  3. Plugin metabox: you can remove the like button for any post or content individually and even cheat with you counters with manual editing :P

How do I display the button in my template?

Use the shortcode [love_me] in your content, or echo do_shortcode( '[love_me]' ); in a template. The shortcode accepts an optional id attribute: [love_me id="42"].

Which hooks are available?

  • love_me_add_cpt (filter): post types displaying the button.
  • love_me_auto_display (filter): whether the button is auto-inserted in the current content.
  • love_me_enqueue_assets (filter): force or prevent loading the plugin assets.
  • love_me_button_html (filter): override the button markup.
  • love_me_client_ip (filter): visitor IP, useful behind a reverse proxy.
  • love_me_client_id (filter): visitor identifier, e.g. to use a cookie instead of the IP.
  • love_me_max_client_ids (filter): cap the number of identifiers stored per post (default: unlimited).
  • love_me_toggled (action): fired after a like is added or removed.

Which data is stored about visitors?

A salted hash of the visitor IP is stored per liked post, so the same visitor cannot like twice. The raw IP is not stored. Raw IPs collected by version 1.x are hashed the next time the post receives a like. A suggested text is added to Settings Privacy.

Does it work with page caching?

Yes. When a cached page holds an expired nonce, the script fetches a fresh one and retries the request.

Fast genau das was ich will..

Funktioniert auf WordPress 6.5.5.
Was mir jetzt noch fehlt wäre die Einbindung für Bilder/Bildergalerie.
Aber leider wurde an dem Plugin schon lange nichts mehr gemacht.
Schade.

Perfect!

The best!

I have no idea why this is not more popular. It does exactly what you need with no fuss, no need for all sorts of third party account, pro accounts, or drama. I've tried all the options and 'Love me' is the clear winner. Install it, turn it on and viola! You have a clean simple post likes counter. Highly recommend.

Nice and simple plugin

a simple plugin and easy to configure, just what I need thank you.

Hübscher und einfacher Like-Button

By Sylvi on March 25, 2018

Hübscher Herz-Button, der jedem Leser ermöglicht sein Gefallen an einem Beitrag zu zeigen. Und das Schöne ist, der Besucher muss sich nicht dafür irgendwo registrieren wie beispielsweise für die Nutzung des Jetpack-Like-Buttons.

1.2.0

  • Compatibility: tested up to WordPress 7.1, requires WordPress 6.3+ and PHP 7.4+, translations now loaded on init (fixes the WP 6.7+ notice).
  • Security: AJAX requests validate the post (exists, viewable, enabled post type, not hidden); metabox saving requires the nonce and edit_post capability; settings are sanitized; all output is escaped.
  • Privacy: visitor IPs are stored as salted hashes instead of raw addresses; privacy policy suggestion added.
  • Performance: visitor lists moved out of postmeta into non-autoloaded options (no more large blobs loaded on archives); assets loaded only when a button is rendered, in the footer, deferred, without jQuery; versioned assets.
  • Fix: button no longer leaks into RSS feeds and auto-generated excerpts.
  • Fix: saving a post from another plugin no longer resets the “hide button” flag.
  • Fix: expired nonce on cached pages made the button unusable.
  • Admin: redesigned metabox (count at a glance, clearer labels, “Reset to 0” shortcut, link to settings) and “Settings” link on the Plugins screen.
  • New: id attribute on the shortcode, liked field in the AJAX response, uninstall.php, new filters and action (see FAQ).
  • Backward compatible: same option keys, meta keys, markup, CSS classes, script handles, shortcode and AJAX response.
