I’m still having the same problem even after updating to Version 1.4 Share-This. I also updated from WordPress 2.0.5 to 2.0.6, but it’s still the same issue: the “Close” button doesn’t work when the little JavaScript window opens.

The only way to close the window is to click the “Share this” icon itself. You can see this weird problem in action on my personal site https://www.quintusphoto.com

Is anyone else having this problem?

I was also sure to copy “prototype.js” to my “wp-includes/js/” directory.

I’m using this with the plugin “Gregarious” (version 1.5.2).

Any ideas?

Thanks…

Thanks Alex – Actually I changed my theme and the “Close” button is now working!

However, this issue of the Close button not working is present with many themes that I tested (all were Widgetized and WordPress 2.0+ themes, found on “themes.wordpress.net”). I was sure to upload the included “prototype.js”, so was using the version included with the plugin during my testing.

Too add further confusion: I know someone who switched to the very same theme I’m using, but for her she is still having the issue with the Close button. Hmmm…

So, this problem is solved for me, but you might want to keep an eye out for similar reports.

Thanks,

I’m having a problem with the latest version of Share-This (Version 1.3.1, 2006-12-15) and WordPrss 2.0.5: the “Close” button doesn’t work when the little JavaScript window opens. The only way to close the window is to click the “Share this” icon. You can see it in action on my site at https://www.quintusphoto.com

I’m using this with the plugin “Gregarious” (version 1.5.2).

I know someone else using using WordPress 2.0.5 and a different theme and she’s having the same issue with the Share-This plugin.

Any help would be much appreciated – great plugin!!

I need to be able to change Post dates: did you ever finish your plugin to do this? Does anyone know of a plugin to update Post dates (timestamps) — or how to do it with PHPMyAdmin? Thanks!

I figured out how to make all links “nofollow”: I took the code from ther Link Indication plugin (https://www.sw-guide.de/wordpress/link-indication-plugin/) and added to it so that all external links are set to rel=”nofollow” by default.

I then used the FireFix “SearchStatus” plugin to “Highlight NoFollow Links and verified that my site at https://www.freetechconnection.com/ now has all external links set as nofollow. Nice…

PS – I just realized in my last message (above) that I made the assumption that changing the default Link properties to include the (rel=”nofollow”) attribute would apply to ALL links, even ones present in Posts, but perhaps that’s not true? What’s the scope of the “edit-link-form.php” file? Perhaps it only applies to Links created using the Links tab in WordPress?

I read that WordPress “has XFN support built-in to its Link Manager function”, but does that apply to links present in Pages or Posts? I want to be able to make all links contain the “nofollow” attribute on all Pages and Posts by default, then I can manually chose when to direct PageRank outside of my site by NOT including “nofollow” where appropriate. It sounds like a Plugin is in order? Is there a different WordPress PHP file I would need to edit to accomplish this?

Thanks!

I also don’t want every link I make to donate PageRank to another site, especially if I’m linking to a site I disagree with.

I’m using WordPress 2 and I read the post about editing “edit-link-form.php”, but how would I make the default behavior for a link equal rel=”nofollow”? Would I change the “none”? I suppose I could change one of the “none” links to “nofollow” (instead of “sweetheart” as shown above)?

Does anyone know of a plugin that makes all links “nofollow” by default? There are plenty of such plugins that apply ONLY to Comments: I want something that effects ALL links. That way if I have a friend posting to a shared blog, I don’t need to worry about bleeding PageRank: I can pick and choose who to give PageRank mojo to on a case by case basis, with the default behavior or “nofollow”.

I notice if I edit a Link in WordPress, “Geography” is “none” by default:

<input class=”valinp” type=”radio” name=”geographical” value=”” id=”geographical” <?php xfn_check(‘geographical’, ”, ‘radio’); ?> />

<?php _e(‘none’) ?></label>

So, could I just change it to read as follows?

<?php _e(‘nofollow’) ?></label>

I simply replaced ‘none’ with ‘nofollow’. Is this the best way to achieve this? I guess I would want to change another option to be Follow, instead of NoFollow? As you can tell I am a PHP newbie: any advice would be much appreciated!

Thanks everyone…
