  Visitors are asked to log in to WordPress when they select “Like” on one of my pages. My site is:
  https://carlosfinephotography.wordpress.com/index-home/

  I made sure the following were unchecked:
  ….Comment author must fill out name and e-mail
  ….Users must be registered and logged in to comment

  Both of the visitors that had that problem don’t belong to a social network like Facebook and they don’t desire to do so either.

  Can someone help?

  Hi there – WPcom Likes and comments are not the same. Likes can only be made by logged in WordPress.com users.

  From this Support doc:

  Note: You must be logged into WordPress.com in order to use the Like button.

  Aw, shucks! That’s not what I wanted to hear. I’m hoping I can remove the “Like” button so that it’s not a temptation to the users. I wonder if that can be done?

  Yes, of course. You can learn how to do so on that same Support doc I linked to in my first reply.
