    Disable the Likes System completely

    Hey guys,

    Installed the Like system on our board, but it really wasn't what we were looking for.

    I disable the system but everything still appears. I still have the capability to "like" someones post. The notifications for likes is still present. It does not seem like the system was disabled at all. I basically just want it gone completely.

    The notifications system is driving me nuts. For some reason (I believe because i have a custom style) when i click "Likes Received" from the notifications bar, i am taken to my profile page. I can't even get to the likes page so the notification never goes away.

    Anyone have a similar experience? Any tips to get rid of everything completely? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks!

    vb AdminCP - > Plugins& Products -> Plugin Manager ->

    find
    vBSEO Notifications List
    in the vBSEO heading, and click edit to apply that code change.

    (note, this will be fixed for 3.6.1, or whatever version comes next)

    This plugin edit sort of works. When i click the "2 Likes Recieved" I am sent to my profile... When i go back to my Forum home page the notification goes away. However, when i navigate to another section on the board the "2 New Likes" notification comes back.

    Is this happening because i cannot actually see the "Likes" page? Any way to fix this?

    It might just be a cache issue.

    Try logging off and then closing out the browser and then re-login and see if it is fone.

    Logged off and back on again. Closed the browser and cleared all browsing data (cache, etc). Still pops up

    Anyone have a solution for this? Members are getting a little P/O'd

    At the very least, how can i get the likes page to show on my custom skin?

    Please understand that the likes system is in it's very first iteration and it may not be perfect for all test cases, as you are finding.

    Please open a ticket with login details so our developers can reproduce it on your site and try to find a correct solution.
