<h4>Like buttons for WordPress</h4>
Most visitors read without commenting. <a href="https://wpulike.com/?utm_source=wp-repo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=readme" rel="nofollow ugc">WP ULike</a> adds one-click voting to your site so you get a clear signal on what resonates, without signup walls or heavy setup.
Install, activate, and voting goes live. Works out of the box, with a simple dashboard and optional customization when you need it.
Optional IP anonymization, WordPress personal data export/erase, and flexible logging options help you align the plugin with your privacy policy.
WP ULike supports posts out of the box and integrates with WooCommerce, BuddyPress, and bbPress. The frontend uses vanilla JavaScript (no jQuery) and works with major caching plugins.
