Add Anywhere Below It:

<?php if(function_exists('wp_email')) { email_link(); } ?>

Note:

• The first value you pass in is the text for emailing post.
• The second value is the text for emailing page.
• Default: email_link('EMail This Post', 'EMail This Page')

• If you want to use an image/icon instead, replace email_link(); with email_link_image();

• If you want to use a popup window, replace email_link(); with email_popup(); for normal link or email_popup_image(); for image/icon.

• If you are having templates problem, I recommend you to use the popup window option instead.

Alternative placing of "Email this post"

Open wp-content/themes/<YOUR THEME NAME>/post.php

Decide if link goes at header or footer of each post

Add:

<?php if(function_exists('wp_email')) { email_link(); } ?>
