Likes disappeared
If you transfer your site or change the site URL settings, your Comment Likes count will be reset, and start counting again.
Likes cannot be migrated from one site to another.
Likes not loading
There is a known issue between Cloudflare’s Rocket Loader and Jetpack Likes. You’ll consequently need to disable this feature in your Cloudflare settings.
If you have a cache/optimization plugin minifying JavaScript, the minification could cause the Likes button to sit just Loading. Please, try to deactivate the minification to solve the issue.
Comment likes is deactivated by default. If you ever need to activate it, you can toggle the Enable comment likes setting from the Comments section at Jetpack — Settings — Discussion.
