 * Hi,
    I love this plug in very much. Just wondering if there is a manual way to
   put it on my blog? right now where it is placed makes my posts look crazy and
   I would like to move it around where I want it to show up..thanks.

 * There isn’t, but that’s a good suggestion – I’ll add a template tag in the next
   version.

 * In 0.2.5 you can use:
 * `echo sharing_display();`

 * Will I be adding this code in my Single.PHP file?
 * echo sharing_display();
 * I added above said code, it did not work for me :(. I am wordpress newbie. so
   not sure whether I am doing it correct.
 * Also how do I add Twitter, facebook on front page and all other options in my
   Post. Can I have 2 settings on Front page and POST?
 * Also I would like to have the icons displayed at the top of the POSt, but this
   allowing me to add only at the end of POST 🙂
 * Please reply
 * Thanks and regards

 * Yes, it can go in single.php
 * Do you have the sharing option enabled to show on single posts?
 * There is currently no option to show above posts, but if you use the template
   tag you can position it anywhere you want.

 * Yes, it will work in WP 3.0.1 – the 0.2.5 above was referring to the version 
   of the plugin.

 * Thanks for the cool work, but unfortunately I can not insert sharedaddy via the“
   echo sharing_display();” manually on a single.php file. Sharedaddy even doesn’t
   show up on a single.php without inserting it manually.
    Can anyone please give
   me a hint why sharedaddy works fine with the 2010-standard theme but doesn’t 
   work correctly in my theme? Sharedaddy shows up on index.php but not in single
   posts.

 * Not sure I understand – you say you cannot insert it manually, but then say it
   doesn’t show up unless inserted manually.
 * Sharedaddy still needs to be configured to appear on posts or index pages, and
   the template function only works when inside the loop.

 * Hi John!
 * Thanks for your quick response. That’s exactly the point where I got stuck. Adding
   the plugin manually ( echo sharing_display(); ) works perfect in my index.php
   or home.php file but the plugin output doesn’t show up on my single.php.
 * I’ve even got the same problem when I don’t insert the plugin manually.
    It’s
   so confusing because your plugin rocks.
 * Thanks for all your help.

 * Using
    `<?php echo sharing_display(); ?>`
 * I have been trying to add it below my content like this.
 *     ```
       <div class="entry-content">
       <p>lorem ipsum dolor sit amet...</p>
       </div>
       <div class="entry-meta">
       <p>yada yada yada</p>
       </div>
       <?php echo sharing_display(); ?>
       ```
   
 * But I never get past the closing </div> from <div class=”entry-content”>
 * It works perfectly fine to add it above.
 * Anyone got a clue?

 * fonkyflo, have you tried another theme?
 * hixen, the function must be called inside the WordPress loop.

 * John, i have it inside the loop.
 * Here is my code
 * _[Code moderated as per the [Forum Rules](http://codex.wordpress.org/Forum_Welcome).
   Please use the [pastebin](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/)]_
 * The echo sharing_display() always get printed out before my attachment stuff.
   If your wondering what that is, here is a link:
    [http://www.tgrayimages.com/automate-file-attachments-on-your-wordpress-posts/](http://www.tgrayimages.com/automate-file-attachments-on-your-wordpress-posts/)
 * It’s like plugin looks for the the_content() and prints it right after it. But
   if it founds sharing_display() before the_content() it happily prints it out,
   but not after.
 * Is there any way I can fix this?

 * Having the same problem. It´s not possible for me to display the share buttons
   somewhere after the_content(). My theme´s containing a div to display some postinfos
   like author, rss, trackback etc. That´s the place i want to add the share buttons
   but it doesn´t work. It´s always displayed directly after the_content().

 * I would like to place the buttons at the end of div underpost.

 * I did never find a solution to this, but since it worked fine to place it above
   the the_content() i did that and then wrapped it up in a container and absolute
   positioned it where I wanted it. It was not pretty but it worked for me.
 * Just to give you an example what i did:
 *     ```
       <div id="content" style="position:relative;">
           <div class="sharing" style="position:absolute; bottom:0px;">
               <?php echo sharing_display(); ?>
           </div>
           <?php the_title(); ?>
           <?php the_content(); ?>
       </div> <!-- #content -->
       ```
   
 * As I said its not pretty, but it did work for me.
