Of course, I am willing to help you optimizing your plugin – I hope I can be of any help.

First of all, please make sure the ampersands in the ShareThis.com JavaScript are properly masked as html entities (& amp;) – that way, the XHTML-isssue should be solved.

Yes, I am currently still using 2.1.3. I am willing to upgrade, but that’s gonna happen later, I guess.

If you want to know what plugins I am using, just take a look at the ‘Blog-Info’ site where all the used plugins are listed.

The sharethis.php is on its way to your eMail-address – I am not using the plugin any longer, as I managed to do without.

I am not quite sure why the Slickr plugin does not work with the ShareThis plugin installed – somehow, it does not proceed further than the “loading” screen. You should implement it yourself to see what the problem is. It might have to do with the prototype library. As described above: if I do not load the ShareThis JavaScript inside the header, everything works fine.

Please understand that I am not willing to give away my WP installation – but if you have further questions, don’t be shy.

Good luck with debugging!

I work at ShareThis and collaborated with Alex King on the ShareThis 2.0 plugin. I noticed in your post that you were having some problems with it. In particular, I’d like to take a look at the bug with multiple “&publisher=” querystring arguments being added. I’d previously debugged that issue, so if you’re willing to share, I’d like to get some debugging info from you. Also, I’d like to take a look at the ShareThis plugin’s interaction with your Slickr Gallery plugin.

1. Could you verify what version of WordPress you’re using? It looks like 2.1.3.

2. Could you tell me what other plugins you’re using on your site?

3. Could you send me the /wp-content/plugins/share-this/sharethis.php file that you’re using?

The best way for me to duplicate your environment would be for you to zip up your whole WordPress installation and send it to me. That way I would have a snapshot of your whole configuration including your other plugins and template. I don’t need the database, and you can remove the database connection info from the wp-config.php file.

The good news is that we have fixed the “button added everywhere” issue in the next version, which should be available in a week or so. We’ll be adding a template tag so that you can place the button where you want and a switch to turn it on and off.

Cheers!
