS_SCORE%</strong> rating, <strong>%RATINGS_USERS%</strong> votes)<br /><br/><br/>%RATINGS_TEXT%

But no dice. Is this where I'm supposed to make changes, and what should they be?

Thanks!

try inserting text to see if the text is rendered.

[thekaboomer]

Yes text is rendered. For instance, this code, entered in the Ratings Voted Text field,....

---------------------------------------

%RATINGS_IMAGES% </br>TEXT

%RATINGS_USERS%  votes so far

TEXT

--------------------------------------

...results in a display of

---------------------

stars TEXT

2 votes so far

TEXT

---------------------

....with a break between each of those lines
