    Post like placement is in the wrong place

    see attached.

    It should be in the post meta section 

    How do I put post like in the meta section please?

    regards,

    Hi,

    At Soledad, we put the like button on the group with the social share. I think it is a better UX than locating at the post meta.

    Your just gave me your personal preference.

    Unfortunately it is not your site we are talking about.

    So please tell me how to move the like icon element to the meta group.

    Hi,

    If you want to move the like icon, you would need to modify many template files, and any customization would be lost when you update Soledad to the latest version.

    If you agree with these conditions, I can send you a quick tutorial with a guide on how to modify PHP/JS files. You would need to modify them yourself on your site.

    To make a quick fix

    Just send me CSS to REPLACE the like post icon to THUMBS UP OUTLINE ICON.


    As I said before, HEART SHAPE ICON IS IN CONFLICT WITH WISHLIST ICON. 

    This creates unnecessary confusion. Thumbs up is the defacto standard for LIKE POST ICON.

    I BELIEVE Soledad is competing with Newspaper, Jnews themes.  I own Jnews and VideoREV themes etc,

    I am attaching screen captures to show you why the LIKE POST button should be part of the post meta group.

     Although it looks nice looking at it.

    Intuitively , Social Network sharing and LIKE POST do not belong to the same section.


    See attached screen captures to illustrate my point.

    In this post meta UI placement design department 

    JNEWS meta design makes a lot of sense. it follows youtube style. 

     Especially I am building a video based siter

    I have to adhere to the industry standard.

    Hi,

    Please go to Appearance → Customize → Custom CSS then add the following custom CSS code:

    .post-share-item.post-share-plike .fa-heart-o:before {
    content: '\f087';
    }
    .post-share-item.post-share-plike .liked .fa-heart-o:before {
    content: '\f164';
    }

    Now like post icon looks right and users knows what it is at a glance.

    please add a thumbs down counter beside it in next theme update  

    because users should be able to down vote a post also..

    Thank you..
