  • BIG Thank You!

    I am just testing the 'Like Post Block' locally at the minute, and it's really great. It's nearly what I am looking for (at least visually). I like that the plugin seems very light, and that it works well with the Gutenberg Query Loop Block. May I suggest some new features?1) Option to use it as a 'Wishlist' type plugin, for Posts (Not WooCommerce), and to go with it;2) A new Block for the Navigation / Menu with a heart (or customisable icon) so we can display all the Posts that have been liked by the visitors, in case they want to come back and carry on reading the previously favorited posts.3) With the above options, a way to remove the counter (no numbers).WordPress have a video somewhere, showing an example of a site reviewing videos, to showcase what will be possible with WP6.5, it's very impressive. All posts have the two states on/off heart icon, and one on the menu. Thank you Roel! Yours truly,Gin

  • Great simple like button

    I've used this plugin to add a simple like button to the posts in my blog, and I'm very happy with the results and functionality. The block is simple to use but has a few very useful settings (like limiting the number of likes per ip per post) and customization option. It doesn't add any unnecessary settings to the admin. And the cherry on top is the excellent support!
