Twitter tweet and Facebook like. Magic.

1 Posted March 22, 2011 by George Categories: WordPress Themes

Sharing is caring, right tadpoles?

So today, we’re going to show you how to auto-magically super-charge your blog posts, with easy-to-click Twitter and Facebook buttons, so that your readers can tweet and like your content seamlessly. Just like the supermarkets put all the chocolates around you when you’re at the tills, so it’s dead easy to drop a couple while you’re feeling great about all the veggies you’ve just bought? Just like that.

And it’s just a single piece code, added to the functions.php file, in your theme folder. Very easy. As always, you want to back up first. So say you were using our free Greyzed theme, you’d be looking in wp-content/themes/greyzed. Find the functions.php file and copy it to say, functions.php.bak.

Now you can go ahead and open functions.php in a plain text editor, like NotePad, or TextMate or something similar. Scroll to the bottom, and then use the ‘view source’ button, top right of the code snippet below, and copy and paste the code as the last function in the file.

function facebook_twitter_button($content){
    if(!is_feed() && !is_home()) {
        $content .= '';
    }
    return $content;
}
add_action('the_content', 'facebook_twitter_button');

Now save the file, and you’re all done! Open a post on your blog and admire your own geek-itude! Well done!

Thank you for sharing. I have a question, when I use the code and place it in my function.php file, it appears like this: http://oi51.tinypic.com/33z8cgy.jpg – How do I make it look like in your example, the 2 squares?
