    Hi,

    Looks like a great plugin — I was wondering, does this work on BuddyPress groups forums as well, or is it only for the full bbPress forums?

      Hello David,
      The plugin only works for bbPress. I haven’t tried to port to BuddyPress group forums.

    This would be awesome on Buddypress group forums (one of the most common ways the forums are implemented).

    I wonder if there’s anyway to integrate with CubePoints so that if someone get’s liked in the forum they get some extra points.

    Do people get email notification if someone likes their stuff?

    Hello Jordan,
    Thanks for your opinion, it would be great to do the plugin compatible with both forum systems, but currently I don’t have enough free time to do it. Maybe in the future!

    CubePoints sounds interesting to implement in the plugin, I will take a look.

    It should not be difficult to develop an optional email notification and integration with BuddyPress activity stream. I add these features to the TODO list.

    Regards!

    Hello Jordi ,

    You have done an awesome plugin. I like to know, if a dislike button is possible with this. Please let me know about it.

    Thank You!

      Hello Aswin,
      Thanks for using the plugin. A dislike button would be possible in next releases, but there are other features I would like to include before.
      Regards

      Hello Jerson,
      Probably you have installed version 1.2, that has a bug on plugin activation.
      Please upgrade to latest version of the plugin.
      Regards

          Hello Natalie,

          Please be sure that you uninstall and install de plugin. The version 1.3 fixes this issue, but in order to work the plugin has to be newly installed.

          Let me know if your problem was solved.
          Regards

    This would be a great plugin if it posted the number of likes next to the thumb (like Facebook, YouTube). Any plans to implement that in the future?

      Thanks Mark,
      The plugin has this feature since version 1.2. Check the plugin options to enable the printing of likes counter.

    Hi Jordy,
    this is a very nice plugin, i like it very much. Now i have a problem with the tooltip for displaying the people who have liked a reply, even when the option is enabled nothing appears. I did not resolve any JS errors or something else, what could be wrong?

    thanks in advance
    Fina
