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

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...

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...
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: 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!
