How to Add the Facebook Like Button in Thesis

Thesis is a great wordpress theme but it takes some getting used to. You are no longer editing a file called “single.php” you’re using hooks to add in content and change things around. To add the facebook like button in Thesis open up custom_functions.php in your favorite editor and add the code in this file. I couldn’t get the code to display properly here in this site.

This will add in the like button below your posts. It will not add it to your pages. I just wanted people to be able to like my blog posts and not my pages.

What do you think? Have you used it? I have added the like button below. Feel free to like this post :]

Yep there’s definitely a learning curve if you’re used to making themes the old fashioned way. Thanks for stopping by Ralph!

Whoa… great theme! I’m going to have to give this a try on one of the sites I have running on WP. Right now I’m running about five different themes on various sites, and would love to incorporate something like this into my business. Thanks!!
