EffectIO Post Like 1.0.0

Description:

Simple Post Like is a lightweight, developer-friendly WordPress plugin that adds a clean like button to your posts. It has no bloat, no jQuery and no theme dependency, and it works with any theme. The button appears as a button with a label, as an icon with a counter, or as an icon only.

Placement is configured from a settings page in the WordPress admin. On single posts the button auto-injects before content, after content, in both positions, or not at all. Archive injection places like buttons on blog index, category, tag and search pages. A shortcode handles manual placement anywhere and accepts post_id and style attributes. Guest likes are optional and tracked by a SHA-256 hashed IP, so no raw IPs are stored.

A statistics dashboard reports total likes, posts with likes and a most liked posts leaderboard, and the posts list gains a sortable Likes column. CSS custom properties let you restyle the button entirely from your theme without editing plugin files. The code is pure vanilla JavaScript with PHP 8.0 or higher, PSR-4 autoloading, type hints and a singleton pattern, and the plugin requires WordPress 6.8 or higher. It suits site owners who want simple, intuitive reactions on their posts and developers who want a focused, well-built feature.

The vendor’s own page for Post Like has the full details.
