I noticed that the 5-star stand alone post rating, for anonymous users, does not allow submitting multiple ratings. That's a good thing.

How is this enforced? I don't see a cookie saved in the browser.

And the same question is for logged in users, how is this enforced? Is it in the database?

Thanks!

@tedtanaka,

It checks in DB via the IP address of the guest. In the case of the logged users, it checks via their IDs.

In case you want to say thank you! 🙂
We'd really appreciate if you leave a good review on the plugin page.
This is the best way to say thank you to this project and the support team.
