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
```css
.topic-post.voting-post button {
&.like-count,
&.toggle-like {
display: block;
}
}
```
to display both Votes and Likes
