Hi!
I must say this is one of the best templates available out there. We use it for a student project and we are more than delighted with the array of opportunities it offers.

I was able to customize and install all the necessary social network plugins. But I am having difficulty at including a FB like button on the home page, under each individual post.

Can someone help out with this?

Thanks!

Did you search on wordpress.org for a plugin?

Yes, I have, but I was unable to find a plugin that would work under this template.

which ones did you try? I'm unaware of any that don't work.

For example, this one: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/...k-like-button/

It works flawlessly on article pages, but on the front page it doesn't display the FB like button.

And yes, I have checked 'Home' in the configuration of the plugin.

This looks to me like a 'designed feature' of the the plugin or a bug with the plugin. It does not add teh like on an excerpt, and that makes a certian sense but you will have to take this up with the plugin developer.

If you change the home page to display full posts, the like shows up - do this by editing the virtual template 'postformat.php' and change the line

		<?php bfa_excerpt( 55, ' ...' ); ?>

to

<?php the_content(); ?>

as a side not I tried this with Atahualpa which has the option to display both full posts and excerpts on the front page, the full posts had the like buttons, the excerpts did not.

if this is an issue, you need to take it up with the plugin developer.

Thank you for your reply, but unfortunately showing the whole posts is not an option in my case.

I assume that some people here have working plugins with this theme, maybe someone could share their experience with a plugin that works?

I'd talk to the plugin developer.

meanwhile you could edit the 'main.php' and right after line 57 - which is

add_filter('the_content', 'Add_Like_Button');

you could add

add_filter('the_excerpt', 'Add_Like_Button');

then in the theme, edit the 'postformat.php' virtual template and change

		<?php bfa_excerpt( 55, ' ...' ); ?>

to

		<?php bfa_excerpt(); ?>

you will see the buttons.

If you do this, keep notes so you can redo the fix the next time the plugin updates.
