ShareThis leaves one ugly scar.
So I actually just downloaded a new plugin for the site, ShareThis, which lets users send a link (of one of my posts) to a bunch of different sites. It’s a popular enough plugin.
But for some reason, it leaves this ugly paragraph of text on the main page if the ShareThis button has been pressed for that post - the button is available if you view the post in its entirety, but if you view the excerpt that the main page shows, you get a whole lot of:
SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: “New Media Expo or Podcamp AZ?”, url: “http://miiitch.com/index.php/2008/08/14/new-media-expo-or-podcamp-az/” });
Erm. That’s exactly what appears below the excerpt for the post New Media Expo or Podcamp AZ?.
I actually have no clue how to get rid of it, short of finding a way to wrap it in a div and display: none;-ing it.
I’m going to try and find a fix for it.
Updates:
- I’ve finally committed to finding a way to remove the index.php from all of my permalinks. It took some ftp-ing, and some playing around with .htaccess, but all the links appear to be working without index.php. Also, any previous links using index.php still get to the same place.
- Upgraded to Wordpress 2.6.1
- This issue only seems to happen on the post mentioned above. Other posts don’t show the same random paragraph, even when the ShareThis button is clicked for that post.
