below each photo of all WordPress image/photo galleries using the `[gallery]` shortcode.

Hi! How can I remove the voting icon from other galleries? I need one gallery with
voting, not all on the site pages.

Hello guys, Where do I type in the code [gallery]. I downloaded the plugin, and
it is activated, but there is still no voting option. Thanks for the help.

### [Great plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/great-plugin-8532/)
[An Clochar](https://profiles.wordpress.org/an-clochar/) September 3, 2016
This is a super plugin. We ran a photo competition and once all the entries were
in we wanted the public to vote on the best photo. The best photo voted by the public
receive a great prize. The support from the Team is excellent and I’m giving 5 stars
for the support and the plugin which is so easy to install and have a gallery with
a very simple functional voting system. Thanks guys!
### [Good plugin, but need to select galleries](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/good-plugin-but-need-to-select-galleries/)
[IH Malta](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ih-malta/) September 3, 2016
Very sipmle and useful plugin, but in our site we need to choose galleries for voting(
we do not need to add “vote” buttons to every gallery). I had to add a class to
the tag in the plugin template, and add a CSS rule (visibility:hidden or display:
none) on the all pages where the gallesies should be without VOTE buttons. Also,
I think the plugin needs an option to reset (delete) the voted IP addresses from
database. Now you can delete the outdated IP records manually via PhpMyAdmin. Also,
it will be very useful to add another option: the different (separate) vote counting(
from the same IP) for the different galleries. And the separate IP removing.
