Tell us what you are trying to do? I am using the plugin WP DISCUZ comments plugin. They have a star rating system. Users can rate 1 to 5 when they leave a comment. I am trying to use the Toolset "Star Rating" to display this rating. WP Discuz is using the custom field "wpdiscuz_post_rating". This seems like it should be pretty straight forward. I found a few posts similar to this in your forum but I can't seem to get this to work dynamically. Thank You

Is there any documentation that you are following?

Is there a similar example that we can see?

What is the link to your site?

- Create a custom field group from Toolset => Custom fields or if you already have a custom field group for the post type where you want to add this rating, add the field "wpdiscuz_post_rating" to that custom field group.
- click on button "Add New Field" within your custom field group and then click on button "Choose from previously created fields" and select the field "wpdiscuz_post_rating" and save your custom field gorup.
- Then, Add the star rating block and with dynamic source, you will find the field "wpdiscuz_post_rating".

My issue is resolved now. Thank you!

Toolset's own review of their star rating system is that it is "Very Basic". If you have been following along here you will see that through toolset you just added a very complex comment & rating system to your site seamlessly. WPDiscuz has an incredible amount of features for free. You can use Toolset to add the review scores seamlessly into your posts and main pages. After you set this up the scores will be dynamic from that point forward so you will never need to edit it. Also ANY custom post type that you create with Toolset will automatically show up in WP Discuz you just need to activate it. Yet another reason that Toolset is so amazing.
