Is there anyway to show likes for a post when viewing the topics on homepage and categories etc. I tried this solution but it doesn’t work
That was posted quite a while ago
The Add Likes Column theme component might be what you are looking for
I am using Redditish https://www.carptalk-online.co.uk/ so not sure if thats what i need
Probably not, because that theme overrides the default topic list. Whenever you have something that is already different from the default, it’s likely solutions shared for the default won’t work. This is the reason why it makes sense to tell people when you are asking for help.
I think you’d either need a fork of the theme which supports this, or you ask the author to add this (maybe optional, toggled with a setting).
