 * Is there some reason the ShareDaddy plugin doesn’t work in the Thesis template?
   I’ve tried on two different thesis sites, and the share buttons simply don’t 
   appear on posts or pages after activation.

 * Not having access to Thesis it’s hard to say. If it follows standard WordPress
   theme guidelines then it should work.

 * Could you tell me where ShareDaddy is expected to insert buttons, so I could 
   check for a problem in the Thesis loop?

 * I have the same problem. Sharedaddy does not work on a thesis theme

 * Sharedaddy uses `the_content` or `the_excerpt`, which should be standard in most
   themes.

 * Thanks John. I am not a developer, just a consumer trying to have a good looking
   blog. What should I look for in the_content or the_excerpt?

 * I attempted to add Sharedaddy manually, using the echo sharing_display(); code.
   No dice.
 * [@john](https://wordpress.org/support/users/john/) – if you’re at all interested,
   I could give you access to a Thesis site to take a look.

 * `the_content` and the_excerpt are WordPress filters which allow plugins to modify
   content and excerpts. Most themes use these, but from what I’ve read, Thesis 
   does it’s own thing so a lot of WordPress plugins won’t work.
 * I did come across this: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/thesis-openhook/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/thesis-openhook/)
 * It seems to suggest that it allows you to add your own custom hooks into Thesis
   filters. If this works you could run some PHP when display a post:
 * <?php echo sharing_display(); ?>
 * This would display the sharing buttons. I haven’t verified this myself, but if
   it does work then drop a note here so others can find out.
 * ctzdesign, do you have the Sharedaddy settings enabled to show content on posts
   and index pages?

 * Yeah. I think you’re on the right track… I suspect ShareDaddy is looking for 
   a content element that Thesis doesn’t use.
 * I found an unrelated post that suggested setting up the_content via the functions
   file… I may try that. If I can get it to work I’ll report back.

 * hiya,
 * sorry to post here but I couldn’t see how to start a new topic!
 * I have just installed the plugin.. On my blog the “share” button (the one where
   you can have other buttons appearing in) doesn’t appear, even though it does 
   on the dashboard. Any ideas?

 * Hi, on mine the email, custom services and share buttons disappeared and can 
   not get them back.
    I’m running a multilanguage site, and those buttons were 
   gone when I uploaded a language file. Hope someone could help.
