Feature Request for Liking Comments

  • Unknown's avatar

    The current state of liking comments is that any person likes a comment and the star turns a different color. This is confusing because the like is not actually registered unless that person has a wordpress.com account and is logged in.

    I think a better way would be a pop-up on the click which describes that an account is needed for someone who is not logged in to wordpress.com.

  • Hi there!

    I’m not sure what exactly do you mean since the pop-up window that prompts you to log into your WordPress.com is precisely what you see if you try to like a post while not logged in.
    Could you send us a screenshot of what you see? You can use an online tool for that (such as https://snipboard.io/), and add the link to your reply.

    Thanks for the reply. I tried this on my iPad (either through Safari or the Brave browser, I can’t remember which one) and that functionality was missing. It sounds like a bug or the feature hasn’t been implemented with support for the iPad/Tablets. I’m running the latest iPadOS version, which is 13.6.1. Thanks!

    I should have clarified in my original post that I used an iPad. Sorry about that.

  • That login pop-up should definitely appear. Are you absolutely sure you were logged out of WordPress.com?

    If you’re using any content blockers, would you please try with those switched off?

    That’s weird, I just tried it again on Safari, Chrome, and the Brave Browser, and all three gave me the login pop-up window. I know I was logged out because I remember after clicking the like button and seeing that nothing happened, I logged in to see what that response would be. Maybe it was a glitch last time I tried it. Thanks for your help!
