Hi,
In order to add sharethis buttons to post pages only, you’ll need to add the buttons manually.
Here are the steps:
Sharethis script and span tags go on the page where you want the buttons to appear and they also determine what kind of button appears as well as what URL and title it shares. You will have to put ‘script tags’ in your Main index template(index.php) and ‘span tags ‘ in Single Post template(single.php).

Here is the basic span for just the ShareThis button:

<span class=""st_sharethis"" st_title='<?php the_title(); ?>' st_url='<?php the_permalink(); ?>' displayText=""ShareThis""></span>

[ Code edited with backticks. Moderator note: when sharing code examples, please wrap the code in backticks or use the code button. ]

You can change the class of the span to determine the button that appears. For example class=””st_twitter”” will make a twitter icon and class=””st_email_vcount”” will make a email vertical counter button.

Hope this helps.

Hi,
You can add reply(@) to tweet by using the span tag as:
You can change the reply i.e. @ by using the parameter st_via in span tag of twitter button like this:

<span class="st_twitter" st_title='<?php the_title(); ?>' st_url='<?php the_permalink(); ?>' displayText="Twitter" st_via='username'></span>

but right now it’s a bug in our plugin that when html is modified from here:
Click to view/modify the HTML tags

and settings are updated, the modifications aren’t saved.
Our dev team is working on the issue to fix it as soon as possible.

However, adding code in index.php and single.php will not display sharethis buttons on the blog page but will show buttons whenever an individual post is opened.
If you wish to display sharethis buttons on the blog page ,you will have to put ‘span tags’ in (loop.php).

In loop.php,
1. put span tags just above the line “<div class=”entry-utility”>” to display buttons at the end of each post on the blog page.

<span  class='st_twitter' ></span>
<span  class='st_facebook' ></span>
<span  class='st_yahoo' ></span>
<span  class='st_gbuzz' ></span>
<span  class='st_email' ></span>
<span  class='st_sharethis' ></span>
   <div class="entry-utility">

2. to display buttons at the beginning of each post on the blog page,put span tags just below the lines

<h2 class="entry-title"><a>" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentyten' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
   <div class="entry-meta">
    <?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
   </div><!-- .entry-meta -->
<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>

Hi,
Hi ,
The ShareThis widget tries to automatically pick the best data for sharing from the url you share, but sometimes our algorithm doesn’t pick it up for some reason or another.

Sharethis facebook button implements a direct post, meaning user is redirected to the website. Because of this, Facebook is responsible for crawling information from the page. They do this via meta tags. If these tags do exist on the page, Facebook will display that information in the post.

Facebook uses properties “description” and “title” in the meta tags.

WordPress has ways to put meta tags. Typically, this is done in the header.php template for the theme.

There are also wordpress plugins that setup these tags automatically. Yoast WordPress SEO is one of them.
