Several issues have been found with a revision of Vote It Up (version 1.2.0). A new version of the plugin has been released at Wordpress.org. Version 1.2.2 patches some of these existing problems.
Note: This plugin is NOT yet compatible with auto-update. Updating this plugin with the auto-update in Wordpress may cause some issues.
Version 1.2.2 specifically addresses the following issues:
1. Guest voting problem
A problem has been identified that will prevent guests from voting once another person has casted a vote. This affects users using version 1.2.0 and the new database version (3000). Version 1.2.2 fixes this problem and guests can now cast votes normally.
2. Loss of votes when using plugin auto-update
Vote It Up does not support the auto-update feature from Wordpress yet. Fortunately, Vote It Up provides a back up system for votes in the event that the database upgrade failed, hence no votes were lost. Version 1.2.2 adds a roll-back button (accessible via plugin options) that forces the plugin to use the older database instead of the new and blank one generated by auto-update. You will obtain your original votes by clicking on the roll back link.
Using an older version of Vote It Up may restore your votes as well.
3. User register notice
The plugin no longer embeds a hidden layer in a page’s footer if the user chose to enable guest voting.

I apologize for any inconvenienced caused as a result of the latest update to the plugin.

I just upgraded to this from an older version (with the old DB schema) and things stopped working. After some hunting I found these issues:
In votingfunctions.php:
Line 53: “wp_voteiu_data” is explicitly used. Using a different table prefix breaks the query.
Lines 427, 428, 437, 438: Each query in those lines are missing an “AND” in the WHERE clause.
Also, in the SortVotes function, you’re using a bunch of calls to mysql_connect, when you have the $wpdb object right there that you could call through.
The line numbers are in the released version of 1.2.2.
Thank you for update but I want to known how I can use my old data in previous version.
becuase I upgrade to 1.2.2 and I lost all vote (reset to 0)
How do I enable 2-way voting? I can’t find it anywhere in the settings!
Thanks,
Dave
Thanks so much for making these changes. I was tearing my hair out!
Hi, I’ve just upgraded to 1.2.2 from 1.1.1. Some posts seem to have much less votes than before. Did the upgrade remove any duplicate votes?
What’s the version 1.2.3 listed on wordpress? That version is not mentioned on this site.
thanks nicholas for this update
Okay, I’ve moved my site twice and changed all the little tags all over my site to point to the correct location, except for Vote It Up. It seems to want to pull URLs from two moves ago. I have the widget in the footer to show you what I mean. The first one is pulled from my most recent URL, the ones below that however are all from two moves ago.
I have this also on the admin page for the erasure of the votes. I’ve updated to 1.2.2 and this is still happening. Help.
wondering if my question will ever get answered! lol…

PLEASE HELP:
I’ve downloaded Vote it Up, but am having some issues. Please see my dev site: http://www.robbietilton.com
Currently, I can NOT cast a vote. An error is occurring and the page isn’t recognizing that guests are ALLOWED to vote.
If you scroll to the bottom of the page you can see the error message.
Please let me know if you can help. I’ve downloaded the most recent version found here: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/vote-it-up/ –but this says version 1.1.1 instead of 1.2.2 which many of you mentioned you were able to download.
I really want to get this version working. I also checked my phpMyAdmin and all the SQL is working properly.
Hi,
This feature is not working:
It give me this error:
You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ’ ”, ”, ”, ”)’ at line 1
How can I get this to simply display the vote count for a post?
Thanks!
Fresh install 2.8.6 and fresh 1.2.2 plug-in
or
Returns:
Notice: Undefined variable: post_ID in /home/public_html/classipress/wp-content/themes/default/single.php on line 28
Notice: Undefined variable: post_ID in /home/public_html/classipress/wp-content/themes/default/single.php on line 29
Every time this plug in is updated something else breaks or no longer functions. Time I paid for it to be done properly, as it stands, this is just getting worse and worse, your forums dead and the documentation for this plugin seems to be useless now. You even have 1.2.3 on wordpress.org yet this is the latest? dude wtf.
GetVotes($post_ID) etc does not work, errors above.
Using latest version cant get the vote count to show with GetVotes($post_ID) I just have 0 or whatever I add in the admin for the Initial vote count. Doubt the other calls will work then either, only the vote button works.
