Translate:
WordPress toolbar plugin provide a facebook, digg style toolbar for all outgoing links from your blog posts. The toolbar url defaults to http://yourblog/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/toolbar.php. However with version 2.2, blog admin can customize toolbar url to http://yourblog/wordpress-toolbar/ through the admin panel. A lot of other enhancements have been added like cross-plugin compatibility and support for WPMU hosted blogs. Check full feature list below.
What’s New?
Listed below is list of new features and bug fixes released with v 2.2:
- Support for customizing toolbar url through admin panel
- Support for WPMU hosted blogs
- Support for removing “Get this Plugin” widget from the toolbar through admin panel
- Security fix for possible XSS attack. Fix done by passing encoded hash string instead of plain text parameters. Also added various security checks on toolbar page to avoid possible XSS attacks.
- Bug fix where plugin didn’t work as expected because of cross plugin compatibility issues. Fix done by replacing server side toolbar logic with client side (using jquery) logic.
- Bug fix to show sociable share icons and tinyurl share link only for single posts and pages
- Bug fix for unrecognizable code in the toolbar when the encoding of hosted blog is different from utf-8. Fix done by using hosted blog settings instead of hardcoded utf-8.
Also core plugin code has been restructured (OOPS oriented now) so that maintainability and support becomes easier and quicker.
Steps to customize the default toolbar URL
Enable WordPress Toolbar v 2.2 plugin. Assuming you want to change default toolbar url from /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/toolbar.php to /wordpress-toolbar, follow these steps:
- Enable apache
mod_rewrite - Add
AllowOverride Allin your blog virtual host config file and restart apache - Add following apache rewrite rule by editing your blog
.htaccessfileRewriteRule ^wordpress-toolbar$ wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/toolbar.php RewriteRule ^wordpress-toolbar/$ wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/toolbar.php
- If you have blogs hosted using WPMU, add following apache rewrite rules in
.htaccessfileRewriteRule ^wordpress-toolbar$ wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/toolbar.php RewriteRule ^wordpress-toolbar/$ wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/toolbar.php RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z-]+)/wordpress-toolbar$ $1/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/toolbar.php RewriteRule ^([0-9a-zA-Z-]+)/wordpress-toolbar/$ $1/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/toolbar.php
- Manually check if rewrite rules are working. Open your custom toolbar url and you should see a result similar to this http://abhinavsingh.com/blog/wordpress-toolbar
- If for some reasons you DO NOT see “Working! Though required parameters are missing.” on toolbar page, it means rewrite rules didn’t worked as expected. Before you proceed with the setup, you SHOULD fix rewrite rules
- Go to wordpress admin and click
"Wordpress Toolbar"under Settings tab - Update your new custom toolbar url as shown:
- Clear cache and verify your toolbar
Enjoy and kindly let me know if you have issues installing plugin on your host.

+1, works perfectly for me. I have wordpress v 2.9.1 installed and using toolbar plugin v 2.2.3.
I have succeeded in installing and activating the plugin and I have been able to include pictures in my posts – yet the WordPress v 2.2 toolbar is gone and there are no buttons at all.
When selecting the tab “HTML” there are some buttons for pasting HTML code, including the WPG2-Button for including stuff from Gallery

Toolbar inserts code after each article in the feed, like var wordpress_toolbar_urls = ["http:\/\/dyn.www.rayfile.com\/zh-cn\/accounts\/register\/","http:\/\/u.115.com\/invite\/42b7ce19","https:\/\/www.box.net\/signup\/h","https:\/\/www.dropbox.com\/referrals\/NTQzNTgxNjg5","http:\/\/hi.baidu.com\/answergen\/blog\/item\/d8f972185df30a4c43a9ad94.html"];var wordpress_toolbar_url = “http://localhost/blog/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-toolbar/toolbar.php”;var wordpress_toolbar_oinw = “n”;var wordpress_toolbar_hash = “aHR0cDovL2xvY2FsaG9zdC9ibG9nLzc3Lmh0bWw8d3B0Yj48d3B0Yj5odHRwOi8vbG9jYWxob3N0L2Jsb2c8d3B0Yj7mnqvoirjlv5c%3D”;
I think it’s of no use and ugly.
Hi,
Is it happening for your feed url content? A known issue is where plugin echo such variables on post abstract.
Let me know more in detail and shall fix the same.
The same problem, I think.
I have disabled toolbar, so they disappear.
The scripts appear between tag after article content in rss content when I enable toolbar.
Alright taking it as a priority
Thanks for reporting the same
I’m trying this on a WPMU 2.8.6 install. I get the “Working! Though required parameters are missing.” message, but when I look under the WP Admin Settings tab, there’s no WordPress Toolbar settings page to be found. When I try to get there by manually composing the url, I just get redirected back to the Admin.
Any ideas?
Hey bro can you mail me a detailed .htaccess file to change the outgoing url.
In your post you explained it but i don’t know how to
# Enable apache mod_rewrite
# Add AllowOverride All in your blog virtual host config file and restart apache
so please send me a detailed .htaccess file
Question:
would it be possible to add a comment count number on the toolbar as well as the ability to let people rate the post directly from the toolbar?
Keep up the good work Abhinav!
it opens 2 external url in 2 windows. pls tell me how can i resolve this..
Hi, will you be making this plugin compatible with WP3?
This is an awesome tool! I love it but can’t use it as I’m having a problem where it messes up my posts that have video’s embedded (I have a lightbox effect using the Shadowbox JS plugin).
Is there a work-around?
Cheers!
Hi Tyler,
Can you provide me a link where this plugin messes up with embedded videos…. That shall help us debug the problem…. Sorry abt the late reply, i m on vacation till 2nd week of october and limited internet access….

Hi, what about lighttpd’s rewrite.lua ?
Do you have this plugin for a regular (NON WP) html, php website?
It won’t be hard to get this work for non-wp html pages. Email me if you need a copy of this plugin for a custom site of yours.
What happened to the adsense, ypn or other advertising when visitors click them? Is this plugin embed the toolbar for them too?
It would be dangerous for adsense.
Can you make me a similar toolbar for include in any frame of my web and for connect only with openfire?
Please contact in my email
Hi Jacob,
The chat widget you are referring to is wp-chat and not wordpress-toolbar.
Yes, wp-chat currently is a hosted system and cannot be runned with your own openfire node.
Will let you know when such a functionality is supported.
Hey, thx for the excellent plug-in!
It work perfectly with Firefox and Chrome, but in IE8, the toolbar doesn’t appear and the link turns to be the real link other than mydomain.com/xxxxx . Can this problem be sloved or did I just make some mistakes?
