Yesterday Facebook announced a slew of new features to make the web even more social. One of the plugins they released was the Facebook like button. If you’re using WordPress and the Hybrid theme, here’s how to easily add the button to each of your posts:
TXT File Code (WordPress strips out iFrames so I can’t post it directly here)
That adds the button to the end of your posts when on individual blog posts. Add that code to your functions.php file.

Awesome Patrick!,
I am a little ambivalent on the need for so much facebunk integration, but it is almost unavoidable as I have seen most of my clients spending a heck of a lot more time updating facebook than their kickbutt Hybrid websites.
Anyway thanks for this I am sure plenty of people will be using this code.
Thanks!
I’m kinda in the same boat. I ignored Facebook for a while because I only ever used it for personal stuff. But in the past few months I’ve seen stat after stat about how so much traffic comes from FB. I figured I might as well try to milk it as well.
Hiya Patrick, just wanted to let you know —
This worked great for me. A simple copy&paste of your code did the trick.

Sweet! Works like a charm! Thanks Patrick!
See you at DFWWP tomorrow?
The topic is “design”.
Can’t make it tomorrow, though it sounds like a good one.

So I’m guessing this should work with any properly coded WordPress theme?
Any properly coded Hybrid-based WordPress theme. You can easily change the action hook up to make it work for 99% of any WP themes.
Thanks for this – I used a combination of your code and Patrick’s from the Hybrid Club forums to avoid the iframe and it’s working great on my test site.
Cheers,
Ricky
Hey Patrick,
That was way to easy to set up.
BTW…
Looking forward to the Devpress launch, any updates?
How’s this for vague: we’re closing in.
Thank you very much Patrick! I like this post 😉
