<p>Easy ReTweet is a WordPress Plugin, which let’s you add Tweet this buttons for your WordPress posts.</p>
<h3>Usage</h3>
<p>There are three ways you can add the retweet button. Automatic way, manual way and using shortcodes</p>
<h4>Automatic way</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<h4>Manual way</h4>
<p>If you want more control over the way the button should be positioned, then you can manually call the button using the following code.</p>
<pre><code>if (function_exists('easy_retweet_button')) echo easy_retweet_button();
</code></pre>
<h4>Using shortcodes</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<h3>Development</h3>
<p>The development of the Plugin happens over at <a href="https://github.com/sudar/easy-retweet" rel="nofollow ugc">github</a>. If you want to contribute to the Plugin, fork the <a href="https://github.com/sudar/easy-retweet" rel="nofollow ugc">project at github</a> and send me a pull request.</p>
