The Embed Button for Wordpress

Drive reblogs and shares of your Wordpress posts with the Embed Button

One

First get the Embed Button

Pick a button style and copy the code from the Embed Button page.

Or you can copy the default button style here:

<a class="embedly-button" href="http://embed.ly/code" data-url="<?php the_permalink(); ?>">Embed This</a>
<script>!function(a){var b="embedly-platform",c="script";if(!a.getElementById(b)){var d=a.createElement(c);d.id=b,d.src=("https:"===document.location.protocol?"https":"http")+"://cdn.embedly.com/widgets/platform.js";var e=document.getElementsByTagName(c)[0];e.parentNode.insertBefore(d,e)}}(document);</script>

Two

Now paste it in your Wordpress blog

*Note that you can only include the button on a Wordpress.org blog, not a Wordpress.com blog.

The code can be installed anywhere in the post loop. I'm going to install it in single.php, which is the code for the single Wordpress post page, but it can just as easily be installed in several of the other theme pages.

Open up the single.php theme in an editor.

Paste the button code in the theme. In this case I'm posting it after the date and tags details.

Save it, and you're done! Open up a post on your Wordpress blog and you'll see it right there.

Paste the button code in the theme. In this case I'm posting it after the date and tags details.

Click the button, you'll see a beautiful Card for your post. The example is for this post.
