Like And Who Likes

Description

This plugin adds the ‘Like’ button and ‘Who Likes’ list to:

  • WordPress posts and comments
  • BuddyPress activities and comments
  • BBPress posts

It allows for registered users to like the items. And it shows for both registered and unregistered users the existing likes.

The components to show the likes to can be configured on the settings page. For example, the likes can be disabled for WordPress comments.

Likes are saved in the internal WordPress and BuddyPress meta tables. No separate tables are created.

The plugin cleans all its data on uninstallation (but not on deactivation).

Changelog

1.3.1

  • Fixed a bug caused uninstallation problems when BuddyPress was not installed
  • Fixed a bug that was preventing the like button from working in WordPress blogs if BuddyPress was not installed

1.3.0

  • Added the settings page to be able to enable/disable the likes in WordPress, BuddyPress and BBPress

1.2.0

  • BuddyPress – the ‘Like’ button now is only shown when the activity is available for commenting. Because if the activity is not commentable it means that it refers to a blog post or forum post, which in turn is available for liking on its own page.
  • BBPress – the ‘Like’ button moved to its logical place – to the post links panel.
  • The ‘Who Likes’ block is wrapped in the paragraph instead of the div to inherit content’s margins.
