ok. the issue seems to be that on the pinterest button you’re pulling in the excerpt via the: get_the_excerpt function.

as the plugin’s action is attached to the the_excerpt which in turn calls the get_the_excerpt function it just runs an endless loop.

I made a quick fix here by changing the line 162 from:

$api_link = 'http://pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?media='.$image[0].'&url='.$url.'&title='.get_the_title().'&description='.get_the_excerpt();

to:

$api_link = 'http://pinterest.com/pin/create/bookmarklet/?media='.$image[0].'&url='.$url.'&title='.get_the_title().'&description='.$post->post_excerpt;

as you’ve already pulled in the $post variable as a global in the function this should be a bit faster too (can’t think of a reason not to use the variable).

In my opinion adding the buttons to excerpts should be option and be triggered in the dashboard and disabled by default

If anyone else wants to disable it on excerpts comment out (add // to) line 236

try disabling the pinterest option

would it be worthwhile to design the plugin so users can add their own custom buttons?

let them upload a graphic, set the text name and the url string for the share button?

could stop you from having to deal with requests regarding this and add a nice feature for everyone else.

If you’re adding it to the next updates hopefully it won’t disappear 😉

The benefit of doing it outside of the theme is for users who change themes regularly, don’t know how much php or like in my case, run a netwrok of blogs and can’t be bothered to update hundreds of themes!
