How show social icons above excerpt content in home page?
 

I´m using WP SOCIALIZER plugin trying to put social icons above each excerpt content in home page but the theme doesn't allows it. Any suggestion or any specific plugin that you can recomendt to do that?
Thanks!

I expect you'll need some custom php. This thread may help. Please post your results and the workable code.

Sorry but I'm not a PHP programmer. If somebody comes with that solution in future, please make it public. I think it could be very usefull because most themes allows that functionality... Thanks for your help :(

first swap to twenty-twelve and see if you can get it working there on the home page. I couldn't. You might want to ask teh plugin developer or look for another plugin

Ok, I have been trying with AddThis, a very popular and well developed plugin and the problem is the same. Reading on their support forum says that the plugin needs a the_excerpt or the_content function in the theme to "hook" in.

I made an experiment changing bfa_excerpt for the_excerpt in postformat.php and guess what... the plugin works in excerpts!... now I don't know if I'm messing someting with that change?

This is a very usefull feature in any theme with excerpts in home page so please tell me what is the right way to proceed.

you can use the_excerpt() or bfa_excerpt() the difference is in the extra options bfa_excerpt() gives you.

in that case my 2 question are:
1.- Which are the extra options that bfa_excerpt() gives me?
2.- Is there any way to use the_excerpt without loosing those extra options?
Thanks.

1 - edit a virtual template and look at the upper right of the screen for the 'Limited PHP Code' tab
2 - no - not without digging into the theme and making changes.

Ok thanks... maybe this could be a good point to add in a future patch... I'm sure many will apreciate :)
