Inserting code after each post in WordPress

  • Hey guys….. I am wanting to insert some code after each post in WordPress… I know you can do it after this for example, in single.php

    <?php the_content(); ?>

    However if I do that it puts it in the wrong place.. an example post is here: https://www.hardwareblog.com/348/computer-hardware/top-10-gadget-gift-ideas-to-avoid-this-christmas/ — if I put it AFTER the code example above it will be placed AFTER the sociable & facebook links….. I want to put it BEFORE those, so it’s RIGHT AFTER the post.

    I did some checking & testing.. this code here from post-template.php

    function the_content($more_link_text = null, $stripteaser = 0) {
        $content = get_the_content($more_link_text, $stripteaser);
        $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content);
        $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content);
        echo $content;
    }

    It seems the facebook & sociable code is inserted into the output within the apply_filters() function…. though I can’t work out where.

    Any help on what I am trying to do?

    Thanks!

  • The buttons are probably being inserted using the:

    add_filter('the_content', ...)

    filter call either by the theme you are using or by a plugin you installed to embed the social buttons, which means that they will already be present in $content after the template calls “the_content()”.

    To put your code before the buttons, you will have to create your own filter function with a higher priority than the other filter, like this:

    add_filter('the_content', 'my_filter_function', 1)

    The default priority is 10 so any number below that should ensure your filter is called first.

    Alternatively, you could use the Embedder plugin for both the social buttons and your other embed code. You can set them both to auto-embed in whatever posts of pages you want, and set the order in which you want them to appear:

    (If you are just making a minor tweak, then I would advise just creating your own filter function as I described, but if you think you might be doing more embedding in future, the Embedder plugin might be worth a look.)
