Plugin Review – WP ULike

Plugin Review – WP ULike

https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-ulike/

Version Tested: V 2.4.2

WP ULike is a WordPress plugin that also supports BuddyPress, bbPress and a number of other plugins, it aims to be a comprehensive “Like” system for your site and enables site users to like a wide range of content types, including posts, forum topics and replies, comments and activity updates.

Installing WP ULike is a case of installing and activating the plugin, following which the plugin will take you to an About page which takes you through getting started. This page gives you a basic introduction to WP ULike and provides the option either to view the statistics that it collects or to go to the settings page.

The settings page is located at Dashboard>>WP ULike>>WP ULike Settings and it is here that you can choose the theme for likes, the location of the like button, display filters, whether guests or only logged in users can like items, information about which users liked the item and their avatar display and a wide range of other options.

Once you have chosen your preferred settings, like buttons will appear for Posts, Comments, in the forum areas and also the BuddyPress areas and WP ULike will start collecting statistics based on who is liking what.

Opening up the DashBoard>>WP ULIike>>WP ULike Statistics page displays all of the statistics gathered for your site, including the total number of likes, a graph of likes over time, the top likers etc. It’s pretty comprehensive though what it does not tell you is the top liked content, which is a shame as this is probably one thing that would be most valuable on a large site.

I find WP ULike to be a very useful plugin and I install it on most sites I help setup, I give this plugin 9 out of 10 as it gives you the ability to like most items that are desired with the exception of media content from plugins such as MediaPress or rtMedia, I suggest that adding these would be of great benefit.

Breaks on update

I speak from the perspective of a developer who was using this tool to work on his professional page. Frankly, a pro version seems out of place and feature sets get bloated, I wouldn't want such features. I want a thumbs up or down, but lately since updating your plug-in stopped displaying [...]correctly. The search continues - DSPplug Read more »

Resolved Issues and Great Communication

I'd like to thank Alimir for sorting a few issues out & keeping communication clear and constant. Appreciate it especially as it's holiday season and pandemic so probably a busy time. Looking forward to more features in this plugin and using your services again in future.

Fits My Needs Exactly

The free plugin fits my needs exactly. The templates, and available css options on the free version are great. Great work by Alimir. I would make a donation if I could (Since I do not need the full paid version)

Exactly what I was looking for!

This plugin is insanely awesome, it not only offers a great way to add ratings to posts, it also lets you show it in many different styles as well!

Great for Buddypress site

I found this plugin to add some extra interaction to the Buddypress wall which doesn't come with like button and it's working out great, people are using it a lot. I am also using it on the site's BBpress forum. There are several ways to display the plugin which is nice, you can have a like or love [...]button. Thanks! Read more »
