Add an applause/like/upvote button to your content. Click counts are stored in your
WordPress database. Votes are tracked by hashed IP address.

By default, an applause button is added to the top and bottom of the post content
area, which can easily be styled with CSS.

Or use a simple shortcode:

    ```
    [applause]
    ```

Or use a simple shortcode with the following available parameters:

    ```
    [applause url="https://example.com/" color="purple"]
    ```

Or use the direct HTML code:

    ```
    <div class="applause"><applause-button url="https://example.com/" color="purple"></applause-button></div>
    ```

Change the icon color with CSS:

    ```
    .applause{color:red}
    ```

## FAQ

### It’s not showing the full like count?

If you’re using caching plugin like WP Rocket, go to **Settings > WP Rocket > Advanced
Rules > Never Cache URL** and add `/wp-json/applause/`. This ensures the like count
API responses are always fresh. Other caching plugins will have a similar setting.
