How to add Digg and Tweetmeme Button In Thesis Wordpress Theme

by Harsh Agrawal on August 19, 2009

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

I have already covered few topics on customizing Thesis wordpress theme, If you have missed them, you can have a look at :

Looking at my referral log, I’m glad that many people bought thesis and I’m sure they must be seeing the positive result. To make them more comfortable with Thesis , as I said earlier I will be coming up with more topic on Thesis theme customization.

Here is a quick code, which you can add into you custom_functions.php to add Digg and Tweetmeme button, beside your post title. Copy the code and paste it in your custom_functions.php file

function Digg_button() {
if (is_single()) {
 echo '<div style="float:right; padding-left: 5px;"><script type="text/javascript" src="http://tweetmeme.com/i/scripts/button.js">
</script><script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script></div>';
 }
}
add_action('thesis_hook_before_headline', 'Digg_button');

This simple code will add a Digg and tweetmeme button in your post. You can also edit your custom.css according to your previous customization to add more styling to your Tweetmeme and Digg button. A Working example of this code can be seen at Shoutmeloud.

In case if you don’t wish to add Tweetmeme with code, you can also grab Tweetmeme wordpress plugin.

If you still looking for best SEO wordpress theme , I will suggest Grab Thesis wordpress theme.

5 Akmal Wardak August 20, 2009 at 08:57: I think I found the solution to the question I asked above. you just use the thesis_hooks_before_post hook instead of thesis_hook_before_headline.

This spaces it a lot more and makes it look a bit more professional. I have already updated my site and loved how it looks now

I don’t have the Digg button on my site, don’t know why not.
