Frequently asked questions
Which pages show the reactions?
By default the emoji reactions appear on individual posts. You can change where they appear using the plugin’s settings.
Will votes be saved?
Yes — when someone taps an emoji the total for that post is saved so counts are kept over time.
Can I change my reaction?
Yes — you can tap an emoji again to remove your reaction, or tap a different emoji to change it. The plugin remembers your selection on the same browser.
Are votes protected from tampering?
The plugin performs several basic checks to reduce tampering: submissions require a valid nonce, the plugin applies a simple per-IP rate limit (requests per minute, per post), and a cookie-based per-session check helps prevent repeated submissions from the same browser. These measures reduce automated abuse but are not foolproof against distributed or determined attackers. For stronger protections consider adding server-side authentication, CAPTCHA, or stricter per-user limits.
