## Description

It’s easy to click “Like” on a heartwarming story about a local hero. But what about
a fair, but counter-attitudinal, post in a comment section? That may make it a little
more challenging to “Like.”

Through [our research on social media buttons](http://mediaengagement.org/research/engagement-buttons/),
we found that **people were more likely to click “Respect” over “Like”** in comment
sections, and significantly more likely to click “Respect” when the view expressed
differed from their own.

**The Engaging Buttons WordPress plugin allows you to easily set-up and configure
alternative buttons to “Like” (and lots more!) on your website.**

The Engaging Buttons plugin is made by the [Center for Media Engagement](http://mediaengagement.org).
The Center for Media Engagement (CME) provides research-based techniques for engaging
online audiences in commercially viable and democratically beneficial ways.

**Fonctionnalités**

 * **Create buttons** for your website: Respect, Recommend, Important, Useful, and/
   or Thoughtful
 * **Customize your button** by selecting the design and colors that best fits your
   website.
 * **Easily display your Top Posts** with the Engaging Button widget, shortcode,
   or with one click from the settings page.
 * (Optional) Send click data back to the Center for Media Engagement so we can 
   continue to provide free, research-based, high-quality plugins and update the
   plugin with high-engagement words.
 * **Customizable by developers** via CSS and PHP (WordPress filters and hooks).
 * **Lightweight & Performance-focused**: Only adds 2 files and ~2kb to your site(
   with GZIP compression).
    There’s a shortcode and widget for displaying the most
   Respected/Important/etc posts/pages/comments/etc on your site. Here’s instructions
   for how to use them.

### [engaging-posts] Shortcode

By default, this shortcode displays a list of 5 links to the most clicked button
posts (any active post type for that button except comments) for each active button.

You can customize the output of the list by adding in a few optional parameters:

**slug= »your_active_button_slug »**
 Example: **[engaging-posts slug= »respect »]**
would output a list of the top 5 « Respected » posts (of any post type except comments).

**Accepted slug Values**
 – respect – important – recommend – thoughtful – useful

**type= »your_active_post_type »**
 Example: **[engaging-posts slug= »respect » 
type= »comments »]** would output a list of the top 5 « Respected » comments.

**Accepted type Values**: Any active post type or comments that you have activated
and have chosen in your Engaging Buttons options panel.
 Common values: – comment–
page – post – your_custom_post_type_slug

**how-many= »2″**
 Limits how many post links to display. Default is 5. Minimum 
is 1, maximum is 20.

**Accepted how-many Values**
 – Integer from 1 – 20

### Engaging Posts Widget

This plugin adds an optional widget to your Appearance > Widgets page that you can
use to display the pages that have the most clicks of your chosen button. It’s powered
by the [engaging-posts] shortcode.

To set it up:

 1. Go to Appearance > Widgets from your WordPress Dashboard
 2. Drag the « Engaging Posts » widget to an active widget area where you’d like it
    to display.
 3. Enter the title
 4. Choose the button you want to get the most clicked posts from (this is a dropdown
    that only displays your active buttons)
 5. Choose the active post type you want to get the most clicked posts from.
 6. Enter how many post links you want to display (minimum of 1, maximum of 20).

**NOTE: Popular Button Data is Rebuilt every 5 minutes**

Future versions may include a setting option to set this to rebuild instantly on
click, or at a length of time you specify (every 1 minute, 600 minutes, etc). Right
now it rebuilds every 5 minutes to save your server resources.

## FAQ

### Why isn’t my Most Popular Posts list being updated?

The Most Popular Posts get recalculated every 5 minutes in order to save your server
resources and keep things loading quickly. Wait 5 minutes, then reload your page.
The Popular Posts lists should have updated.

### Why do my buttons look strange OR Why aren’t my button color changes showing up?

Your theme’s CSS is probably overly-specific. We coded the Engaging Buttons plugin
to be unobtrusive, but sometimes we were _too_ unobtrusive. Send us your site URL
and we’ll send you back some CSS fixes to add to your theme’s CSS stylesheet.

### I have a word idea for a button that you haven’t included. How can I add it?

Great! Send us your ideas to katie.steiner [at] austin.utexas [dot] edu. We review
the ideas with our research team to see which would be the most effective to add.

I’ve been using these buttons on my site for about a week, and I really like them
as an alternative to traditional social buttons. The « Respect » button is an especially
great feature, as it encourages civil discussion. It promotes the worldview that
reasonable people can disagree while respecting each other’s viewpoints.
