Rich Snippets

Hi,

Can I somehow use the google SERP rating stars on my wp frontpage? Since I can’t post any images or html code on the front page if it consists of the latest posts, I can’t use the WP-PostRatings-plugin on the frontpage.

thanks,

Good question. That plugin does have a template tag you can use to display the ratings where you’d like to have them. Here’s how to add it:

1. Go to the Appearance section in your WordPress control panel and select Edit.
2. From the list of files on your right, choose index.php.
3. Everywhere you see this line:

   
   <?php the_excerpt(); ?>
   

   add this below that:

   
   <?php if(function_exists('the_ratings')) { the_ratings(); } ?>
   

4. Save your changes.

That should add in the ratings to your front page posts. If you have any trouble, let me know.

Thanks,
Bill
