share-this plugin question

    On his web site, Alex King wrote under Known Issues with share-this that “If your theme does not include a wp_footer() call, you will need to add the akst_share_form template tag to your footer manually:”
    <?php akst_share_form(); ?> or
    <?php wp_footer(); ?>

    In my footer.php for Andreas 01 I did not see
    <?php wp_footer(); ?>

    What is the known issue if that’s missing (I didn’t see it mentioned on Alex’s page)? Does it matter where in footer.php I add the above line of code?

    Just add that line (wp_footer…) to your footer.php anywhere above the closing </body> tag.
    It’s a “hook” and other plugins might need it, too, so it is good to have it. Your theme might be an older one or they just forgot it…

    Here’s the footer.php code for Andreas 01-12. There seems to be an extra, unmatched </div> just before this line of code: <?php do_action('wp_footer'); ?>.

    Is the extra “/div” harmless or should I remove it (or just add a matching “<div>”?

    <div id="footer">
<span class="credits">&copy; <?php echo date('Y'); ?> <a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a> - <a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/feed/">Entries (RSS)</a> - <a href="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/comments/feed/">Comments (RSS)</a> - <?php wp_loginout(); ?></span>Powered by <a href="http://ww.wp.xz.cn/">WordPress</a> - <a href="http://andreasviklund.com/wordpress-themes/">Theme design</a> by <a href="http://andreasviklund.com/" title="Original theme design by Andreas Viklund">Andreas Viklund</a>

</div>
<?php do_action('wp_footer'); ?>
</div>
</body>
</html>

    Don’t mess around with it…
    Does your blog display properly? When the answer is yes, never play with the div tags. What you think is “extra” might have been started in the header.php or in the index.php or sidebar.php. See this to understand how it works!

    How do you get the Share this stuff to not show up in your footer?

    Thanks
