Today I’ll share a small tip on how to add Google +1 button to WordPress without any plugin. Google recently launched Google plus one button (Google +1 button) for social recommendation.

How to add Google +1 button to WordPress without any plugin:

Go to your header.php and immediately before

</head>

, place the following code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script>

Then you need to place the Google plus one button where you want to place in your theme. Normally it’s single.php file if you need to place it at your single posts. Place the following code there where you want to place the +1 button – before or after the post. Here is the code below:

<g:plusone href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"></g:plusone>

Google +1 button has the following options:

size="small"  - To display small size +1 button of 15px
size="medium" - To display medium size +1 button of 20px
size="large" - To display large size +1 button of 60px

So you may customize the Google +1 button code for single.php this way:

<g:plusone size="tall" href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"></g:plusone>
