Show the Likes on your Tumblr Posts
This tutorial will show you how to display the number of Tumblr likes in each of your posts. You just need to add a bit of code to your Tumblr theme html. Don’t get confused, this is not to display your own likes on other people’s tumblelogs. It’s meant to show the likes on your own posts. Somehow, many tumblr themes are missing the code so we need to add it.
Likes and Reblogs counters are better known as notes, and they have nothing to do with Like or Reblog buttons by the way
How To Show or Display The Number of Likes on Each of your Tumblr Posts.
- Go to Customize >>> Theme >>> Custom HTML
- To show the likes count (notes count to be more precise) you need to add the following code below and always within the closing tag of the next tags: {block:Text}, {block:Photo}, {block:Photoset}, {block:Quote}, {block:Link}, {block:Chat}, {block:Answer}, {block:Video}, {block:Audio}. These are the tags that display each post type.
- Save and Close.
{block:NoteCount}
<strong>♥</strong>{NoteCount}
{/block:NoteCount}
NOTES: Showing the Likes counter on each of your Tumblr Posts is initially easy, but It end up being displayed in different parts of the posts depending on the theme’s html. So leave a message with your theme if you need to display your Tumblr likes in some particular place. If you also saw a different LIKE icon being displayed let me know so we can tell you how to add it.
