Like Post Block

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 84% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Refined from the date this plugin crossed into its current band.

No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

   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

   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! This topic was modified 2 years, 5 months ago by evilluendas. Reason: Fixing convoluted wording
