WP ULike – Like Buttons, Voting & Engagement Analytics

83 Quality Score

Active Installs

21/30

With 60,000 active installs it is well established but not in the top tier, comfortably behind UserFeedback's 200,000 yet ahead of niche alternatives like Favorites.

Update Freshness

25/25

Last updated June 2026 and tested against WordPress 7.0, so it is current and being actively maintained by the developer.

User Rating

14/15

A 96 out of 100 from 277 reviewers is a strong signal that users are happy with both functionality and stability.

Support Health

8/15

Zero support threads is unusual and could mean either the plugin is so simple that issues rarely arise or that users are not getting help when they need it, making this score a yellow flag worth noting.

WP Compatibility

15/15

Requires WordPress 6.0 and PHP 7.2.5 or higher, covering the vast majority of current WordPress installations without compatibility concerns.

Scores higher than 92% of indexed plugins

What It Does

WP ULike adds lightweight like and dislike buttons to WordPress posts, pages, comments, and custom post types, giving visitors a one-click way to react to content. It ships with a statistics dashboard, leaderboards for top-liked content and users, and built-in privacy tools for GDPR compliance. The plugin is designed to drop in with minimal configuration and start collecting engagement signals within minutes.

Who It's For

This plugin suits publishers, bloggers, online magazines, and membership sites that want a simple, low-friction way to measure which content resonates with readers. It also fits community forums, UGC platforms, and educational sites where quick feedback helps prioritize what to write or curate next. If you want thumbs-up/down reactions without building a full ratings system, WP ULike is a reasonable fit.

Who Should Skip It

If you need rich survey forms, conditional logic polls, or structured feedback collection, WP ULike is too lightweight and you should look at UserFeedback or Survey Maker instead. Sites already running a dedicated community or social platform plugin that includes reactions will not gain much from layering this on top.

The Bottom Line

WP ULike is a focused, well-maintained engagement plugin that does one job and does it well, earning an overall quality score of 83.3 out of 100. Its combination of high user ratings, recent updates, and broad compatibility outweighs the concern around the empty support thread list. It is a solid choice for content sites that want lightweight reactions, though anyone needing surveys or structured polls will find it too minimal.

Pick this if you need full surveys, polls, and structured feedback forms rather than just a like button.

kk Star Ratings – Rate Post & Collect User Feedbacks 81/100

Choose this if you want traditional 5-star ratings on posts and pages instead of a simple like/dislike reaction.

Favorites 79/100

Pick this if your use case is letting logged-in users bookmark and save posts rather than react to them.

Survey Maker by AYS 79/100

Choose this when you need branched, multi-question surveys with logic and detailed reporting.

YOP Poll 79/100

Pick this if your primary goal is running polls on your site rather than tracking per-content reactions.
