Installations is quick and simple. Please follow those steps:
1) Download the plug-in here, unpack and upload the folder to the the /wpcontent/plugins/ directory on your blog.
2) Find the Gigya Toolbar plug-in on the plug-in list and click Activate.
Configuration
If you want to customize the plug-in further go to the Plug-in tab in the WordPress administration panel.
In the administration panel you can further configure the Plug-in:
- Partner ID – Enables you to track analytics for your Toolbar and start earning revenues from your toolbar. you must first sign up for a Gigya account here.
- Default status/tweet message – you can set a message relating to your site as the default status/tweet. The default message will appear in the status update box. Users will also have the option to change it before they send an update. To set your own custom message, replace the "Default Status Message" with your message. You can include $url$ within your message, which will be replaced with the current page URL in the status update sent.
- Email body and subject – you can set the default body and subject for emails sent from the toolbar. To set your custom email body and subject, replace the "Default email Subject" and "Default Email Body" with the body and subject text of your choice.
- RSS url - you can set an RSS url to enable your users to subscribe to your blog's RSS feed. By default this URL will be set to the blog's standard RSS channel.
- Twitter - Enter your twitter user name to enable the twitter widget button to retrieve your latest tweets.
- Facebook Page ID - Enter your Facebook page ID to enable the "Fan Page" button
- Toolbar Theme (New!) - You can now configure your toolbar theme. Currently there are two options but we will add more soon.
- Hide Search box - Enables your to hide the Toolbar's search box.
Troubleshooting
If you have gone through the instruction above, but still don't see the Toolbar in your blog, your theme might not support adding code to your blog footer.
To fix this:
1) open the file named "footer.php" under your theme directory.
2) Verify that this file does not contain the text "wp_footer()" in it
3) then add the following code above the closing </body> tag:
<div id=”wp_footer”><?php wp_footer(); ?></div>
4) Save the file.
Your theme should now support the footer hook and the toolbar should be seen.
