  Hello,

  I am recently observing that readers are able to “like” my homepage. I have however enabled likes and sharing buttons for “posts only” from the Tools section from my dashboard. Likes are not enabled for pages, and my homepage is a page; not a post.

  So far, 3 likes have been obtained on my homepage in this month. Ironically, I myself cannot see any like button on my homepage when I open my blogsite on Incognito mode of Chrome, so I am curious to know why is this behaviour for my homepage for certain users.

  Please advise.

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

  Hi there,

  People can still like your page via the Reader.

  

  That’s how you ended up with those four likes. This is something that can’t be turned off but it’s also really rare.

  Hello @fstat

  That is nice to know. I was unaware and honestly surprised by the behaviour.

  Thankyou! The explanation helps. I guess there is nothing that can be done, but I am more informed now as to why this happens.

  Thanks again!
