By default, a love button is added to the bottom of the post content area, which can easily be styled with CSS.

Or use a simple shortcode:

[love]

Or use a simple shortcode with the following available parameter:

[love url="https://example.com/"]

Or use the direct HTML code (with additional configuration options):

Why does the Love Button exist?

Like/love/upvote/favorite/thumbs up buttons are ubiquitous across social media, YouTube, and blogs, but most of them are proprietary and locked-in to that one website.

The Facebook Like button was a major exception and genius marketing on Meta’s part, as they made it centralized and work universally everywhere. Genius, because this furthered their agenda to spy on people and collect their data.

I looked far and wide to find a privacy-friendly alternative, and quite frankly, there really wasn’t anything good, at least nothing that lasted, so I made my own.

Are likes private?

Yes, at least as private as they possibly can be for centrally-hosted like counts. That said, while I don’t personally collect any data beyond the URLs and like counts, Cloudflare (which hosts the API and database) probably collects some additional data internally.
