how to add text to every post - I need it to say some thing like "please like our fb page thnks " i just wanted to check where it is safe to add it -- i thought single post .php would work i put an add in there ok before -- but where to add it so it shows at the top ? or before related posts ?
cheers
this is my current single post code
[code moderated - please use the pastebin]
My favorite way of doing this is via a filter:
add_filter ('the_content', 'insertSubscribeNewsLetter');
function insertSubscribeNewsLetter($content) {
if(is_single()) {
$content.= '<div style="border:1px dotted #000; text-align:center; padding:10px;">';
$content.= '<h4>Enjoyed this article?</h4>';
$content.= '<p><a href="http://facebook.com/YOURURL/">Check us out on Facebook!</a></p>';
$content.= '</div>';
}
return $content;
}
That will append onto each post if the user is on a single page. There are other ways of doing this, you can check a great list out here: http://ithemes.com/automatically-add-content-to-your-wordpress-posts-and-pages/

Yes, there's no reason you can't do that. You're good to go!
