There are now many plugin outlets throughout the post-stream. You can use the [developer toolbar](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-discourse-developer-toolbar/346215) to find the best one for your use case.

Upgrade information can be found here: [Upcoming post stream changes - How to prepare themes and plugins](https://meta.discourse.org/t/upcoming-post-stream-changes-how-to-prepare-themes-and-plugins/372063). There’s a specific example for “Adding content after post content”

I spent several hours looking at the “post stream changes” stuff before finding that this is where I had trouble before and came here whining. But I think this time I may have managed to get it figured out.

Thanks
