- Display -
Display button at Pages: if it is checked, then shows counter button at the WordPress Pages. If this checkbox is not checked then button is not shown on the Pages.
Display button at Home page: if this checkbox is checked then counter button is shown for every post at the Home page.
If both Display checkboxes is not checked then counter button is shown for the single post pages only.
Do not show button for selected categories: check this checbox and select in opened categories list categories for which you don’t want to show ‘Thank You’ Button. - Position in the Post text – these controls allow you to customize the place where click counter button to show in relation to the post content: before, after, shortcode and manual.
Before: Do you wish to place ‘Thank You’ button before post text? Check ‘Before’. Additional option ‘At first page of multipaged posts only’ will appear on the screen then. If you write multi-paged posts, you have the next variants: 1) show button at every page, 2) show button at the 1st page of multi-paged post only. That second checkbox to the right from ‘Before’ one serves for that purpose.
After: The same is valid for the ‘After’ checkbox with the difference only that second checkbox is ‘At last page of multipaged posts only’.
Shortcode [thankyou]: You can place it in any place inside the post content and you will see thanks counter button there.
Manual: This option allows to hard code counter button somewhere in your blog theme – place thanks_button() function call for that in one of your theme files. For example,<?php echo thanks_button('Thank You', true); ?>
thanks_button() function returns html code for the button as the string. How to use it (make echo or concatenate it with other content, etc.), it is your decision as the theme developer. You can to call thanks_button() inside the posts loop with second parameter set to false to use $post->ID for its work. It works inside of pages too. If second parameter set to true then you get global for the whole site thanks counter with ID=0.
- Button Caption – it is ‘Thank You’ by default. You can put you favorite words here, e.g. ‘I Like It’, etc. and it will show that text at the counter button.
