I've fixed that with the following code. You are free to add it to your plugin: <code> add_action('wp_head', 'addHeader'); function addHeader() { ?> <style type="text/css"> img.rating-star { border-width: 0; margin: 0; padding: 0; } </style> <?php } </code> In the function "function mombly_rating_prepareImages($score, $total)" you need to add the class-names to the img-tags like so: <code> while($i < $score){ $imageString .= '<img src="'.$mombly_rating_dir . '/images/' .$starFilename_val. '" class="rating-star" alt=". __( 'Star', $mombly_rating_optionsdomain ) .">'; $i++; } if($half === true){ $imageString .= '<img src="'.$mombly_rating_dir . '/images/' .$halfStarFilename_val. '" class="rating-star" alt=". __( 'Half star', $mombly_rating_optionsdomain ) .">'; } $i = 0; while($i < $emptyStars){ $imageString .= '<img src="'.$mombly_rating_dir . '/images/' .$emptyStarFilename_val. '" class="rating-star" alt=". __( 'Empty star', $mombly_rating_optionsdomain ) .">'; $i++; } </code> I added alt-tags since they are required for valid HTML. but I don't know what schema you use for the translation domain, so change them how you like. BTW, there are font symbols for black and outlined stars: ★ and ☆. I don't know how supported they are in different fonts, but I use the black one in the following setting: ★★★½-. Regards, anty I made a small fix for your WP plugin “Mombly Review Rating”:
If your theme formats images in posts the review stars might have borders, margins or paddings. I’ve fixed that with the following code. You are free to add it to your plugin:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
add_action('wp_head', 'addHeader');
function addHeader() {
    ?>
    <style type="text/css">
        img.rating-star {
            border-width: 0;
            margin: 0;
            padding: 0;
        }
    </style>
    <?php
}

In the function “function mombly_rating_prepareImages($score, $total)” you need to add the class-names to the img-tags like so:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
while($i < $score){
        $imageString .= '<img src="'.$mombly_rating_dir . '/images/' .$starFilename_val. '" class="rating-star" alt=". __( 'Star', $mombly_rating_optionsdomain ) .">';
        $i++;
    }
    if($half === true){
        $imageString .= '<img src="'.$mombly_rating_dir . '/images/' .$halfStarFilename_val. '" class="rating-star" alt=". __( 'Half star', $mombly_rating_optionsdomain ) .">';
    }
    $i = 0;
    while($i < $emptyStars){
        $imageString .= '<img src="'.$mombly_rating_dir . '/images/' .$emptyStarFilename_val. '" class="rating-star" alt=". __( 'Empty star', $mombly_rating_optionsdomain ) .">';
        $i++;
    }

Matt, the head Wordpress Nazi, has declared all plugins must be GPL but this is his ridiculous private crusade. A crusade the lines his pockets, by the way, since he is the only person making any revenue from Wordpress. Cforms Oliver seems to have spent (wasted?) 3000 hours on a plugin should be SELLING it, not giving it away free. I would pay a few bucks for it without hesitation. It's just too bad Matt's too stupid to provide a way to do this - he actually spends more time trying to prevent it. As a result, plugin authors have NO incentive to work on their "product" or support it. I agree – why should the author release the plugin under GPL?

FYI: When I do the install form within the backend, the plug-in is installed into a folder named "mombly-review-rating". I had to change the 'siteurl' in the mombly_reviewrating.php file to that path in order to make the plug-in work. Maybe you should fix this. Thanks for the plug-in.
