If you scroll down to the end of this post, you will see some text that goes:
“About the author: I’m Alex Choo and I live in sunny Singapore. I’m also the developer of WP Text Ads, a WordPress plugin that lets bloggers sell ads directly to advertisers … ”
It’s easy to add this snippet of text to the end of every post using the Post Footer plugin.
This handy plugin simply takes the content of your post and appends your text to the end of it. To enter your text, go to your WordPress Options Page and look for the Post Footer subpage. Fill in your footer text there.
By the way, the text will only be shown when you’re in a single post page or home page.
I hope this plugin will be as useful for you as it has been for me.

I hope you’ll give WP Text Ads a try soon!
Posted 18 May 2007 at 6:00 pm ¶one thing.. I am just embedding it-
I find http://wptextads.s3.amazonaws.com/images/wpta.jpg
very annoying. I will cut it out of the source. I like my admin menu tidy and image-free,
Posted 18 May 2007 at 6:03 pm ¶also I do not like external calls!!
my new calls looks like this:
Posted 18 May 2007 at 6:04 pm ¶function ac_post_footer_options_page() {
if (function_exists('add_options_page')) {
add_options_page('Post Footer', ' Post Footer', 8, basename(__FILE__), 'ac_post_footer_options_subpanel');
}
}
Ha! Jez, sorry for annoying you.
I felt it made it easier for me to find the plugin when I have 12 other plugins in the Options menu
Posted 18 May 2007 at 6:09 pm ¶No worries, after all you provide the community with a great piece of code! I got some 10+ plugins, too.
the code seems to be messy though, when I add html in brackets e.g.
it changes it to
which is outputted like that (above) in the source code. (with \ \)
which breaks the html and the layout!
is there a fix for this?
Posted 18 May 2007 at 6:13 pm ¶Please download version 1.3. It fixes the problem of backslashed quotes.

Posted 06 Jul 2007 at 1:09 pm ¶Hi Alex!
I love your Post Footer plugin… I just have one problem… I’m not sure it you’ve ever experienced it but, when I tried using the plugin, everything works perfectly on individual post pages… BUT when you check the actual HOME PAGE of the blog, the configured footer shows up on the semi upper part of my blog’s main page sidebar.
How can I fix this?
I am using Wordpress 2.3.1 by the way.
I deactivated the plugin for now till I hear from you… thanks and more power!
Cheers!
Posted 01 Nov 2007 at 10:48 pm ¶Hey Alex…
I found out the problem… the text or code that is entered on your plugin also comes out on the default “Recent Posts” widget of Wordpress.
What I did was use a different “Recent Posts” plugin and took of the old default version. It works perfectly now.
Cheers!

Phew…
Posted 04 Nov 2007 at 6:56 pm ¶Hey Alex - Great plugin. It was very easy to install and set up. However, I would like to modify it to work a little differently.
Is it possible to stop displaying the post footer on my home page? My home page is several blocks of information. So, the post footer is displayed several times.
Posted 03 Jan 2008 at 7:58 am ¶Wayne,
It’s possible but not easy. I once tried to do it for another user and ended up breaking the plugin completely.
The plugin assumes a single content loop for the main page, but your theme probably uses a couple of loops.
You’d have to look through the code in your theme to see how the various loops are called, and ensure that the plugin is run only for that loop which matters to you.
Are you familiar with PHP and WP plugins API? Please contact me by email if you need more help.
Posted 03 Jan 2008 at 1:27 pm ¶Simple but very useful plugin
Thanks for creating it.

Very cool plug in, the only thing that would make it better is if you could code it for multiple users. My business partner and I would like to be able to use separate footers - is this possible?
Posted 14 Jan 2008 at 3:36 pm ¶This is a really cool plugin. I wish I would have known about it sooner.
Posted 22 Feb 2008 at 4:53 am ¶Ah, I’ve been seen this kind of Post Footer thing going around and been wondering how I can add it into my blog. It’s a very good idea - especially for newcomers. You have to find unique ways of letting them know who you are, and what you can do for them. So, I think this is definitely something I’ll probably be adding to my blog. The only thing is that it must be kept short – if you make it too long, then it just clutters things up, and will inevitably go unread. You must write it in a way that it will be read.
Posted 28 Feb 2008 at 5:54 am ¶interesting site man
Posted 20 Mar 2008 at 10:53 am ¶Hi! The post footer shows at the bottom of the home page & in the recent posts column. It doesn’t show at the bottom of the post at all. I’ve deactivated it until I can find a solution. Any suggestions?
Posted 03 Apr 2008 at 8:44 am ¶Wow! This is great!!! By the way, when you download this plugin is it customizable? Like, is it possible for me to add a link to my bio for this footer?
Posted 18 Apr 2008 at 8:01 pm ¶Hi Alex,
Can I have the post footer show up when the actual post is clicked on, versus on my blogs home page?
