Rate

Most ratings plugins contain too much code: inline JavaScript, messy markup, weird CSS. Rate is simple, hardly intrusive, and completely overridable.

I haven’t gone through the plugin in detail so this is posted as a hacky fix to get stuff working rather than an actual solution, but: The problem appears to be that the javascript is looking for elements with a class of “needs-rating” or “form-rating”, but the stars are output inside a list with a class of just “rating”.
