  Is there a way to remove a ‘Like’ from a post?

  Thanks,
  Elizabeth

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  I’m sorry but that isn’t possible, unless you are referring to a post on another blogger’s blog that you clicked the like button on. In that case you can simply click the “like” button again and it will be removed but you cannot remove another blogger’s “like”.

  Add a Like Button

  You’re welcome. :)

  P.S. Will you please be kind enough to enter the top of the thread and mark it “resolved” ?

  Does anyone know how to remove a ” like” on a posting, the Like person’s blog has been shut down by wordpress. But apparently they can still like blogs? Any ideas? I don’t want readers to click their button.

  Sadly there is not way to remove a “like” that we did not ourselves click to create. Despite the fact the other person may no longer have a blog, username accounts are never deleted.

  Sorry Timethief, I didn’t realize I needed to mark it resolved. Thanks again :)

  SusanN, that was the reason I wanted to remove the ‘like’ on my blog. I didn’t want my followers clicking on their link. Their content was unsuitable.

  @elizabethre

  Their content was unsuitable.

  Just in case Staff will intervene in this case I have flagged this thread for Staff attention.

  Thanks. I had hoped that since WordPress removed their blog for unsuitable content, that I could somehow have the ability to remove that person’s like. I hope the staff finds a solution as I don’t think I am the only one having this problem.

  @ elizabethre same reason here. I’m perhaps a little luckier than your “like” as WordPress removed their blog. Here’s hoping there is a control that can be added, just like we can approve comments, perhaps a control to remove unsuitable “likes” Fingers crossed!

  Timethief, their like leads to their gravatar and email address, not their blog.( http://en.gravatar.com/tearmatt )

  I found the blog (wanted to reciprocate) via the notification email I received when they clicked, like. Not my cup of tea!

  I just wanted to know for future need.

  Thanks,
  Elizabeth
