Choose where voting appears

LikeBtn PRO, VIP, and ULTRA are paid plans for the Like Button Rating plugin. Add customizable Like and Dislike buttons to posts, pages, comments, WooCommerce products, BuddyPress activities and members, bbPress forum posts and visitors, UltimateMember profiles, custom post types, and Epoch comments.

Set each button’s position and alignment, edit its Like and Dislike text, and style it with CSS access, custom themes, or images. The plugin includes more than 80 parameters, 41 themes, and 40 languages, with support for right-to-left layouts.

Review votes and surface popular content

Paid plans include real-time reports and voting statistics. Sort content by likes, or display the most liked items with a widget or [likebtn_most_liked] shortcode. A widget or [likebtn_liked_by_user] shortcode can list content liked by the current authenticated visitor. The Like box displays users who liked an entry, and voter tracking can use IP address, device, cookie, or user.

PRO includes administrator email notifications when new votes are recorded. ULTRA lets you change the number of likes or set an initial random number of likes.

Place buttons, totals, and lists

Use [likebtn] to place a Like button in a post or page. The [likebtn_likes] and [likebtn_dislikes] shortcodes display vote totals, while [likebtn_off] disables the button on a selected post or page. Use [likebtn_category_likes] to display the total likes for a category.

Additional settings include donation buttons in a popup and Likes, Dislikes, and Likes minus dislikes as post custom fields. The plugin is compatible with myCRED and GamiPress, and supports WPML, Multisite, Open Graph meta tags, and fully cached sites.

BuddyPress can notify authors when authenticated users like or dislike their content, record those actions in the activity stream, and use custom templates for activity snippets. Votes from private groups do not appear in the public activity stream.

Install and enable buttons

Upload the plugin to /wp-content/plugins/ and activate it from the WordPress Plugins menu. Open the plugin’s Settings tab and click “Get Account Data.” Register for an account, add your site to it, then enter the account data in Settings. In the Buttons tab, select a post type and click “Enable Like Button.” Configure the button’s appearance, position, language, text, and tracking options, then add shortcodes or widgets where needed.

The plugin includes a 7-day trial. After the trial, the website switches to the FREE plan, which you can continue using or upgrade from.
