Add a custom field for box section

[rweiss 0]

Is it possible to have custom fields in the boxes section? I need to write a custom field to have the boxes not show the wp fb like plugin on the boxes. Rick

You can have custom code in boxes, but they generally won't take PHP code. Shortcodes... What's your site? Please give us a link. What exactly are you suggesting?

The site is at http://65.39.222.91/ It is not active yet. I thought I wrote what I am suggesting. The client uses the Facebook like plugin - but I don't want those to show at the bottom of the box posts. The plugin allows you to use a custom field to have a specific post not use the FB Like feature. So, that is what I need to have.

The plugin doesn't have the option to only show it on posts/pages? If not, you might want to search for another plugin. Almost all of them do have that option.

I think you missed the point simple_mama. It does have that option. But boxes are posts, and so it shows in the boxes and I don't want it to. I do want it in all the regular posts, just not these.

Got it, my mistake! Very cute site, by the way. :) Try adding one of these (one at a time) to your custom CSS: [code].home.blog #boxes #wp_fb_like_button {display:none;}[/code] OR [code]#boxes #wp_fb_like_button {display:none;}[/code] OR [code].fboxtext div#wp_fb_like_button {display:none;}[/code] Hopefully one of those will work!

For one thing, that plugin forces a specific width audio component that is wider than the boxes. It might fit in soap boxes but not in boxes themselves. But then you'll likely lose your sidebar where the soapboxes are located. If you narrow the soapboxes to fit within the main content area, that plugin will again be too wide. So, I'm going to support Jenny's earlier suggestion. Find an alternative plugin as there are many that will have a Facebook-like component that will be applied as shortcode. Note, the other Facebook plugin in your sidebar is being cut off on the right. That means it's set wider than the actual sidebar width.

Also, this plugin has a short code option: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/twitter-facebook-google-plusone-share/

I appreciate the comments about changing the plugin - but this is not my site. I can recommend to the owners that we make the change - but it is their decision. In the meantime I will try the css display:none approach.

Do you consider this issue resolved or do you still need further assistance?
