I currently have a couple of Google +1 plug ins on some of my blogs but the plug in only allows for the button on posts not the site itself, can anyone refer me to a plug in that will allow me to do this?
try the Sexy Bookmarks plugin.It allows you to place FB like,Send and Google +1 in a row on your posts automatically...Give it a try.Also try this if you want just +1 button... wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-plus-one/
Thanks for the links, I am having issues just finiding a plug in that will allow me to put the google+ button on the home page rather that posts?
Well, you can just put the code by yourself in your theme files. Place following codes in your header.php <?php /********Google PLus 1 JS code ***********/ ?> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script> PHP: And place following code, where you want to show it: <div> <g:plusone size="medium"></g:plusone> </div> PHP: This will show the midium size Google+1 button.
I am not great with coding, still a beginner. Say for example I wanted to put it at the top of the sidebar, where would I find that in a theme?
if you want to put it on the top of sidebar then just create a new text widget and add the 2nd code in that. Add first code in header.php file as said before
You can only add it before </head> you can also add that code in footer before </body>. Its your will
Trust Me. mate Adding +1 Functional for all sites is necessary. If only your main domain will have higher plus ones then you will not get more traffic from inner pages.
