a member can post but can't 'like' any posts

[Maureen Becker]

I just started a new forum and I have a few members telling me that they can post replies but they can't 'like' a post.

I checked their individual member profile and all their notifications are on.  Couldn't find a permissions area on a member profile other than notifications.

I went to the forum and checked that all the boxes were checked for everyone that they can see forum, answer ,etc.

Where else do I go to fix this issue?  THX.

You will want to ensure that the group in question is able to react to things. This is in ACP -> Members -> Groups -> edit group -> Reactions

Hi @Maureen Becker,

AdminCP -> Members -> Member Settings -> Reputation & Reactions

First check that reputation is enabled and have a look through the other settings to suit your community. If you search for 'reaction' in your AdminCP, you will find some other settings that might be useful too.

Edit: Beat me to it, Jim! 😄

awesome!  So easy!  You just need to know where to look.  Thx so much Jim and Gary!!!

[Gary]

You're welcome!

[Maureen Becker]

well f&ck.  lol   Now the 'like' button has been replaced with a 'thank you' trophy.  Sigh.  Is there a place where I can choose exactly what emoticon reactions they have access to? Not sure why giving them access to reactions would CHANGE the reactions...

[Gary]

You just have to reorder them.

AdminCP -> Members -> Member Settings -> Reputation & Reactions -> Reactions -> Reorder the reactions by click and holding on the burger to the left of each image

That should do it. 😉

THX GARY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why is it that it doesn't give option to 'enable' the like button? Is that because it's a default or something?

[Marc]

It is indeed because its the default item.
