I Recommend This

I Recommend This – Themeist is a plugin for site owners who want to let readers show appreciation for posts with a simple click, no comments required. It adds a recommendation button with a counter to posts, archives, or anywhere via shortcode or template tag. The plugin tracks which content resonates most and lets you display top recommendations using a built-in widget or shortcode.

• Simple Recommendation Counter – Shows the number of recommendations per post, with options to hide the counter when at zero and customize text for zero, one, or multiple recommendations.
• Customizable Look – Choose between thumbs-up or heart icons, and disable plugin CSS for full styling control.
• Flexible Placement – Add the button automatically on posts and archives, or use a shortcode ([irecommendthis]), template tag, or Gutenberg block for manual placement.
• Highlight Popular Posts – Use the widget or shortcode ([irecommendthis_top_posts]) to display most recommended posts, with options for post type, count, and time period.
• Privacy-Friendly Tracking – Uses cookies to prevent duplicate recommendations (no login required). Supports IP address anonymization for GDPR compliance, with an option to disable IP tracking entirely.
• Developer Friendly – Offers 30+ action hooks and filters for customization, template tags with parameters, and is optimized for caching plugins.
