</div>

```js
// Removing the `like` button
api.removePostMenuButton("like");
// And adding it again
api.decorateWidget("post-menu:before-extra-controls", (dec) => {
  return dec.attach("discourse-reactions-actions", {

```

Instead of doing this 🔼 we should add a `replacePostMenuButton` method in core plugin api and use it in reactions plugin. In that case, we don’t need a separate logic for reaction button in post voting plugin.

Since there is a workaround, I will make this change after the upcoming release.
