[wp-hackers] Plugin Problem - Working sometimes...

[Travis Quinnelly [MUO]]

I think we decided for this route since prior to this plugin, the authors
were adding this to every post. Therefore, these "footers" are already
inputted into hundreds of posts already as part of "the_content".

Wouldn't this route duplicate those?
