    Hi everybody,

    I've been searching for a theme which has review and rating. While searching on the new I found review engine theme by dailywp.com. It's almost what i want (especially review and rating part) But this theme is a bit expensive for me and the negative comments about the site, made me stay away. So do you know or have any wordpress theme similar to this thema whice has review and rating part.

    Regards,

    You mean post ratings? Internal, or social bookmarking and sharing ratings?
    Are you just looking for some thing that just lets users give a thumbs up or down, or stars?
    Do the posts need to be displayed based on highest rating?

    Thank you for your reply. I'm not good at web mastering so I try to explain it. I have a wordpress site and I want the things reviewed and rated by members. This rating can be both star rating and thumbs but now only rating one side. And reviews should be in some details. In my first message, i gave an example theme by dailywp. Actually that type is just what i want. Simple but effective and ready. But as i mentioned before that one is expensive for me. So i have been searcing something like that theme.

    Ratings and reviews are not always together in the same plug in. For ratings, I think this is one of the more popular free ones:
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/gd-star-rating/

    Not sure if you can leave reviews too.
    But there are plug ins out there for this, you just need to search and track down what you like.
    Unfortunately, most are premium.

    Not sure if it's best to go with a theme or a plug in. Either way, I think you will ahve to spend something.

    Thank you very much for your reply. Could I ask another question? Do you have any idea about this site and what do you think about this theme? The theme that i wrote before.

    Sorry, I don't know anything about it. But negative reviews would keep me away too. With WordPress there is always more than one way to do something.

    You can also check this theme

    http://www.elegantthemes.com/preview/InReview/

    It is also a review theme and might suit your needs. I also hold a full license + developer license for them i.e. elegantthemes and I might help if you need. Feel free to PM me.

    Or you might use a review plugin if you wish. I personally have unlimited site license of myreviewplugin.com for usage ONLY in my own sites. I would recommend them too but they are nearly as expensive as the theme you mentioned in the first post for only a single site (for unlimited site license it is a lot more too). So, not sure if the cost would suit your needs.

    waziuz thank you very much for your reply. I've just examined the link you gave. The price of the theme is good. But actually i didn't manage to understand the review and rating parts. Because, i guess the author can review and rate the products but not users. The main point for me is the users' review and rating.

    I have not got the time to use the InReview theme I provided above in any of my websites till now. But I can see from the demo is a ratings option in the comments too where the user can rate in addition to replying. So, it is a bit of a review but not as detailed as the DailyWP Review Engine Theme you mentioned in the first post. You can use the myreviewplugin.com plugin which I mentioned in the later part of my previous post for a more detailed review website. However, the cost is not that low as you require and so, the DailyWP theme might suit you better in case that is exactly what you need.

    waziuz thank you for your comment. I checked myreviewplugin. The rating part is good for me but the style and the appearance are not like what i want. and the price is as you said almost similar to the theme from dailywp. For this circumstances, buying the theme makes sense. But in this point i'm not sure about whether they are trustful or not (because of some negative comments about them).

    Themeforest does provide a few good rate and review WP themes, worth have a look
