Hi @slow007 !
We have early support for this, but you have to be able to edit a constant in your wp-config.php file to enable it. You will find this file in the root of your WP install. Add the following to it:
define( 'ACTIVITYPUB_DISABLE_REACTIONS', false );
A few notes:
- There is no way to display these on the frontend of your blog, yet (this is a main reason why it’s not yet enabled by default)
- Likes and Reposts will appear as a type of comment. You can at least see these in wp-admin.
- We already have this enabled for WordPress.com users 🙂
Once we’ve addressed the first issue, and generally cleaned things up a bit more, we’ll enable this by default.
Alright, thank you, that works. Is there a plan to make favoriting other peoples posts possible too, or is there maybe already a way to do that?
That you can send likes from your blog?
We already implemented replies, so this is technically possible. I would love to extend the Link-Overlay of WordPress to do that, but sadly this is not yet possible: https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/11599
Maybe we will implement something to fill the gap until it is possible, but there is no timeline for that yet.
Yeah, i meant sending likes from the blog.
OK, thank you both for the help.
~~Another question: When i recieve a “like” comment.. should i approve it? I guess not? Should i do anything else with it or just keep it “pending”?~~
OK never mind, i guess i can just approve and it doesn’t show up as an actual comment, nice.

Hey @slow007 👋
for now, likes and reposts will not show up anywhere, but @mattwiebe is working on a block to show the likes in the frontend: https://github.com/Automattic/wordpress-activitypub/pull/1070
