Signature Manager Plugin for WordPress
Description
This simple little plugin gives each author on your blog the ability to setup a signature and to include it at the bottom of their posts.
The admin screen gives each author the ability to format their signature (a text area with HTML formatting enabled) and to indicate whether or not they want the signature on or off by default.
Regardless of the default setting, your authors may toggle the inclusion of the signature to ‘on’ or ‘off’ for each individual post at the bottom of the Write Post and Edit Post screens.
Download:
You may download the latest from the WP-Plugin repository: Get it here.

I can’t believe I went looking for something like this and found a post from you timed just 40 minutes earlier in WordPress forum.
Thank you.

just wondering how each author is supposed to manage his own signature, if the signature is set up under the settigns panel?
Is the signature then still saved individually saved for each author?
wouldn’t it make more sense to place the signature inside each author’s profile for editing? Thats where a user would go looking for such a feature

can I add a picture? Like my actual signature like at the end of a letter. You know like my JOHN HANCOCK??
Thanks.

HI… I like this plugin and would like to include an image as part of the signature. Can this be done through the html markup in the options area? If so what does the code look like?
Thanks in advance for the reply.

@ovidiu: That’s a great idea. I’ll try to roll that into the next version - although I’m not sure when that will be.
@Cliff and Rod: Yes, this is possible through HTML markup. You would have to upload your picture to the internet somewhere and then reference it like <img src=”http:website.com/path/to/image.jpg” alt=”My Signature” />

Great plugin!
I think I found a bug, though.
In the latest version of WordPress, when I enable the plugin, and attempt to modify a page (not post), I get an error message saying:
“Are you sure you want to do this?
please try again”
I haven’t looked through the code, so I don’t know where the problem is, but when I disable the plugin, I am able to edit pages just fine (I haven’t tried it with posts).
Just thought I would let you know,
Thanks!

@Nathan: Sorry about that! I just committed the update to wordpress. It should notify you in the next couple of hours via the WordPress admin panel. If your anxious though, uncomment lines 157 and 179. That was done for my testing and I forgot to update before committing. Thanks for the heads up!

Signature Manager Plugin for WordPress…
This simple little plugin gives each author on your blog the ability to setup a signature and to include it at the bottom of their posts….

Ah, that seemed to fix the problem.
Great plugin you wrote!
One thing that would be totally awesome is if we had the ability to have separate signatures for the RSS feed and for posts displayed the usual way.
I’m going to be needing that functionality shortly, and if someone else writes the plugin to spare me the trouble of doing it, all the better!
Thanks again for writing this!

The only user that can use the setting option on the admin page is an editor. the users do not see the setting option on the admin page.

@Nathan: Good idea! Next major release maybe.
@Frank and @ovidiu: Moved management to the Profile menu

I have installed the plugin, went to the signature settings, added my signature which I can see in the preview. I set it to be on by default. I added a test post to see where the signature would appear, but I do not see the signature at the bottom of my last post. The others you may see below that are those that I placed in the posts themselves. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for this plugin.
But it dosent show up under the post for me.
Do you have any code that i can put in the template directly and try?
September 16th, 2008 at 1:11 pm
Hi…great plugin! I got a weird problem though. It works wonders for my test site…but for my actual site the signature won´t show up. And the kikcer is that both sites use excactly the same themes, with excactly the same plugins (and versions of plugins) installed.
What on earth could be the issue here?
Cheers

I should perhaps note that the sites are on different servers though. But I guess that does not matter whatsoever.

I am having the same problem as Cemal Ekin

I have corrected the problem that prevented signatures from showing up on certain server configurations. You may download the new version from the wordpress plugin directory linked above.

Hi, this is not in line with the plugin, but i noticed on your header that there’s a widget there on the upper right side, and it’s all the to the right. I want to know where to insert the code that it will stay on the right (since i have my blog title on the left). Thanks in advance. Sorry for the offtopic question.
September 29th, 2008 at 1:32 pm
Thanks for the plugin!
But it seems like I also have the problem with the signature not showing up under the actual post. Preview looks fine though.
September 29th, 2008 at 1:41 pm
By the way, I am using v1.3.
October 20th, 2008 at 10:37 am
what do i have to change in order to put this signature after post title ?
