remove the forum post like button

I want to remove the forum post like button and just leave the Thanks for posts extension working.
I removed the permissions, but it just stopped being clickable and the button continues to display.

Temporarily you can remove this button, until the extension author makes a switch to enable/disable it from the extension settings, I think it is the best option.

Delete or rename the file from the path:

ext/canidev/follower/styles/all/template/event/viewtopic_body_post_buttons_after.html

In case you want to re-enable this option it is better to rename only the extension from .html to .bak

Then purge the cache from the ACP and also from the browser with CTRL+F5.

There could be an option to disable it in the extension settings.
