Questions tagged [plugins]

Questions about plugin availability or usage, as opposed to those that are development-centric.

Tagged questions can be either about plugin usage or plugin development:

How do I use X plugin?
Do I need a plugin to accomplish X?

It's preferred to use the plugin-dev tag when knowingly discussing the construction of a plugin.

However, it's not always obvious that plugin construction will be necessary to accomplish a specific task. Or perhaps the intended goal can be accomplished by a plugin which already exists. In those cases, simply tagging with plugin is acceptable.

Anonymous likes for elements

Can anyone help direct me to a plugin or way of anonymously liking articles? I have used the Like plugin by Duct (https://dukt.net/craft/like) but unfortunately it must be associated to a user account to save the entry.
