WP Applaud

Description

Hey there!

Do you have blogger-brain? We do. We think a lot about our content. We wonder how well it’s doing, what our readers have to say, is it good enough. But, instead of struggling with analytics, we wanted a simple way of tracking our content’s performance. And what better way to do that then a simple, social-media-like feature to get the job done!

Lo, and behold, – the WordPress Applaud plugin – WP Applaud

Our simple plugin adds a cool “clap” feature on your WordPress blog. (Just like Medium)

For every article, a reader can clap to show their appreciation towards the post. The more the claps, the more they like a post. Think of it as an upvote, a like, or a heart, shown —simply, elegantly, and professionally— as a clap.

Make your blog more interactive, get instant feedback about your posts, with the awesome WP Applaud plugin.

Features

• The plugin adds an applaud functionality to your website (similar to Medium)
• The applaud option can be added to a “post”, “page” or archive page
• A user can applaud multiple times
• The applaud count is tracked using cookies
• Data is stored instantly without reload using AJAX
• You could add a custom title to the applaud action
• You can use the plugin with custom templates
• The plugin offers a widget that lists most applauded posts

It doesn’t show on my toolbar. I don’t know how to configure it. Also, there is virtually no support. Has anyone had better luck with this?

Anyone can applaoud without even without login

1. User is able to applaud without login 2. If the user opens the website/page/blog from same IP address but another browser or incognito browser user is able to add applauds, Means anyone can add fake applaud
