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 `` ### 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. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/1ad07090ced238c04ec2d7c358ee07c67b34ee9fb3e3cd7da3385977cb8e5f4c? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Well written and cool!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/well-written-and-cool/)󠁿 [ftdrgn](https://profiles.wordpress.org/ftdrgn/) 2026-04-07 I was searching for a simple, well written and usable like / dislike plugin with minimum options. While there are behemoths, there are also small ones, all of which didn’t really fit the bill because they were ether too simplistic, or too big, complex and pricy. If you know what you are doing, this plugin really it all. As an added bonus – it doesn’t create any additional WP tables, but uses wp_meta. Excellent! Kudos guys! ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/f91b2c082431b42b0b43fcb7d4372ccee3aa2acbdf81d269687d837fc0cd9970? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[it’s the best plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/its-the-best-plugin-2/)󠁿 [dgner](https://profiles.wordpress.org/dgner/) 2025-06-21 This is incredibly lightweight, and it doesn’t even create additional DB tables. I think it’s the best plugin for likes and dislikes. ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/fd71a874e77a5030bd9770368de7bf087b85fcfe579d22adc6140b9dde39d02b? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Не работает… вжух… и заработало 🙂](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/%d0%bd%d0%b5-%d1%80%d0%b0%d0%b1%d0%be%d1%82%d0%b0%d0%b5%d1%82-161/)󠁿 [Danilkin](https://profiles.wordpress.org/danilkin/) 2025-06-08 К сожалению, этот плагин не работает. Установил по инструкции. Открыл статью, нажал на “лайк” ничего не происходит. Только со второго раза меняется цвет лайка при нажатии, но сам лайк не появляется. Также при прописывании лайков в мета поле, лайки также не отображаются. Очень жаль. Надеюсь поправите или чем-то поможете.- Оценку исправил на 5. Сам был виноват. Нужно было удалить id=post_id из ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/8653b45be6ed603e69d9cca933aeed124c15ff0efdeeff85f47336f4f93de008? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Does it have most liked posts widget?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/does-it-have-most-liked-posts-widget/)󠁿 [Monk Mantra](https://profiles.wordpress.org/peaceful-monk/) 2024-11-16 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? ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/ea1ccfec2355d9f236e7ffbaa5a4d30ac4a9f480051dd62b1b054b0ab93ee47f? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Stopped working after the latest update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stopped-working-after-the-latest-update/)󠁿 [torstiva](https://profiles.wordpress.org/torstiva/) 2024-04-25 4 replies Disappeared from the site after the latest update.
