Like Dislike, Star Ratings, Favorites & Post Views & Share – Posts, Comments, Products

Like Dislike, Star Ratings, Favorites & Post Views & Share – Posts, Comments, Products is a lightweight, user-friendly plugin that lets users engage with posts, comments, and WooCommerce products using Like, Dislike, Star Rating, Post View Tracking, and Favorites (wishlist-like system).

Built with performance in mind, the plugin uses AJAX for seamless interaction and offers customization for labels, icon colors, display positions, view counters, tooltips, and more.

⚠️ Let op: Het sterwaarderingssysteem voor producten in deze plugin is een zelfgebouwde functionaliteit met een eigen databasetabel, niet de standaard WooCommerce of WordPress waardering/reacties meta. Dit zorgt voor betere prestaties en onafhankelijke controle over waarderingen.
