Love It is a simple plugin that adds a “Love It” link to your posts, pages, and custom post types. It works similar to Facebook’s Like button, but is exclusive to your website. It provides a great way for users to show their appreciation, and for you to gain a good idea of which posts are your most popular.
The plugin includes a simple widget to show your “Most Loved” items.
This plugin is based of the tutorial I published on creating a simple Love It plugin
The demonstration video for the tutorial and the plugin is below:
An improved Pro version of the plugin is available. Features of the pro version include:
- Show Love It links automatically

- Setup in less than 5 minutes
- Enabled / disable for every registered post type
- Customize the text displayed for links and “already loved” messages
- Users can only love posts/pages once
- Works for logged-in and logged-out users
- Most Loved widget included
- No coding necessary
- Custom CSS option for advanced users
- Embed help documentation in plugin settings
- Easy to use template tags for developers
- Upload love-it to wp-content/plugins
- Click “Activate” in the WordPress plugins menu
- A “Love It” link will be automatically added to the bottom of all posts / pages
- Love It links are displayed to logged-in users only.
Can non-logged-in users Love items?
No, not at this time. The ability for non-logged-in users to Love items with JS cookies will be added to the pro version soon.
Can I enabled the Love It link on only some post types?
In the pro version you can.
