QuailPress
Notice: I’m no longer supporting this project as I believe there are now a number of alternative solutions that provide better options, I personally recommend and use ShareThis. Thanks!

Installation:
Download the archive and extract it into your wordpress wp-content/plugins directory. This will create the quailpress subdirectory. You can then activate the plugin from the “Plugins” menu in your WordPress admin screen and configure QuailPress under the “Options->QuailPress” tab. You may need to change the permissions of you
You’ll need to add “<?php quailpress_share(); ?>” to wherever you want to display the button. This will typically be in the theme’s directory and is specific to your installation and theme.

Hi Brian,
I downloaded your QuailPress plugin for Facebook, however when I go to the Options page in the WordPress Admin section, none of the images appear. I’ve tried activating them anyhow, just to see if it would show up on the published page, but they don’t.
I’d like to integrate the last option on the list, showing the Facebook “F” logo with the accompanying text, on my blog, but it won’t work.
Any help you can offer would be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Moe
Hi Brian I am getting the same problem as Moe.

Moe’s problem was due to the directory being named differently than what Quailpress expected. Try renaming your directory so it matches
“wp-content/plugins/quailpress-v0.1.3″. I’ll get a fix in so this works better. You can also configure this in the config.php file.
Could you make it so the link appears under the post automatically so I don’t have to hunt for where it’s supposed to go? I’m using “Share This” by Alex King and I really dig how it sticks it on your site without having to do any major surgery.
I have one problem and that’s when one open the share pop-up through the link in my page - the website, image & headline is as they should be, but the text to go with that instead shows my wordpress sitedescription.
Hi,
Great plugin, although I have one small problem. It inserts style tags in the middle of the body section of the web pages. This is in violation of the XHTML 1.0 standard, and hence the document(s) won’t validate in W3C’s markup validator. Other plugins insert their inline and/or linked stylesheets in the head section (where they’re supposed to be). Any plans to fix this and conform to the standards?

Hey,
It’s a great plugin, but I think I’m having the same problem as Terje. Do you plan to make QuailPress conform to the XHTML 1.0 standard?

Hey there,
Just letting you know this plugin was dumping a whole page at the top of my wordpress pages - with blank title tags, and a html 4.01 doctype - negating my own page titles and causing a lot of trouble. Tough to do seo without titles my man.
Cheers,
Darrell
