Block DiggBar in Wordpress Plugin

April 10th, 2009  |  Published in Wordpress, Wordpress Plugins  |  2 Comments

I wrote this plugin in protest to the newly introduced [DiggBar](http://digg.com/tools/diggbar).

Simply install this plugin on your Wordpress blog and people trying to a blog post through the DiggBar will be block and this message will be displayed:

The DiggBar is blocked on this blog. [Read why](http://daringfireball.net/2009/04/how_to_block_the_diggbar).

### Download

Download from the [Wordpress Plugin Directory](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/block-diggbar/).

Source repository at [GitHub](http://github.com/paulwilliam/block-diggbar/tree/master).

### Credits

It uses code by [John Gruber](http://daringfireball.net/2009/04/how_to_block_the_diggbar).

    Hi! Great plugin, but i have a question, ¿is there a way to do the same thing with facebook. Facebook does the same thing that Digg with their pages. Example: http://www.facebook.com/ext/share.php?sid=74769073111&h=1Jw8K&u=gk0sl&ref=mf

    ¿Is there a way to also block this? Or to redirect the user to the real page.

    Thanks a lot!

    Mariano, you could modify the code to block facebook.
