Research direction
Reproduce the issue through WP Admin → Sharing by switching between “On for all posts” and “Turned on per post,” then inspect the Jetpack likes setting and front-end display path. Done means likes remain visible for a post with likes enabled after switching to per-post mode, while the existing post and sharing settings continue to work.
