You can automatically add “likes” to your posts, pages, blog index page, archive pages, and search results by simply enabling them in the ZillaLikes settings. It’s a simple really.

Want to exclude certain pages or posts? You can do that right from the settings page. You can even customise the count postfix to make it say whatever you want (e.g. “x zombies absoultely loved this”). Want more flexibility on where likes appear? No problem. Just use the ZillaLikes shortcode or template tag to literally put likes anywhere on your WordPress site. Oh, and it’ll work even if you’re using a caching plugin – handy!
