18561	Better Way to Insert Things Below Individual Posts	jane		"More and more plugins want to drop stuff in below each post (especially common among plugins focused on encouraging the sharing of content). There's not really a great way to do it, though, if your single-post-area doesn't end with the last line of body text. Many themes put the byline/date/metadata below -- rather than above, which used to be the norm -- the post content, including our own Twenty Eleven.  See the screenshot to see how ugly it is when a plugin (or two, or more) uses the the_content filter to insert something at the ""end"" of each post. 

Inserting the sharing and like rows (in this example) at the bottom of the post text before the byline/classification metadata seems wrong. It should go below that, so it is closely related to commenting, not part of the content itself. The plugin-generated widget is not ""by"" the post author, after all.

I have been told that options for addressing this are basically either modifying the theme and/or getting a new filter in place. Whatever we need to do, let's do it, because misplacing plugin-provided tools inside the content rather than after it is a) really bad IA, and b) crazy ugly."	enhancement	new	normal	Awaiting Review	General	3.2.1	minor			wordpress@… xoodrew@… Ken@… matt@… Brian@… chip@… sbressler@… sirzooro ngomau@… ben@… ipstenu@… raven@… sabreuse@… emil@… kovshenin@… pippin@… wordpress@… nashwan.doaqan@…
