It works similar to Facebook’s Like button, but is exclusive to your website. It provides a great way for users to show their appreciation, and for you to gain a good idea of which posts are your most popular. The plugin includes a simple widget to show your “Most Loved” items. This plugin is based of the tutorial I published on [creating a simple Love It plugin](http://pippinsplugins.com/write-a-love-it-plugin-with-ajax/) The demonstration video for the tutorial and the plugin is below: An improved Pro version of the plugin is [available](https://pippinsplugins.com/love-it-pro/). Features of the pro version include: * Show Love It links automatically * Track your most popular posts, pages, and custom post types * Setup in less than 5 minutes * Enabled / disable for every registered post type * Customize the text displayed for links and “already loved” messages * Users can only love posts/pages once * Works for logged-in and logged-out users * Most Loved widget included * No coding necessary * Custom CSS option for advanced users * Embed help documentation in plugin settings * Easy to use template tags for developers ## Installation 1. Upload love-it to wp-content/plugins 2. Click “Activate” in the WordPress plugins menu 3. A “Love It” link will be automatically added to the bottom of all posts / pages 4. Love It links are displayed to logged-in users only. ## FAQ Can non-logged-in users Love items? No, not at this time. The ability for non-logged-in users to Love items with JS cookies will be added to the [pro](https://pippinsplugins.com/love-it-pro/) version soon. Can I enabled the Love It link on only some post types? In the [pro](https://pippinsplugins.com/love-it-pro/) version you can. ## Reviews ![](https://secure.gravatar.com/avatar/7981f9f9fc684401b72fe79baf91d83792f3b7ebf00997ff1065c6b3e4af9098? s=60&d=retro&r=g) ### 󠀁[Love it is very useful for my visitors](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/love-it-is-very-useful-for-my-visitors/)󠁿 [St Nowak](https://profiles.wordpress.org/st-nowak/) February 7, 2017 Like or dislike functions is very impotent for estimate of my site information.
