Enables a simple like/unlike feature to be added to posts, pages, etc. There is no dislike feature. You are expected to style it however you like so it matches your theme; it has none of its own CSS. There is also no admin page or options for this plugin.
Add the like button to your template using the included PHP function:
<?php post_likerator(); ?>
By default it will use the current post ID and echo the like button’s markup. You can change this by passing (integer) Post ID and (boolean) echo arguments to the function:
<?php $like_button = post_likerator(2501, false); ?>
The above will attribute likes to post ID 2501 and will assign the string of markup to the $like_button variable instead of echoing it.
Once you’ve got it looking awesome, click to like the post…
