I want to get likes from two computers with the same IP in the post like plugin I developed for wordpress. Currently my plugin is working but when I like a post from a device with the same IP, the dislike button appears in the other device. How can i prevent this ?

Here is my main plugin file (.php):

<?php

           },
           success : function (response) {   //WHEN ENDS
                        jQuery('.count').text(response);

It depends how you want to uniquely identify users. Some options to uniquely identify people might be the:

The Wordpress User ID. If people are logged in then using their WP User ID is a good option.
The Wordpress session ID. This is unique to the session; People will get a new session after some amount of time, and if they change browser or clear their cache, etc.
The Browser User Agent. This is another option that will change less frequently but still might change, but will solve your problem quickly

Whatever you choose, you can simply change both of these lines in your code to user more specific method. E.g. I would suggest trying IP + User Agent:

$user_IP = $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

This will mean each like is then unique to IP plus browser user agent string, which should solve the problem you stated.
