Share This

The Share This plugin for I created for WordPress has evolved into a widget and service offered by ShareThis. ShareThis is available as a WordPress plugin, and as a widget for all platforms (including plain HTML web sites).

Besides supporting other platforms, ShareThis now allows you to login and access your preferences across all ShareThis enabled web sites. Publishers can register at sharethis.com and receive stats and reporting on the sharing activity happening on your site.

Get ShareThis for WordPress or other platforms from sharethis.com:

    […] When we talked about the new version of ShareThis that would be a widget and offer all the new features in version 2.0, we also realized that not everyone would want to switch to a widget based solution. Because of this, we have an updated version of the original Share This plugin that is still available - now called ShareThis Classic. […]

  10. Paul adds this Comment:

    I’ve installed share-this 1.5.1 but the social bookmark sharing doesn’t work (although emailing works). I get the following error:

    HTTP Status 500 - The hostname/location are required either from Referer: or from parameters

    type Status report

    message The hostname/location are required either from Referer: or from parameters

    description The server encountered an internal error (The hostname/location are required either from Referer: or from parameters) that prevented it from fulfilling this request.
    Apache Tomcat/5.5.15

    Also, unable to display the icon correctly, it lies on top of the text - Share This

    Any advise would be appreciated.

    Thanks,

    P

    I think your Donation pitch is a little awry - doesn’t PayPal only take .035% rather than 35%?

    That’s a serious chunk, if so…

    March 4th, 2008 at 8:51 am

  24. Alex adds this Comment:

    They take a fee plus a percentage.

    On a $1.35 donation, PayPal takes $.34. See for yourself:

    Ah, weak.

    Sorry, I didn’t mean to doubt and should have known that my lowly keyboard and I were no match for the fortitude of a good screen capture + Flickr.

    But hoky finoke…that’s a huge chunk. Maybe you should try Google Checkout, though I don’t know if they’ve got a donation button or not, it’s only 2% + .20¢ - think of the extra dimes piling up!!

    Wallowing in my own inaptitude,

    Thanks again for the plugin!
