  When my wife tries to like my post, she says it asks her to login to wordpress…I tried it on my cell phone and it asks me the same thing…can I fix this? What if someone likes my post but isn’t registered on wordpress?

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

  Hi there,

  Please note that you must be a logged in WordPress.com user to like a post. You can read more about this here.

  Feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

  Thanks! I know that, but what about someone who isn’t a registered member of wordpress? How can they like a post?? I feel like I am missing a lot of potential likes because who wants to have to register just to like a post?

  If they aren’t a registered member of WordPress.com then they wouldn’t be able to like a post – it was set up this way. However, non-WordPress.com users can share it on Facebook, Twitter etc. (whichever buttons you set up), which would be counted. It’s possible to set it up so that non-WordPress.com users can comment on a post, which you have already done. So, besides just likes there are other ways to interact with you even if the reader is not a WordPress.com user.

  Cheers!
