WordPress word of mouth marketing plugin

WordPress Word of Mouth Marketing Plugin, WP-WOMM for short, is a WordPress 2.0+ plugin automatically inserts a link to share and tell a friend about the post or page as well as provide a link for visitors to subscribe to the RSS feed.  It uses code provide by AddThis and Tell A Friend and is based off this.  This blog uses the plugin, so the demo is at the end of the post – see “Did you like this ?”

I created this plugin, because there were very few synergies between the posting, sharing, and RSS feed plugins. Adding multiple plugins clogged the footer of every post, which looked incredibly unprofessional.

NOTE: This plugin is no longer supported by Dave, however it still works with Wordpress 2.7.

Download From WordPress.org

  • Hey Dave,

    saw this on the DP forums and was impressed by how easy it is to install. You definitely filled a gap in the blog sector. I needed something like this to diversify from the usual social bookmarking "tags" that are usually found in blogs.

    It really expands the "word of mouth" capabilities a blog already has.

    Thank you for sharing,

    Dan
  • Link to plugin page mentioned in wordpress.org directory is wrong. Pls correct it there.

  • If I change any data and click Activate/Update Options button, it loads the default property again. I cannot change the text within the option box. Its buggy.

    Navjot,
    1. Thanks for the comments, the URL here was wrong actually. Fixed.

    2. Thanks for pointing it out. It makes the changes on the site, but reloads default. However, the changes are live. I'll see if I can fix it. Thanks.
  • hi. Thanks for plugin

    perfect.

    Regards
  • Hey, thanks. I really like it, it works great.
  • Wow, this is great. I'm curious though is it possible to make so that the WOMM text only shows when the page is single? For example, it has it contained within each post on the index page. Not really a big deal though. Thank you!
  • Drew,
    Can you please give me more details as to your setup, like what version of wordpress you're running? It should be set up by default not to view on index.php. http://dotconnectorblog.com/ is running the plugin too and it's only viewable on single.php. Version 2 is in the works, with some GREAT enhancements. I'll be sure a fix is included.
  • Thanks for the quick reply, Dave. I'm running the latest developmental version: 2.7-beta3-9791; but I actually feel quite embarrassed now after finding the "Display on index page" option checked in the settings. Oops! False alarm.
  • Great, glad you got it fixed.

    Ordinarily to use the code from AddThis.com you need to sign up for a free account - the benefit is that you can log back in and view "stats" from the code snippet to track how many people are bookmarking pages from your site, which specific pages and to which bookmarking services, etc.

    Does your plugin do something similar? How would one go about tracking the stats for this plugin?
  • Trisha,
    The plugin doesn't currently allow tracking, but that's something I'll consider for v2. To implement tracking for AddThis and Tell-a-Friend, sign up for an account at the respective sites and in the WP-WOMM admin you can update the code.

    Dave,
    New to this thing, I downlod your plugin and it seems to work fine. I do have a problem with it. It shows a box with red X tell a friend now in it.
    Did you like this? If so, please bookmark it, about it, and subscribe to the blog RSS feed.
    How do I fix this??
    Thanks,
    Dan
  • Dan,
    I'm aware of the the issue - it's only on some browsers. V2 of the plugin is due end of month and that's one of the fixes. Thanks.
  • Until V2 is released, is there a workaround for the "missing icon" red X you get in Internet Explorer? Thanks!
  • Virginia,
    Unfortunately, there is not. I suggest removing the Tell a Friend button.
  • Hi Dave,

    First off; My hats off to you. great plugin.

    1 issue however; If someone clicks on "Tell a Friend" (not rollover but actual click) you get a bunch of socialtwist codes...

    look forward to your assistance

    Hi there,
    I'm a newbie to Wordpress and have just installed and activated your plugin but it doesn't seem to be working. I can't find it anywhere and it's not being added to new posts. Any ideas?
  • many thanks, just what I was looking for, thanks
  • Hi Dave,

    The plugin adds it to all posts automatically under the content. But I want to place it some where else. Is there any code function, I can place on template which will display it. Thanks in advance
