I am using power blog. The share-this plugin is installed but not working. I've used it successfully with other (non-thematic) themes. Any ideas?

thanks!

Tried it on my local install even with the default theme and can't get it to run. Looking into the generated source .. the plugin injects the code into the_content() but it's not executed (IE displays an script error).

I don't think that this is a typical Thematic problem. Please check the source view of your browser for SHARETHIS.addEntry. If it is listed then it seems to be a script problem. In this case try the ShareThis Support Forum.

Cheers,

Chris

OK, I find the following. Are you saying the problem is with ShareThis? Why, if it works on other themes?

<p><script type="text/javascript">SHARETHIS.addEntry({ title: "Marvelous Moving Things", url: "http://localhost/?p=40" });</script></p>

I too am having the same problem in the sense when I activate the plugin the sharethis feature doesn't show up in my blog posts which I don't know why this is occuring. A solution would be welcome

Ok .. currently I don't know if my negative result with WordPress' Default theme is caused by running it on a local machine. I'll give it a second try on my live blog.

Could you please try one thing .. add the following code to your child theme's functions.php:
```
// Filter away the default scripts loaded with Thematic
function childtheme_head_scripts() {
 // Abscence makes the heart grow fonder
}
add_filter('thematic_head_scripts','childtheme_head_scripts');
```
This will switch off the menu's bells and whistles (menu will still work).

Please check and report if the Share-This-Plugin will work after this action.

You can remove the above mentioned code after the test.

To be honest .. if it works I still have no solution out of the box for you, 'cause in this case the plugin's script interferes with the Superfish jQuery.

Cheers,

Chris

For now, I am using AddThis, which works.

Hello Chris

I added the code to my functions.php file and it didn't show the sharethis button or feature.
