Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

Like buttons and post reactions for WordPress

Most visitors read and leave without commenting, so you never learn what they liked. WP ULike adds one-click voting that takes no effort to use, giving you a clear signal on what resonates. No signup walls, no vote limits, no heavy setup.

Install, activate, and voting goes live on posts. Open WP ULike → Statistics inside WordPress to see totals, top content, growth tips, and when your audience is most active.

Optional IP anonymization, WordPress personal data export/erase, and flexible logging options help you align the plugin with your privacy policy.

WP ULike supports posts out of the box and integrates with WooCommerce, BuddyPress, and bbPress. The frontend uses vanilla JavaScript (no jQuery) and works with major caching plugins.

Engagement analytics, built in

Pageviews tell you who showed up. Reactions tell you who cared. WP ULike ships a real dashboard inside WordPress, so you don’t need a separate analytics tool to read it.

Free includes Overview, growth tips, engagement reports, when-to-publish insights, and vote logs. Dark mode and focus mode are built in.

Pro (optional) adds who liked each post, deeper audience and content reports, and full WooCommerce store insights.

Built for

Bloggers & publishers: See which content earns appreciation, not just traffic.

Online stores: Learn which products visitors value.

Communities: Add voting to forums and activity feeds.

Agencies & developers: Reliable on client sites, quick to deploy, straightforward to maintain.

Free version: complete, no limits

The free plugin is a full voting solution, not a trial. No caps on votes, posts, or usage.

Included with free:

  • Like buttons on posts via auto-display, [wp_ulike] shortcodes, or the ULike Button block
  • Top List block and [wp_ulike_top] shortcode to showcase your most popular posts, comments, users, BuddyPress activities, and bbPress topics
  • Statistics dashboard with Overview, growth tips, engagement reports, publish-timing insights, vote logs, dark mode, and focus mode
  • Button customizer with real-time preview, four button styles, colors, icons, and RTL support
  • Auto-display settings for posts, comments, BuddyPress, bbPress, and WooCommerce
  • Settings backup (JSON export/import) and Site Health table check
  • Privacy tools for user-linked vote data and optional IP anonymization

Regular updates, WordPress coding standards, and security best practices (nonces, hardened AJAX, and more).

WP ULike Pro

Pro is optional. It extends the free plugin when you need more depth or design. Both plugins stay installed and active.

  • Swap likes for emoji reactions or 5-star ratings and pick the reaction style that fits each page
  • See who liked each post and how engaged readers really are (top fans, engagement vs page views)
  • Know what to publish next with content intelligence, heatmaps, and top-country reports
  • Compare likes to sales with full WooCommerce store reports
  • 20 more button styles and Display Automation to match your brand and place buttons without code
  • Rating and FAQ schema published as schema.org markup so search engines can read your ratings

Need profiles, share buttons, bulk vote tools, Elementor widgets, or REST API? Pro includes those too. Compare Free vs Pro for the full list.
