Like button not displayed where it should be

    I’d really like to use your plugin, but when I enable it with my theme Seedlet, the like button sits hard up against the left-hand side of my site rather than in the post metadata area beneath the post.

    Is there some CSS or something you can recommend to fix that?

    Note: I haven’t got the plugin enabled at the moment.

    Hello @chrislt ,

    Thank you for writing in. As you had explained that you haven’t enabled our plugin but to check the issue we would need the plugin enabled. Do you have any dev site where you can enable the plugin and provide us the URL?

    Thanks.

    Sorry, I’ve re-enabled it at chrislt.art. I don’t want to leave it up too long, though, because it doesn’t look right.

    You’ll see the heart is over to the left (hard up against the side of the screen) of each post’s metadata.

    I want it to appear within the metadata.

    Also:

    • I’d prefer not to enable Fontawesome, but when I use the setting to disable it, I don’t see any heart at all.
    • When I click the heart twice, I see a ‘0’, despite not having the setting Display 0(Zero) by default set.

    I look forward to your reply!

    Hello @chrislt ,

    Thank you for your reply and thank you for enabling it again. We could check the issue and it is occurring due to some CSS conflict with your existing theme’s styles. To fix the issue, please add below CSS code in your backend’s Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS field.

    .pld-like-dislike-wrap.pld-template-2 {
        display: block;
    }

    You can disable the fontawesome if the fontawesome is already loaded in your website and if you don’t want to use the fontawesome then you can defintely upload your own custom image using the custom image by choosing the custom template as shown in the screenshot below.

    Thank you! That worked.

    A few more questions:

    • I haven’t enabled the setting Display 0(Zero) by default. For a post that hasn’t yet had a like, if I click the icon, a count of “1” appears. If I click it again, the count changes to “0” (instead of disappearing). With the setting not being enabled, I would have expected the count to disappear again instead of changing to “0”. Not a big deal, but I wonder whether this should be the case.
    • I haven’t enabled the setting Hide Counter Info Metabox, but I can’t see, in WP Admin, where the info metabox appears. I sort of expected there to be a like count next to each post on the Posts page, but maybe this appears somewhere else?
    • Is there a way to reset the like counts for all posts?

    Hello @chrislt ,

    We are glad that the solution that we had provided worked. Here are your other replies in same order.

    1. Yes, currently we are just decreasing the count number and not checking if the Display 0 option but we will try to incorporate this feature in our next update.
    2. Currently the Counter Info Metabox is displayed inside the post edit screen.

    3. Currently we don’t have the option to reset all the likes/dislikes count but if you have your db access then please run the below query in your server’s phpmyadmin interface. We will try to have an option to do this within in our plugin’s interface in our future updates.

    DELETE FROM wp_postmeta WHERE meta_key LIKE 'pld_like_count'

    Please note that you might need to change wp_postmeta table name as per the table created in your database.

    Thanks.

    A couple more questions:

    • What exactly does Fontawesome do? Does it pull in just the required icons from an API? Or does it save a whole set to my server? I’m just wondering about privacy (for my visitors), too. Does it collect any personal data?
    • I tried using a custom image instead and the above CSS didn’t work for that. I think the class name needs to be changed. Can you provide the right CSS for a custom image?

    Thanks!
