 * We are getting multiple independent reports from our visitors that clicking a
   thumbs up actually results in a downvote. I also experienced it, but attributed
   it to myself not remembering that I already upvoted the article.
 * I have now 5 independent reports, so too numerous to ignore.
 * I have not been able to reproduce this problem as of yet. But our site is behind
   cloudflare.
 * Maybe this ticket is related: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-a-like-is-tapped-message-says-sorry-you-unliked-this/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/when-a-like-is-tapped-message-says-sorry-you-unliked-this/)

 * Have you tested the fixup provided in the topic below?

 * No I have not, and will not. Sorry.
 * Reasons:
    1. I can not verify if the fix works, as it is dependent on visitors
   reporting the issue. 2. I use a CI-workflow, so changes are overwritten on a 
   very regular basis, which would further impair the ability to verify. I would
   probably have to fork (or svn equivalent) your plugin in order to allow for this.
 * I am not really sure why you don’t just roll out the fix with the next version.
   If that is not possible I would gladly help by trying to reproduce the bug. You
   obviously have an idea what is going wrong.

 * Hey [@jberculo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jberculo/)
 * We are actually waiting to receive feedback from users but none of them have 
   informed us so far, so we have not released a new update yet!
 * Can you make a fork from github?!
