 * If you look at the code the top of post-like.php contains
 *     ```
       Name:  WordPress Post Like System
       Description:  A simple and efficient post like system for WordPress.
       Version:      0.5.2
       Author:       Jon Masterson
       Author URI:   http://jonmasterson.com/

       ```
   
 * Compare that to the minimum required [https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-basics/header-requirements/#minimum-fields](https://developer.wordpress.org/plugins/plugin-basics/header-requirements/#minimum-fields)
 * Plugin Name versus Name
 *     ```
       /**
        * Plugin Name: YOUR PLUGIN NAME
        */
       ```
   
 * But regardless – this is old – take a look at the issues here [https://github.com/JonMasterson/WordPress-Post-Like-System/issues](https://github.com/JonMasterson/WordPress-Post-Like-System/issues)

 * Plugin is working but i cant see the plugin menu in dashboard. Does anyone know
   what the problem can be?
 * “Likes” menu here: [https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b1ed97d48898023585223996978bba52d732c232ed0a463f976ee43e89b8f6ad/687474703a2f2f6a6f6e6d6173746572736f6e2e636f6d2f77702d636f6e74656e742f75706c6f6164732f67656e6572616c2d73657474696e67732e6a7067](https://camo.githubusercontent.com/b1ed97d48898023585223996978bba52d732c232ed0a463f976ee43e89b8f6ad/687474703a2f2f6a6f6e6d6173746572736f6e2e636f6d2f77702d636f6e74656e742f75706c6f6164732f67656e6572616c2d73657474696e67732e6a7067)

 * Because there is no code to do that – it was never released – read the description
 * > Coming in November December January? Soon
   >  We have been working hard on many
   > updates to this system, two new plugins, and documentation. It’s taking a bit
   > longer than expected, so please bear with us.
 * That was 5 years ago.
 * Good luck – but I really think you are just digging yourself hole.
 * > This Post Like System will soon be offered as a free and premium plugin. The
   > free plugin will have everything the current system does, but will be easier
   > to manage from the WordPress admin (no more implementation errors). The premium
   > plugin will offer AJAX widgets for Most Liked Lists that will update & respond
   > to likes without a screen refresh, and can be managed from the WordPress admin.
