You could get facebooks like code and paste it into footer.php file
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
What @modemlooper said, definitely the easiest and simplest way to do it, but if you want to integrate with certain activities, posts etc, try: https://buddypress.org/community/groups/buddypress-share-it
However, this doesn’t exclude anything, which means EVERY activity can be posted.
now, if only you could combine the awesome Buddypress extras from etivite: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/buddypress-activity-stream-extras/ then you’d have a killer combo
Thanks both – I had assumed that pasting the code in directly would probably be the best way. And yes, that would be a killer combo!!
One question, I see that on the Facebook like wording for the HTML5 scripts it says: “Include the JavaScript SDK on your page once, ideally right after the opening tag.”
You then use the “<div class="fb-like"" etc where ever you want the button to show.
As I am using a child theme does the above still apply?
Thanks
I appear to have this working now – thanks
