* 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.

* [@john](https://wordpress.org/support/users/john/): Are there any restrictions
where i can use the template tag? I put it on several places inside the loop
but it won´t show up at this places.

* Right now I am using 4 different plugins for email, print, retweet and Facebook
like.
* This plugin is great, because it’s 4 in one and much more. Unfortunately there’s
no easy way for manual insertion or place it only on top of a post.

* This would be an awesome feature. I switched to ShareThis because ShareDaddy
doesn’t have a manual insert option.

* wouldnt it be much easier if the author just added this feature to the plugin?
How hard can it be to add a option for this?

* I hate ShareThis because it loads gazillions of times the same ultra-heavy JS
library, each time their buttons are displayed. But ShareThis works on pretty
much every theme out there. To be honest, the number of themes — even hand-crafted
ones from scratch — where ShareDaddy actually works is really minimal: out of
a hundred or so WP installations, I could only get ShareDaddy to work on a handful.
* I wish that manual insertion worked at all. The echo sharing_display(); sometimes
works, but it’s rare…

* If anyone is using the ‘ShareDaddy’ plugin for their self-hosted blogs I have
finally had success with it.
* First I edited the plugins ‘sharing-service.php’ files to remove the following
lines: (you can find them right at the bottom of the file)
* ```
add_filter( 'excerpt_length', 'calculate_excerpt_length' );
add_filter( 'the_excerpt', 'sharing_display', 19 );
add_filter( 'the_content', 'sharing_display', 19 );
```
* The next bit is dependant on your theme files but somewhere you should have a‘
loop.php’ where your theme builds each post. Find this file and insert the following
code wherever you want the ShareDaddy line to appear.
* ``
* That should work. All the options in the settings page will still work, but this
way you don’t need to fiddle around with excerpts! Plus this way you have control
over where it goes… realistically this plugin should never have been released
without such a basic option!
* Hope this can help some of you.
* If anyone would like to see it in action check out my site at [http://www.geekdownunder.net](http://www.geekdownunder.net)
