I love how the last post made by Sociable was a regurgitation of their sales pitch.

Notice NO ONE from Sociable has bothered to help any of us?

Yeah, what you said is all Greek to me. LOL I am not a good coder at all.

My siganture is hard coded in the functions php file because the plugins kept screwing up on me.

The code is below:

add_filter( 'the_content', 'add_signature', 1 ); 

function add_signature($text) { 

	global $post; 

	if($post->post_type == 'post') 

		$text .= '<div class="signature"><center><img src="https://lastshredsofsanity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ShanSig.png" alt="signature" /></center></div>';

	return $text; 

}

My theme is WP-Ellie. You can see my site here: https://lastshredsofsanity.com

Thank you.

What file would I add this to and how do I make sure the icons appear at the end of the post after my signature? Could I use the code just as you have posted it after adding my HTML or are there more changes I would need to make?

This is a pretty comprehensive list of social plugins. Although I found it while Googling how to hard code icons to the end of my posts. No tutorials on that so far but found this top 10 list LOL

I want something I can add my own custom icons to. Shareaholic doesn’t fit my aesthetic. LOL

I’m only looking to have a shrebar/skyscraper thing on my blog to conserve sidebar space and then the icons at the end of each post/page. I THOUGHT Sociable would accomplish both things for me.

Clearly I was wrong.

I know there’s a way to hard code those in, but I’m not yet skilled enough to do it myself.

Anyone have any suggestions for me?

No they’re still maintaining it as of the last update a week or so ago, they’re just not giving any support for it.

Is there any way we can get it removed from the repository for non-support?

Rian, no one is answering or helping here. CLEARLY the plugin developer doesn’t care that it’s BROKEN.

Digg Digg always works for me.

Was I supposed to add something to my stylesheet? Could that be the missing step? yes, it bugs me when something should work but doesn’t. I go into detective mode and spend way too much time trying to figure it out. LOL

The only issue I have now is that the code that works has now made my social media icons go below my related posts. And I think that’s what started this whole thing. LOL

But here’s what I don’t get:

Why does this code work:

add_filter( 'the_content' , 'add_signature' , 1 ); function add_signature($text) { global $post; if($post->post_type == 'post') $text .= '<div class="signature"> <center><img src="https://lastshredsofsanity.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/ShanSig.png" alt="signature" /></center> </div>'; return $text; }

But the code pulling the image this way doesn’t:

/images/signature.jpg

It’s essentially the same code, right?

I understand. I do appreciate all the help you’ve given me.

And I did have a plugin that worked OK, but I’m trying to reduce the plugins I have, hence the hardcode.

Do you want me to give you access to my blog?

No, the plugin is active.

Remember when I told you that code hates me? Yeah, there it is. lOL

It’s still not working. Is it my theme?

Should I maybe put the file in it’s own folder like the other plugins have? Right now it’s just a free php script.
