Wordpress help - adding text below main content

dcuthbert · Sep 1, 2013

Hi,

This is probably easy for someone who knows how to code, but unfortunately my skills aren't up to scratch!

I want to add a single line of HTML below the content on every single post. In single.php I've tried adding it here:

Code:

                    <div class="post-entry">
                        <?php the_content(); ?>
MY CODE HERE              
                    </div><!-- /post-entry -->

However, it then displays below my sharing plugin and related posts plugin. I want it to display directly below the content - above the sharing and related posts plugins.

Any idea how I can do this? If it helps, I'm using the Max Magazine theme from Gazpo.

Big thanks to anyone who can help with this!

I'm not a big experienced Wordpress developer, but I'm pretty sure I know why the HTML isn't showing up before the post.

Your plugins are hooking into the rendering of the page and is attaching the sharing buttons/relating posts the content. Find the "the_content" function and add the HTML there.

The class for the "the_content" function is located in the post-template.php file. You'll probably have to add your HTML into one of the methods of the class. See this page: http://core.trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/3.6/wp-includes/post-template.php

EDIT:

The easiest way to do this is to create a plugin that'll hook into the system and add your HTML code after the content. That'll be easier and safer than editing any system files.

Refer to this page: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/writing-a-plugin-how-do-i-add-html-after-the-content

The code should look something like this:

PHP:

<?php

function addContent($content) {
    $content .= '<a href="http://www.yahoo.com">yahoo</a>';
return $content;
}   

 add_action('the_content', 'addContent');

}

?>
