No functionality at all – could it be due to directory?

It should not be a problem if you move it correctly. Can you please check with the default theme? Also please share your site url and the theme you are using to make it easier for me to check the issue.

Thanks for responding so fast.

With the default theme, the thumbs up appears, but when I click I just get a constantly spinning loading gif and the number does not update or change. I’ve updated back to my theme to show how it appears for me. I am not so much concerned with the appearance (I am comfortable changing that all with CSS) but the functionality doesn’t seem to be enabled at all.

Please note this site is under construction and not live to anyone right now so ignore any content.

You need to put some content in the post as this plugin works with post content. Also if your theme uses excerpts, then the like/unlike buttons will not come up.

Also can you switch back to the default theme just for 10-15 minutes for me to check the processing issue, then you can switch back to your own theme.

I switched to default theme and added more content. It already had a few words in it though.

I found that its a problem with your directory structure. Its not getting the correct path to the file for processing the like activity. If you are aware about PHP coding, then I can guide you to fix this. If not, put this thing on the plugin page of my site.

I’m somewhat familiar with PHP but not an expert. Alternatively, would a reinstall of WordPress on my root directory solve this? I have not launched the site officially yet so this is an option for me.

I’ve done a re-install, the code now works in the default theme but I’m having the same problem when I use my custom theme. I don’t know how to make the thumbs up appear. Is my CSS hiding it or something?

As I said, the theme might be showing post excerpts on the home page. So the plugin does not work over there. You can check the post details page to see whether that one is correctly working or that’s also having some problem.

When I check on your site (given above) I don’t see my plugin in action rather you are using some other plugin. So do I still need to look into this issue? If yes, please let me know the theme you are using or share it so that I can check the home page.

Thanks — it was always showing the full post, not excerpts. I still couldn’t get it to work so I ended up finding a different plugin to use. Thanks for trying to help — I’m sure it’s something to do with my theme being created from scratch.
