Yes, I previously didn’t see it while logged in, and it didn’t work under the admin account either.

yea i just noticed it under the other users. i wonder if it has anything to do with the screenshot in that post. but very odd indeed. can you see anything in the console if you inspect the post footer area where one would expect the like icon?

~~On your site there’s no button, it’s not even hidden:  
 ~~

EDIT: oops, it was there under `double-button`

I see the other posts in that category also don’t have the like button… do we suppress the like buttons on voting posts?

Ah! Yes, we do:

> [@Discourse Topic Voting](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-topic-voting/40121/1):
>
> > ℹ In the categories where the Voting plugin is activated, Likes are automatically deactivated. Some sites may want to use both functions at the same time to like replies, see [how to re-enable Likes](https://meta.discourse.org/t/show-both-like-and-vote-button-on-topics/101252/2).

Though I’m not sure if the CSS workaround recommended will work. If it doesn’t, it seems like [enabling Reactions will make it show](https://meta.discourse.org/t/discourse-topic-voting/40121/311).

Thank you all. I successfully made it appear by adding a CSS component.

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

```
