Add AJAX likes/dislikes, star ratings, views, reactions, favorites, sharing, and copy content for posts or WooCommerce products.

== Description ==

**Post Engagement – Like Dislike, Share, Views Counter, Star Rating, Favorites & Copy Posts** is a lightweight, user-friendly plugin that lets users engage with posts, comments, and WooCommerce products using **Like**, **Dislike**, **Star Rating**, **Post View Tracking**, and **Favorites** (wishlist-like system) and **Copy posts**.

Built with performance in mind, the plugin uses AJAX for seamless interaction and offers customization for labels, icon colors, display positions, view counters, tooltips, and more.

> ⚠️ **Note:** The product star rating system in this plugin is a **custom-built functionality using its own database table**, not the default WooCommerce or WordPress rating/comments meta. This ensures better performance and independent control over ratings.
