  Is it possible to delete a “Like”? I have gotten “Likes” that are obviously spam, not bona fide “Likes,” and would like to get rid of them.

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

  I’m sorry but we cannot delete the individual likes others leave on our posts even those that are from obvious like button spammers. All we can do is what’s here.

  How disappointing! Blog owners have less privilege than spammers. I increasingly get “spam likes” from adult content but WordPress would rather have me turn off likes and a valuable source of feedback than fix the problem. Or, is this a means to get subscribers to “upgrade” generating more cash for Matt:( (cheap shot) but very annoyed.

  This has been a long standing problem based on forum comments.
