Q: Using REST API: Posting a Dislike vote registers it as a Like, whereas using PUT correctly records the Dislike.
Hello WP ULike team, I’m using the WP ULike Pro REST API to submit votes. When creating a new “Dislike” vote via POST to /wp-json/wp-ulike-pro/v1/vote, the plugin incorrectly registers it as a Like (or “unlike”). Updating that same vote with PUT correctly logs the Dislike. This prevents first‑time Dislike votes from being recorded properly via the API.
Whenever I send a POST request to /wp-json/wp-ulike-pro/v1/vote with: { "item_id": 90363, "user_id": 89, "type": "post", "status": "Dislike" } the vote is logged as a Like (or “unlike”) instead of a Dislike. However, sending the identical payload via PUT updates it correctly to a Dislike. Is this a known issue? What’s the recommended way to create a new Dislike vote via the API?
Hello, what is happening with the plugin since it has filled the entire CPU with a million processes, making it impossible to work on the server? Only disabling the plugins brought relief from the background processes that were consuming the entire processor and allowed work to continue. The operator restarted the server and it did nothing; only disabling both plugins enabled further work. Is this huge problem known to you? Best regards, AdAlbert
Thank you for reaching out. We’re really sorry to hear about this issue, and we understand how frustrating it must be. Please know that we take performance very seriously, and we'd love to get to the bottom of this as soon as possible.
So far, we haven't received similar reports, and WP ULike is designed to be lightweight and efficient—in fact, all queries in the plugin are cached to avoid excessive database load. However, high CPU usage can sometimes be triggered by:
* A conflict with another plugin that might be running queries or hooks unexpectedly. * A caching issue, where processes are being repeated due to cache conflicts. * A large number of simultaneous requests (e.g., bots or unexpected traffic spikes). * Server-side configurations that may not be optimized for handling certain background processes.
To investigate further, we’d really appreciate it if you could submit a support request with more details. If possible, sending us server logs would help identify whether this is related to SQL performance, a specific function in WP ULike, or an external conflict.

Q: Opening up to other builders and themes?
Is the plan to open up to other builders and themes with integration other than Elementor? I'm not interested in an Elementor only plugin or one than needs to use shortcodes unless it's with Elementor. Can you explain if you're only going to integrate with Elementor and shortcodes for th rest or ypu plan proper integration with other top builders and themes?
A: It’s on our roadmap, but some other features have a bit more priority right now. If you have a specific builder in mind, though, let us know—we’d love to hear your thoughts!
Hey, I was thinking about Bricks, GeneratePress, Kadence and Bricksy.
Q: Reviews System
Hi, I’m considering purchasing WP ULike Pro for my WordPress site, which features both games and stories. I know that like/dislike functionality can be applied to comments, but I’d like to know if it’s possible to separate the rating system per CPT. Specifically:
Can I have likes/dislikes for one CPT (e.g., games) and a star rating/review system for another CPT (e.g., stories)? Is it possible to integrate the star rating system into the comments while keeping the like/dislike system separate? Can this be achieved using hooks, shortcodes, or custom implementation methods? I’d like to ensure that I can isolate these rating types for different content structures and also incorporate the star rating into comments alongside or instead of likes/dislikes.
Just to clarify—when you mention “star rating,” do you mean our single star rating template or a full 5-star rating/review system? If it’s the 5-star system, we don’t support that at the moment.
However, you can definitely specify different templates for each CPT, so you can have likes/dislikes for one and a star rating for another. Plus, we’re about to release a new feature that lets users share feedback, including pros and cons!
If you have more questions or need help setting it up, feel free to ask!
Thank you for the info! The part about users being able to express cons and pros is great! The star rating with 5 stars would be a boon for WpUlike as this would allow it to be integrated into many more sites. For example, on book sites
Q: You don't have agency plan, right? with Unlimited websites ?
Q: Can I control first time redirect URL after a social signup?
I'm mainly interested in this to add social login and sign up to my site!
If someone uses social sign up can I specify a first-time user redirect URL page? I like to send new site members to an onboarding quiz on their first login to provide us with additional user information.
A: By default, specifying a first-time user redirect URL for social sign-ups is not available. However, our support team would be happy to assist you with this. If you reach out to us, we can provide a custom code solution tailored to your needs at no additional cost.
Feel free to contact our support team, and we’ll ensure this is set up for you smoothly. 😊
Would you consider reviewing the perks of this deal? It does not create a compelling proposition to attract me to buy. Too limited features / application and too limited sites (3) it seems. Do you want to convince us why we should stake on this?
A: Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! We totally get where you’re coming from. This deal is actually quite flexible—you start with 3 sites, but you can easily upgrade to a higher tier if you need more.
We’ve packed it with powerful features like detailed engagement stats, advanced customization, and seamless integrations, so there’s a lot of value here! If there’s anything specific you’re looking for or features you’d like to see, let us know—we’d love to help make WP ULike Pro the perfect fit for you. 😊
Q: Compatibilidad con formularios, idioma español y tema Divi
1.Formularios personalizados: Si uso un formulario de registro/inicio de sesión de otro plugin en vez del que proporciona WP ULike, ¿seguirá funcionando correctamente el sistema de usuarios?
2.Optimización para español: ¿La interfaz del plugin está completamente traducida y optimizada para mostrarse en español, tanto en el front-end como en el back-end?
3.Compatibilidad con Divi: ¿El plugin es compatible con el tema Divi? ¿Se pueden usar shortcodes para agregar las funciones a plantillas creadas con Divi?
A: 1- ¡Sí, es completamente compatible! 2- No, el plugin no está completamente traducido al español por defecto, pero puedes traducir la interfaz en el panel de configuración. También somos compatibles con WPML, así que traducirlo es fácil. 3- ¡Sí, puedes usar nuestros shortcodes en cualquier lugar!
A: Yes, WP ULike Pro is compatible with other page builders; however, we don't have specific widgets designed for them. That said, you can easily use our shortcodes anywhere within your page builder to integrate and enjoy the plugin's features seamlessly.
I'm currently frustrated with Google Analytics and specifically I'm unable to measure campaign success using Google's own UTM builder. The UTMs aren't showing up in GA4. I'm also considering purchasing Betterlinks for WordPress. Can you confirm if UTMs can be created in this program?
A: WP ULike Pro supports UTMs on profile pages, so you can track your campaigns without any trouble. As for BetterLinks, we’re not too familiar with it, so it’s best to check with their team to be sure.
Do you have widgets that show on user profile their engagement activity? Great to have all this info as admin, but would be nice if users can also see what pages they have engaged on.
A: While we don’t have a dedicated widget for this, you can achieve the same result on your profile builder using our specific shortcodes to display user engagement activity. This way, users can see the pages they've interacted with directly on their profiles.
As for the bookmark feature: We don’t have plans to add a separate bookmark functionality, but you can already use WP ULike as a bookmark system by leveraging the voting feature to mark and track favorite items.
A: WP ULike is optimized for performance with built-in caching to ensure minimal impact on page speed. While assets are loaded on all pages by default, you can disable them on specific pages if needed. Let us know if you’d like assistance with optimization!
A: Yes, you can use WP ULike Pro to enable social media login in your store! If you don’t want to use our default login form, you can integrate our social login directly into the WooCommerce default login using the [wp_ulike_pro_social_login] shortcode.
Additionally, we can provide you with a hook to place the social login feature anywhere in the cart or checkout process. Let us know how you’d like to set it up, and we’ll assist you! https://docs.wpulike.com/article/63-social-logins-settings
A: We don’t currently have a dedicated widget for the Divi Builder, but you can absolutely use our button shortcode to add voting functionality wherever you want, including product template pages. https://docs.wpulike.com/article/20-shortcodes
A: Absolutely! WP ULike works seamlessly with WooCommerce and can be a powerful tool to promote your products. By enabling voting for your products, you can highlight the most popular items, build social proof, and encourage more customer engagement.
A: If you're using our shortcodes or Elementor widgets on a specific page, sorting posts based on votes is absolutely possible!
For archive pages or layouts built with your theme or other builders, sorting posts by votes can also be achieved, but it might require some custom code snippets. No need to stress—we can provide the documentation to guide you through it. Just share your setup, and we’ll help you make it work!
A: Yes, with WP ULike Pro, you can display voting results in detailed charts, complete with various filters for enhanced insights. https://wpulike.com/blog/wp-ulike-pro-statistics/
Currently, displaying voting results in charts is not possible out of the admin stats. However, you can use our Stats API to implement a custom solution that fits your needs. This allows you to output the data on the front end for users and tailor it to your specific requirements.
Q: I can embed everything via iframe or script?
My backend is WP and runs on a server but my frontend is static WP site hosted on a CDN.
A: You can use our REST API instead! Since WP ULike is not a SaaS service, embedding via iframe or script won't work. All the data is stored directly in your database, so using our API allows you to interact with your data seamlessly, regardless of where your frontend is hosted.
How does the functionality of schema generation work? I installed the free version, and enabling voting did not add the schema to the page, and your website offering a 'demo' does not have such schemas. How can I check how the schema will be generated once voting is enabled?
A: The schema generation feature is only available in the Pro version of WP ULike. Due to Google's limitations on star reviews (aggregate ratings), it works only for specific types of content and requires manual activation for each post. Here’s how it works:
1- Pro Feature: Schema generation is not included in the free version. To access this functionality, you need the Pro version of WP ULike.
2- Manual Activation: In the Pro version, schema generation must be enabled manually for each post through the WP ULike meta box on the post edit screen.
3- Content-Type Limitation: This feature works for specific content types compatible with Google’s schema guidelines for aggregate ratings.
4- Demo Example: As a demonstration, you can scan the following post using Google’s Rich Results Test to see a working example with the "Software Application" schema structure: https://wpulike.com/blog/wordpress-rich-snippets-generator/
5- Verification: Once you enable schema generation for a post, you can verify it using Google’s testing tools to ensure it’s correctly implemented.
