So when I use the StumbleUpon code from their site to put a plugin on, it has a number (say 500) and is pretty consistent which tells me that its for the entire site. Well, I want it to be for each post. How can I put the code in so that each post (that has the StumbleUpon badge) which reflect each post and not for the entire site?
Well you can install plugins like add-to-any which add buttons on every page where you can share the post with different sites like FB, SU, Digg, technorati and more.
Well, I would like it to be just a badge from StumbleUpon without "add to: e-mail, digg, reggit, socialnetwork#28, myspace, fb, buzz, yahoo buzz, msn buzz, any other buzz, technorati, stumble upon, etc." I have a retweet, Facebook plugins and now just want to add StumbleUpon. However, when I add their badge to my php code, the number of users reflect visiting the site! But I want people to submit for EACH post. Not sure if that makes sense or if its possible to do?
No, you don't need a plugin. Try something like this: <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=<?php the_permalink(); ?>&title=<?php echo urlencode(get_the_title($id)); ?>" title="StumbleUpon">LINK TITLE</a> PHP: That should generate a basic link using the page's permalink. You'll need to replace the "LINK TITLE" section to either an image or whatever text you require, though.
UPDATE: So here is the problem See image. So I have on line #1 widgets/plugins for Wordpress from Facebook Share and Tweetmeme. In line #2, I have a button code from Share This. The button code includes stumble, e-mail. So in line #1, it is correctly displaying the amount of times that specific blog post has been shared via Facebook and Twitter. In line #2, it is incorrectly displaying the entire website's shares. What I want it to do is to display the post's shares. Can someone help?
Could you please post the code snippets you're using to generate these? It's a hard to debug without seeing the source.
This is the code I am using on my index.php (maybe I need it on single.php but how would it show on my main index?) <span class="st_twitter_vcount" displayText="Tweet"></span><span class="st_facebook_vcount" displayText="Share"></span><span class="st_email_vcount" displayText="Email"></span><span class="st_stumbleupon_vcount" displayText="Stumble"></span> Code (markup): This is in my header.php, I put it between <head></head> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js"></script><script type="text/javascript">stLight.options({publisher:'xxxxxxxxxxxxxx'});</script> Code (markup):
I don't understand, can you explain or point me to these plugins and how they will help? I am already using 2 plugins = Facebook Share and Tweetmeme. But I want to add an e-mail and Stumble buttons. How will share and follow plugin help me?
