    Hello,

    on the twitter developers page you can find the following tweet button

    <script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div>
   <a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button"
      data-url="https://dev.twitter.com/pages/tweet_button"
      data-via="your_screen_name"
      data-text="Checking out this page about Tweet Buttons"
      data-related="anywhere:The Javascript API"
      data-count="vertical">Tweet</a>
</div>

    Now I want to hardcode this into my theme. I thought it should work with the following code:

    <script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div>
   <a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button"
      data-url="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"
      data-text="<?php the_title(); ?>"
      data-count="vertical">Tweet</a>
</div>

    Now the problem comes. The title shows up fine, but there is no URL what so ever. What do I do wrong?

  • I have just tested your code locally, it works fine for me.

    Where do you pleace that snippet of code in your theme?

    this was making the error

    thanks for your answer.

    For anyone who wants to code the tweet this into his theme (with short permalink):

    <script src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<div>
   <a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button"
      data-url="<?php echo get_bloginfo('url')."/?p=".$post->ID; ?>"
      data-text="<?php the_title(); ?>"
      data-count="vertical">Tweet</a>
</div>

    You can replace the_permalink by the_shortlink if you want, but I wouldn’t worry too much about that if I were you : Twitter automatically shortens your links with their t.co URL shortener.
