   This is more of a feature request than an issue - but unfortunately, because of the way the plugin just uses the post title, if a writer includes any characters like "&" "'" ".com" "%" etc... it breaks the twitter button. Is there a way that you could encode these prior to passing on to the buttons? I hope that makes sense. Thanks.

   Well, I fixed it. Feel free to change the code in the plugin where it has.
   

   function sharebar_filter($input){
   	global $post;
   	$code = array('[title]','[url]','[author]','[twitter]');
   	$values = array($post->post_title,get_permalink(),get_the_author(),get_option('sharebar_twitter_username'));
   	return str_replace($code,$values,$input);
   }

   Change it to
   

   function sharebar_filter($input){
   global $post;
   $code = array('[title]','[url]','[author]','[twitter]');
   <em>$meta = strip_tags($post->post_title);
   $meta = str_replace(array(<strong>ELEMENTS_HERE</strong>),array(<strong>REPLACEMENTS_HERE</strong>), $meta);</em>
   $values = array(<em>$meta</em>,get_permalink(),get_the_author(),get_option('sharebar_twitter_username'));
   return str_replace($code,$values,$input);
   }

   Sorry, ignore the bolding and in the second code example - should be
   

   function sharebar_filter($input){
   global $post;
   $code = array('[title]','[url]','[author]','[twitter]');
   $meta = strip_tags($post->post_title);
   $meta = str_replace(array("\"","”","“","&","%","\n","\r","\t"),array("'","'","'","and"," Percent","'","'","'"), $meta);
   $values = array($meta,get_permalink(),get_the_author(),get_option('sharebar_twitter_username'));
   return str_replace($code,$values,$input);
   }

   Obviously - you can change the array to suit your needs.
