About this plugin
Easy ReTweet is a WordPress Plugin, which let’s you add Tweet this buttons for your WordPress posts.
Usage
There are three ways you can add the retweet button. Automatic way, manual way and using shortcodes
Automatic way
Install the Plugin and choose the type and position of the button from the Plugin’s settings page. You can also specifically enable/disable the button for each post or page from the write post/page screen.
Manual way
If you want more control over the way the button should be positioned, then you can manually call the button using the following code.
if (function_exists('easy_retweet_button')) echo easy_retweet_button();
Using shortcodes
You can also place the shortcode [easy-retweet] anywhere in your post. This shortcode will be replaced by the button when the post is rendered.
Development
The development of the Plugin happens over at github. If you want to contribute to the Plugin, fork the project at github and send me a pull request.
If you are not familiar with either git or Github then refer to this guide to see how fork and send pull request.
