  Hi – sorry, I guess this question might come up a lot.

  People (who don’t have a WordPress account) have mentioned to me that they are not able to ‘like’ my posts.

  I logged out of my account to test it – I visited one of my pages and clicked the like button. A pop-up appeared asking me to log-in or register with WordPress. Ideally I’d like anyone to be able to ‘like’ my posts.

  It’d be great if I could change this – any tips, as ever, will be gratefully received.

  Thanks.

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

  Likes are a built-in function of WordPress that links to your account, so you won’t be able to have unregistered people clicking the Like button: https://en.support.wordpress.com/likes/

  They can use a Facebook or Twitter account to comment, though, if that helps: https://en.support.wordpress.com/facebook-and-twitter-comments/

  Hi there,

  That seems like a bit of a shame, but thanks for clearing that up for me. Much appreciated!
