Title: Like button 'Loading…' Last modified: August 20, 2016 --- # Like button 'Loading…' * Resolved [tfindley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tfindley/) * (@tfindley) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/like-button-loading/) * I have enabled the new ‘Like’ button for my posts. When I view the post (both as a registered user and as a anonymous user) the button appears greyed out with the text ‘Loading…’ next to it. * Firebug code reports the following: * ```

Like this:

Like Loading...
``` * I can replicate this using Firefox and Chrome. WordPress has W3 Total Cache ( with Amazon CDN) enabled, and Bulletproof Security. * Regards * [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/jetpack/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 35 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/like-button-loading/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/like-button-loading/page/3/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/like-button-loading/page/2/?output_format=md) * [thGhostInnkeeper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thghostinnkeeper/) * (@thghostinnkeeper) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/like-button-loading/#post-3509397) * I have the same problem. * Thread Starter [tfindley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tfindley/) * (@tfindley) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/like-button-loading/#post-3509403) * What theme are you running? Mine is a GoodLayers theme (The Gallery). Also, what plugins have you got installed? There might be something we’re both running that is causing this. * [thGhostInnkeeper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thghostinnkeeper/) * (@thghostinnkeeper) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/like-button-loading/#post-3509405) * My theme is Elemine and I’ve installed only Jetpack 2.2 [http://theghostinnkeeper.com/blog/uncategorized/hello-world/](http://theghostinnkeeper.com/blog/uncategorized/hello-world/) I had activated the gravatar-like plugin, but I deleted it as soon as I installed Jetpack.

Could you fix your theme, and let me know if that helps? * [@tfindley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tfindley/) Could you post your site URL here, so I can have a look? * If you want it to remain private, you can also contact us via this contact form: [http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service](http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service) * [thGhostInnkeeper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thghostinnkeeper/) * (@thghostinnkeeper) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/like-button-loading/#post-3509450) * Hi Jeremy! I’ve checked: the tags are present – in the file footer.php Maybe the problem is in the single.php I’ll try to verify. However, everything works fine – except the button. * [pawparazzo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pawparazzo/) * (@pawparazzo) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/like-button-loading/#post-3509460) * I’m experiencing the same issue with the Like button greyed out and showing only,“ Loading …” The issue is intermittent. Some pages show the [Like “loading..”](http://www.pawparazzo.com/portfolio-items/charlie-the-yellow-lab/), others [display the Like button properly](http://www.pawparazzo.com/portfolio-items/porcupines-nose-hill-calgary/). * I have confirmed that our theme (using Avada theme) does have the closing and tags in place. * This LIKE feature is a fantastic plus – sure would like to get it working properly. Any feedback is much appreciated. * [notawoodpecker](https://wordpress.org/support/users/notawoodpecker/) * (@notawoodpecker) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/like-button-loading/#post-3509464) * > This LIKE feature is a fantastic plus – * Yeah, now if we could get included in the .com Reader ……. * I thought I read somewhere it was supposed to be working, but it isn’t. Maybe it’s a future thing. * [thGhostInnkeeper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thghostinnkeeper/) * (@thghostinnkeeper) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/like-button-loading/#post-3509467) * Problem solved!… At least, so it seems. I deactivated Jetapack. Then I turned off my theme (Elemin) and I chose another one (Twenty Twelve). I checked the button “Like this” was in place. Then I deactivated Twenty twelve and I reactivated Elemin. Now the Like button works. * [waffenss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waffenss/) * (@waffenss) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/like-button-loading/#post-3509470) * Mine work for post, but in my separate video section of theme is says loading constantly * [mortenandersen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mortenandersen-1/) * (@mortenandersen-1) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/like-button-loading/#post-3509493) * Same issue. Cannot get the Likes button to work. I have also checked that I have both the body and html closing tags.

But your posts won’t appear in the Topic Pages, since these pages only list WordPress.com posts. * [@waffenss](https://wordpress.org/support/users/waffenss/) Could you post your site URL here, so I can have a look? * If you want it to remain private, you can also contact us via this contact form: [http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service](http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact/?jetpack=needs-service) * [@mortenandersen](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mortenandersen/) The Likes module doesn’t seem to be active on your site at the moment. Could you try to go to the Jetpack menu, and activate the module? * [pawparazzo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pawparazzo/) * (@pawparazzo) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/like-button-loading/#post-3509501) * **[@jeremy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeremy/) Herve**: Thanks for the feedback – but – oddly, I am still seeing the “[Like Loading..](http://www.pawparazzo.com/portfolio-items/charlie-the-yellow-lab/)” on the one page that we listed above. When you indicated that you were able to LIKE both those links, I thought perhaps it was a browser issue (Was using Safari 6.0.2) .. so tried it on FireFox and Chrome – but no joy – the LIKE still indicates Loading.. * I see that you were able to LIKE the other page that did load properly, but the problem page does not show your “Like” and still displays “Loading..” for us. Strange indeed. * Thread Starter [tfindley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tfindley/) * (@tfindley) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/like-button-loading/#post-3509502) * [@jeremy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeremy/) Herve My site is: [http://tfindley.co.uk](http://tfindley.co.uk) the plugin is only enabled on posts, so go to news * I tried [@thghostinnkeeper](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thghostinnkeeper/)‘ s solution and that unfortunately did not work. * Plugin Author [Jeremy Herve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeherve/) * (@jeherve) * Jetpack Mechanic 🚀 * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/like-button-loading/#post-3509503) * [@pawparazzo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pawparazzo/) Although I can click the Like button, when I reload the page my Like disappears. Strange… Could you try to disable all cache plugins on your site, and let me know if it helps? * [@tfindley](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tfindley/) Could you also try to disable your cache plugins? * I noticed that both of you use CloudFront to serve some of the resources on your site, and I wonder if that could be what’s causing the problem.
