GD Star Rating: Settings
This plugin comes with a default of 10 stars. To convert to 5 stars, go to "Settings" > "articles" then reduce the "no. of stars" from 10 to 5. Do the same for comments.
Then go to the thumbs up icon and get rid of all check boxes.
I’ve spent over a week looking for the answer to this. I even posted on the WordPress support forum, and no one replied! So thanks.
