"like" button on first post

Product Support

AI-generated summary

The “like” button is missing from the first post of threads on a forum. Jason_Harding requested help to enable the “like” button, as users have expressed the desire for this feature. Moin pointed out that the #voting plugin may be causing the issue, as it automatically deactivates likes in categories where it is activated. Jason_Harding confirmed that the voting plugin is enabled on their site, and asked if the fix is something an admin can handle or if a developer is needed. dax provided a solution, suggesting to add a CSS code snippet to the Admin > Customize > Theme > CSS to display both Votes and Likes.

I had a look through the forum and I am just not getting the answer back I am looking for.

The first post in any thread does not have a “like” button on my forum. Subsequent posts all have the heart as they should. Users have requested a “like” for the first post.

Not sure how to enable it, Can someone point me in the correct direction?

TIA
Jason

Do you use the #voting plugin?

Hi @Moin

Yes, we do have voting enabled. although I do not think we use it to its full advantage. I am not a developer by any stretch just an admin on the site. Is this something I can update or is this something I should engage our developer for?

is there a help document to let me have a look at where the changes need to be made?

Thanks in advance
Jason

In your Admin > Customize > Theme > CSS, add

.topic-post.voting-post button {
  &.like-count,
  &.toggle-like {
    display: block;
  }
}

to display both Votes and Likes
