Installing the Web3Press plugin is easy-peasy. It takes only a few steps, within one minute.

After installing the plugin, please install Keplr, a crypto wallet Chrome extension for LikeCoin. See the detail procedure of installing Keplr here. The crypto wallet is necessary for you to publish and keep your Writing NFTs.

You are ready to publish your post as Writing NFT after finishing the Keplr installation. However, if you want to enjoy the like-to-earn feature further, you can also register a Liker ID. After finishing Liker ID registration, follow the below configuration steps:
- On the menu, select “Your LikeCoin button”, then fill in your Liker ID in the Liker ID field.
- Click “Confirm” to finish setting up your Writing NFT widget. The widget will appear at the bottom of each post.
Configure the LikeCoin button to appear anywhere in the articles – use the shortcode [likecoin] to display extra LikeCoin buttons.

How to check my LikeCoin balance?
Users can check their LikeCoin balance by: Keplr wallet Cosmostation wallet Liker Land mobile app dao.like.co Ledger
How to register a Liker ID?
For users who are familiar with cryptocurrencies, you can register a Liker ID by Keplr wallet, which you can have complete control of your wallet private key. However, an easier way to register a Liker ID without any crypto knowledge is to register via email/password or social accounts such as Google or Facebook. Read the guide here.
How to change LikeCoin to fiat currency?
Can change LIKE at Osmosis DEX to other coins such as ATOM first, then trade ATOM to other coins such stable coins (e.g., USDC、USDT、BUSD) that can then be changed to fiat currency on Centralized Exchanges such as Kraken or Binance. LikeCoin can be converted to other currencies in some other exchanges. For details, please refer to this guide.
What is Civic Liker?
Civic Liker is a movement to reward good content and encourage openness. You can become a Civic Liker by staking at least 5,000 LikeCoin to the “Civic Liker” node with a Liker ID tied to the staking wallet address. The node takes 100% of the stake reward to let you distribute the reward to the creators you “like” via the LikeCoin button. For details, please refer to this guide.
How to earn a bonus from Creator’s Fund?
Creators Fund will be distributed daily according to the claps via LikeCoin buttons by Likers. You can add the LikeCoin button to your works by installing LikeCoin WordPress plugin. Note that Civic Likers’ claps have a much heavier weight for the fund distribution.
Possible to have a different Liker ID within the same WordPress site?
You can configure this function under the Web3Press plugin setting.
LikeCoin button is not shown after I edited the other’s post?
The post author’s account must be linked to a Liker ID for the LikeCoin button to show in posts. Please login to the LikeCoin plugin with the author’s WordPress account once before editing with another editor account. You can also use the “Site Liker ID” option to force all posts to use
