Likes from people not signed up to WordPress

  • gypsypigs · Member ·

    Hi there,
    My site went live last week but people aren’t able to ‘like’ anything on there unless they are either signed up to WordPress or use their email. Is this standard? Seems a bit crazy.

    Thanks

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there!

    Yes, in order to like a blog post a WordPress.com account is needed. Just like any other platform with a like button function (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) you need to be registered and logged in to be able to use it. You can find more info about likes here:

    Add a Like Button

    An option for non-Wordpress visitors could be ratings, please have a look here for more info:

    Ratings Shortcode

    Hope this helps!
