Frequently Asked Questions

What does this plugin do ?

This plugin provides the ability to add the like and dislike buttons for WordPress native posts.

I have enabled the plugin but like and dislike icons are not being displayed. What may be the reason ?

Our plugin uses the_content filter to append like and dislike icons . So if your active theme’s posts template doesn’t use the_content filter to display posts content then our plugin won’t be able to display like and dislike icons.

Is there any hooks available to extend the plugin ?

Our plugin does contains many actions and filters which are described inside the Help Section

I want to display in the post detail template. Do you have a custom function?

We do have a shortcode [posts_like_dislike] which can also be used as custom function through <?php echo do_shortcode('[posts_like_dislike]');?>

Can I disable fontawesome?

Yes you can disable the fontawesome as well from the display settings and also you can use your own icons by using custom icon option in the display settings

Can I undo like and dislike after already liking or disliking?

Yes you can undo like or dislike by clicking the like or dislike. You can also give the different icon color for already liked or disliked icon from the display settings.

Does it have most liked posts widget?

This is a great and simple plugin, and lightweight also. There are many plugins out there in the market bloated with ads, and loaded with lots of css and js. But, this one is very lightweight. I just have one requirement, I've to display top 10 most liked posts in the widget on frontend? Is it possible?
