TweetMeme And WordPress 2.9 Temporary Fix

If you are using version 1.7.2 of the TweetMeme retweet button with WordPress, and have just upgraded to WordPress 2.9 you will no doubt have discovered that the button has mysteriously disappeared from your posts.

To make it work with WordPress 2.9 you will need to manually add the button code to your theme’s index.php and single.php files (and any other custom post page files you use).

Here’s how to manually add the button code:

• In the TweetMeme settings page, make sure that Position is set to manual.
• In your theme’s index.php and single.php files (and any other custom post page files you use) you will need to add the PHP function tweetmeme() within ‘the loop’, i.e. <?php echo tweetmeme(); ?>

Now, you will be able to see your button code again!

   No worries. There is now a new version of the plugin, 1.7.3, which I can confirm now fixes the issue with WordPress 2.9
