  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hi there,

  My understanding is that we cannot delete individual likes others leave on our posts, even ones from obvious like button spammers.

  For confirmation, I marked this for staff attention.

  Hope this helps! :)

  Thanks for the feedback, and thanks for marking for staff attention. We’ll see if they’ve anything to add, but yes, I think you’re probably right. :-(

  Hi there,

  As mentioned, you cannot remove individual likes that another user left on your post. You can disable the like feature of specific pages and posts, but that is the extent of the control you have regarding others’ ability to like.

  For more information on likes, please visit our support page:

  Thanks!
