How to Install Sexy Bookmarks on the Headway Theme

Sexy Bookmarks is probably the best social bookmarking plugin I’ve come across, and is fairly easy to get working if you know how to set it up right.

How to Install Sexy Bookmarks on a Headway Powered Website

  1. Download Sexy BookMarks
  2. Go to wp-admin–>plugins–>add new–>upload.
  3. Install the .zip file and activate the plugin.

Configuring the Display Options

Visit wp-admin–>settings–>SexyBookmarks and make sure to check the following options at the bottom:

  • Load scripts in footer.
  • Menu Location – Below Content
  • Display on Posts Only

These are the display settings I have setup on every blog, and these are the ones that work 99.9% of the time.

If you try to display the bookmarks on the index, it will cause a redirect error with Headway.

You rock! It works. I was beating my head against the wall trying different things then I saw when I copied and pasted your code it turned the apostrophes into single quotes or vice versa - not sure what they're called. But when I typed them in - instead of pasteing - it worked!

Thanks again!

Hi Corey!

Thanks for rocking the headway tutorials and helping everyone in the forums. Your expertise is much appreciated.

I'd like to swap the location of sexy bookmarks with the Related Content plugin's location. Have you published anything that explains how to use the manual mode of sexy bookmarks?

Thanks!

I hadn't but I totally can. It would look something like this:

function easybookmarksme() {
if(is_single()) {
easy bookmarks function
}
}
add_action('headway_below_post', 'easybookmarksme', 2);

Where "2" would be the priority number. So your other function for that related content thing would then be 1.

I wish I knew how to take what you wrote and implement it no problem, but I'm mainly a copy/paster. I tried adding this to my custom_functions.php

function easybookmarksme() {
if(is_single()) {
easy bookmarks function
}
}
add_action(‘headway_below_post’, ‘easybookmarksme’, 2);

No luck.

Then I tried
function easybookmarksme() {
if(is_single()) {

}
}
add_action(‘headway_below_post’, ‘easybookmarksme’, 2);

No luck. I tried a few variations of it, w/ and w/o the <?php but had no luck. If you're willing to help further - great! :)

You should already have tags open but if not, you're going to want to add it with them.

Where the "easy bookmarks function" text is is where function given when it says "manual mode" goes. That will be given WITH php tags. You're going to want to take those out when you put it in the function and just do the function_thing() inside the brackets.

Does that make any sense?
