I believe I've found the bug: the like code relies on jQuery being available via a variable named $ which is not always the case because some of the third-party scripts ran on the website are overwriting it. There's 2 possible fixes depending on what level of access the admins like IBJoel have:
a. Ensure that jQuery is available via the variable $ by adding additional Javascript to the page via Google Tag Manager which assigns `var $ = jQuery`
b. Modify the file vbseo/resources/scripts/vbseo_ui.js: replace `$("#main-content")` with `jQuery("#main-content")`
Until the issue is fixed by the administrators, individual users can fix it on each page load by running the following code in their browser console:
var $ = jQuery
vbseoui = new vBSEO_UI();
vbseoui.page_init(Array('postbody', 'blogbit', 'content', 'postcontainer', 'vbseo_like_postbit'), Array("php",1));
And that can be made even easier by adding it as a bookmark, so each time you need to enable likes on a page, you can just click the bookmark, e.g:
javascript:var $ = jQuery; vbseoui = new vBSEO_UI(); vbseoui.page_init(Array('postbody', 'blogbit', 'content', 'postcontainer', 'vbseo_like_postbit'), Array("php",1));
Enjoy!
(Apologies to anyone who got notifications of me liking and unliking their posts while I was testing this.)

Bumping this issue -- unable to like most posts in various Hyatt threads with reviews as noted by SanDiego1K above. IB, any thoughts?

We're trying to figure out how to migrate likes over to the new system. But FlyerTalk's current Likes product is deprecated and no longer being worked on
