Customizable voting for WordPress content
LikeBtn PRO, VIP, and ULTRA are paid plans for the Like Button Rating plugin, designed to add customizable Like and Dislike buttons throughout a WordPress website. Buttons can be used with posts, pages, comments, WooCommerce products, BuddyPress activities and members, bbPress forum posts and users, UltimateMember profiles, custom post types, and Epoch comments.
The plugin provides more than 80 parameters, 41 themes, and 40 languages. You can adjust the button position and alignment, customize the Like and Dislike button text, use the available CSS access for styling, and support right-to-left layouts. Custom themes and images are also supported.
Paid plan capabilities
The PRO, VIP, and ULTRA plans include features for measuring engagement and presenting popular content. Paid-plan functionality includes real-time reports, voting statistics, and sorting content by likes. You can also display the most liked content with a widget or the [likebtn_most_liked] shortcode, and show content liked by the current authenticated user with a widget or the [likebtn_liked_by_user] shortcode.
PRO includes email notifications for administrators when new votes are recorded. ULTRA adds the ability to change the number of likes or set an initial random number of likes. The plugin can track voters by IP, device, cookie, or user, and can display a Like box listing users who liked an item.
Shortcodes and site integrations
Shortcodes make it possible to place voting elements and totals where they are needed. Use [likebtn] to display a Like button inside a post or page, [likebtn_likes] and [likebtn_dislikes] to show totals, and [likebtn_off] to disable the button on a selected post or page. The [likebtn_category_likes] shortcode displays the total number of likes for a category.
LikeBtn is compatible with myCRED and GamiPress. BuddyPress support includes notifications for authors when authenticated users like or dislike their content, recording Like and Dislike actions in the BuddyPress activity stream, and custom templates for snippets in that stream. Votes in private groups are not displayed in the public activity stream. WPML compatibility, Multisite compatibility, Google Rich Snippets, Open Graph meta tags, and support for fully cached websites are also listed features.
