Don't subtract "dislike" from "like" count?

  • Hey there! I’m trying to use this plugin to have two different “like” options. Is it possible to insert some code on my end such that each button has a separate count? Right now, if it has 4 “likes” and someone clicks “dislike” (which I’ve named something more positive), the “dislike” count stays at 0 and the “like” count drops to 3. I’d rather see them each increase as their own separate counts when each button is clicked. Is that possible?? Thanks!

    The concept is if the voting is done from the same user, then it will just add/subtract from the existing value. So if someone has already liked and then clicks the dislike, then it will simply subtract from the like count. The moment it reaches 0, the count will get negative.That is how the plugin is built. Changing this logic means changing the whole plugin functionality which we will avoid.

    What about when it’s all new users… let’s say 5 vote “Like” and 5 vote “dislike” will it be 5 and 5 or 0?
