There should be more detail in the error log as to what's wrong.

Here are the errors


and also this

These aren't related to your profile issue.

I guess the problem starts with the fact the mod needs more than just a few tweaks to work on current PHP and SMF versions.

So what can I do ?  :(

Find a different likes mod or hope the author fixes the issues despite the fact this mod hasn't been touched in literal years.

Arantor

They've been removed for whatever reason.

I downgraded from 2.1 to 2.0 only because of like mod and added 254 boards again. Now what can I do?

Arantor

I don't know why you downgraded since from a board management perspective, 2.1 does literally everything 2.0 does with more features.

I still maintain that you don't need all those boards, though, since you don't seem to have even enough posts for one per board...

I suspect other issues at play here.

This mod works perfectly on current versions of SMF.  My forum runs it just fine.

What version of php are you running?   That "function name must be a string" is one of the symptoms of a non-supported version of php, IIRC.

The other issue - no likes buttons - is a frequent new user issue with this mod.   You must go thru the mod admin panel and configure it.  A few forms must be checked/updated.

Double-check the permissions settings and board settings.    There is a handy "check all" button at the bottom of board settings...

I assumed the entire forum would have broken if it weren't a supported PHP version...

I don't yet run php 7... Maybe an issue there? 

I'm more suspicious about the codebase given the mod required multiple installs...  That never sounds good.  Also curious how the downgrade from 2.1 to 2.0 was executed.

Also, 2.1 has a "likes" feature.   Not as flexible as this mod, but it works just fine.  You just need to enable it. 

Also, for the record, 2.1 is still in beta & should not be used on production forums.  A proper 2.0 => 2.1 upgrade should be executed upon 2.1 production release.

FYI, I just confirmed the error above running 2.0.14 & php 7.0.  ("Function Name must be a string")

Looks like this mod doesn't support php 7.x. 

Note it runs fine on php 5.6 & 2.0.14, so that may be the end of the line.

I have this mod running perfectly and error free on a forum using SMF 2.0.14/PHP 7.1.6 - all I had to do to get it working with PHP 7.x was apply the change referred to here (direct link to GitHub)
Life doesn't have to be perfect to be wonderful ...

I missed that post - very helpful...  Thanks!

Thanks for the fix. I could fix the like stat pages. but still in the posts, there is no like button. And I'm not getting any error in log.

Edit: Nevermind, I turned it on in the setting.

Edit2: Do you think I could transfer its database to "SMF 2.1 built-in like feature" later when its final version releases?

Yes.  The functionality doesn't match perfectly, but the likes can carry over.    I do this in my 2.1 test environment with a simple sql command.   I'll pretty it up and share over the weekend.
