 * Hello,
    I am not a php/wordpress expert, so please sorry for the question which
   looks like an easy task to fix. I added the following code before the loop of
   single.php file: `if( function_exists('dot_irecommendthis') ) dot_irecommendthis();`
 * Then, just below the loop inizialization:
 *     ```
       $no_likes = '<span class="post-stats-label">' . Likes . '</span><i class="fa fa-heart"></i>
       <span>' . dot_irecommendthis() . '</span>';
       ```
   
 * $no_likes is finally added in the position where I want it should be.
    No values
   are registered. Could you help me? What is wrong on that?
 * FYI: I have also tried the original code reported in the plugin homepage:
 * `<?php if( function_exists('dot_irecommendthis') ) dot_irecommendthis(); ?>`
 * but it does not work.
    Thank you.
