 * Collection of detailed voting statistics

#### Credit Where Credit’s Due

This plugin is 95% fork of WaspThemes’s WordPress plugin [Was This Helpful?](https://wordpress.org/plugins/was-this-article-helpful/).
Since the “Was This Helpful?” plugin is not actively maintained and not tested with
the latest version of WordPress, I decided to take it over and continue to improve.

#### From wordpress.org

    using your favorite method (ftp, sftp, scp…)

Depending on your configuration choices, you could find the voting statistics for

configured HelpfulnessMeter globally for your posts). You can also use the shortcode`[
helpfulness_meter]` to manually put the HelpfulnessMeter voting inset in your content.
You may also need to list all content stats where the above shortcode is manually
added, in that case I invite you to create a private page and paste the below shortcode
