Fake reactions functionality allows you to display a certain starting number of reactions for every post,
so you don’t have to start from 0. This can be set globally or locally for every post.
Use Auto-Calculation
Automatic reactions calculation gets into account post publish date. At first reactions, the counter won’t be equal to the value you set as Fake reaction count base (see below) but will be only 10% of it. The counter will reach the final value after 30 days which makes it look more natural during post lifetime.
Global Setup
To enable auto-calculation, please do as follows:
- Go to the WP Dashboard › Settings › What’s Your Reaction page
- Choose the Fakes tab
- Set the Fake reaction count base option to a number to set it globally
- Set the Fake reaction count base option to empty to disable it
Single Post Setup
To set it up for a particular post, please:
- Go to a post edition screen, and find the Fake reactions meta box just below the main post content
- Set Fake reactions count to empty if you want the global setting to be used
- Set Fake reactions count to a number to set it up individually for a post
Disable For New Submissions
To disable fake reactions for new posts submitted from the frontend (requires Snax plugin), please:
- Go to the WP Dashboard › Settings › What’s Your Reaction page
- Choose the Fakes tab
- Set the Disable or new submissions option to yes
