Frequently Asked Questions

Can I add additional styling?

Yes you can. By adding custom styles in the WordPress customizer under /Appearance/Customize. The parent element of the button has the .zLikeButton class, the label containing the icon is styled using the zLikeLabel class.

Do you have plans to improve the plugin

Yes. We currently have on our roadmap:
* Adding translations
* Adding more features for both the button and the ‘My liks list’ (ordering in time, grouping by post type)
* Adding option for minifying the assets
