   I have written a plugin using CURL to fetch HTML from a file and publish it to a page/post or widget using a shortcode. I also have a Facebook "like" button and the Twitter button installed and activated with settings to publish before (at the top) of posts and pages.

   See http://thekencook.com/remotified

   When I use the shortcode the content publishes before the Twitter/Facebook pushing them to the bottom of the page just above the comments section. If I use the shortcode in a widget the TITLE publishes beneath the content in the sidebar instead of on top of it. Ideas?

   function get_data($url)
   {
   	$curl_handle=curl_init();
   	curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_URL,'sometext.txt');
   	curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_CONNECTTIMEOUT,2);
   	curl_setopt($curl_handle,CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER,1);
   	$buffer = curl_exec($curl_handle);
   	curl_close($curl_handle);
   
   		if (empty($buffer))
   	{
   		print "New data is unavailable but coming soon!<p>";
   	}
   	else
   	{
   		print ("<p>$buffer</p>");
   	}
   }
   
   add_shortcode('content-ddk', 'get_data');
