    where is the “placement template”?

    You can see a TAB “Placement” at the top. Click it and you will see two templates for placing the button codes. You can use ordinary HTML tags also.

  • Jorden

    Hi, I have downloaded this plugin and configured it. I have also added tags to the placement template however, it is not very intuitive how this works. Each time I update, nothing shows up on my site. Can you please provide an example default template so that it is clear how it should be coded? Thanks.

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Customize the buttons in the respective tabs. Then click the “Placement” tab and enter the below code in any one of the box.
      <h3>Share and Enjoy</h3>
      {social-bts-16px}

      <h3>Like with Facebook</h3>
      {facebook-like}

      <h3>Retweet this post</h3>
      {retweet-bt}

      <h3>Digg this</h3>
      {digg-bt}
      The text within ‘{}’ braces the button code. The code is pretty self explanatory. Hope it helps

    This is exactly what I was looking for. “Sociable” is dead and “Sociable 3.0″ is crippleware.

    Although there are some little flaws. The documentation lacks some advanced features and the presets are confusing to users since nothing happens in the blog view after the plugin is installed.

  • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

    Did you enable the pages, where the template should be shown ? i.e in the placement tab to the right of the template 1 and 2 you will see a list of pages where the template should display.

    Just enable the pages where your template should show (in post, pages, excerpt, home page etc) and save. Definitely the template will show up. If still it doesn’t show up, i will debug

    THe Printfriendly button isn’t working – am I supposed to configure it somehow?

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Actually it is a problem with printfriendly.com itself. It is redirecting to its old version which is not reading the page.

      If you want to make it work you need to do a very small editing work. Please raise a topic in the support forum so it can be explained briefly and made accessible by other users.

    It looks great, but I can’t get it to work along with the plugin Query Post, which content gets stripped of all HTML tags. Is this a know issue and is there any workarounds?

  • http://www.knifecreative.com.au James

    this is the bomb! i scheduled 40 minutes to add addthis to my site and test it, but then i found your plugin and i took me 5 mins. thanks for the extra 35 minutes of my life!

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Thank you James !

      • James

        no problem. is there a way I can add stuff to a widget?

        it’d be awesome if this plugin came with a widget, and then in the templates tab you could check “add to widget”.

        thabks again for the awesome work

        • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

          I planned many features to be implemented in the future versions, and your feature is also on the list. Each will be added one by one in the forth coming versions.

          Being the first version, i limited some feature for getting user response. So don”t worry you will get the widget feature soon.

          • http://www.knifecreative.com.au James

            sounds great!

  • http://twitter.com/dswordpress Cathy

    I’m not sure if you want to debug this, but when combined with GEnesis theme, and several other plugins, on a wp 3.0 site, this overrode the feed settings and displayed the excerpt only. I tried everything – the only solution was to deactivate this plugin to get the full text to show in the feed. Let me know if you want further details.

    Otherwise I’ve used this on numerous sites and I love it!

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      this is a know issue. This is because of the different types of button’s output, CSS of the individual button

      Manual CSS can be used align the buttons in a straight line. Some trails are made to avoid this in the next version..

    Great plugin!!! Rated: 5stars.

    looked good, until it seemed to cut my posts and pages off at about 60 characters. I am using graphene theme and WP 3.03. I had added several widgets at once so it took some time to narrow it down. Let me know when this has been fixed because I’d like to use it!

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      WP Socializer can be added anywhere. The issue is just with your theme and you have not configured WP Socializer properly. Check “Load WP Socializer CSS File” in the social buttons tab.

  • Skippychalmers

    Hi mate, this is a great plugin – the best social one out there. However if I don’t specify an excerpt for my post it breaks the site. Any clues?

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Actually, there was an error when social buttons are used in the excerpt. So i implemented another method. This method worked fine in 5 themes which i tested. But failed in users themes. So i am working on it to solve the problem. Please catch up with the updates !!

            The new version has lots of new features which you will not expect like shortcodes, widgets, bit.ly integration, 104 social buttons, 10 new button codes, redesigned admin page and developer enabled source code and more …. its currently breaking my head. not sure when it will be released . It will be released only when a video tutorial, promotion video, featured page are created .. So you have to wait for 2 – 3 weeks and please keep in touch !!

      Thanks for using my plugin. The first two buttons can be added through the “Social buttons” tabs.
      The second thing of changing the mouse over text is currently not possible and it has a fixed one with no setting to change.

      But don’t worry it is just the very first version. Soon this will be corrected !!

      • Oren

        hey, thank you for the answer.
        1. i know i can add this two buttons through “social buttons”, i just don’t know what code should i use for gmail / hotmail / yahoo mail.. maybe you know ?

            you’ll see the icons in the bottom of every post.
            i want to add a gray line after the text in every page but when i do, the line get stuck in the icons…
            i want to move the icons about 10px to the bottom.
            how can i do that ?
            thanks :)

          • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

            All you have to do is..
            1. Clear the text you have entered in the “Template 1″ box
            2. Then use this code

            {social-bts-16px}


            The problem is, the horizontal line is being right justified. Use the above code see if it works.

        • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

          For adding the selected buttons, you need to use the code {social-bts-16px} for 16 pixel buttons and {social-bts-32px} for 32 pixel buttons.

          The tooltip problem will solved as soon possible. But note that this is the first version only, you have many new exciting features ahead. Please stay in contact

    I am working on setting this plugin up. I think I am just missing some valuable point as I cannot get it to work. I selected the buttons. copied code:
    Share and Enjoy
    {social-bts-16px}
    {social-bts-32px}

    I put in the template in the plugin settings area, but does it also need to go in the style sheet?
    Do I need a code for each of the buttons or just the above?

    Where do I put this code? I know I am being totally dumb about this. But it is a really cool looking plugin. And I would love to get it working and recommend it to others.

    Thanks for any guidance!

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      You have to use the 7the tab (Placement Template).
      In this tab, you have to paste the code and choose the pages and position where these buttons have to be placed.
      Note that this is just a simple code. You can use multiple combinations to create you own style.

      Simply … click the 7th tab and paste the code in any one of the box.
      The second version of this plugin is more user friendly so you dont need to worry about these things.

      Regards

      • Anonymous

        Hi! I am a newbie to wordpress and I don’t know what you mean by “7th tab in placement template”. Can you tell me what that means? Thanks!

        • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

          Click the “7th tab” i.e the “Placement” tab. and enter the button codes in the textbox provided. The button codes represent the customized buttons. Wherever the button code is used in the textbox, the appears there.

  • Neo Alive

    Hello Aakash,

    I have a problem with w3c validation when this plugin is active in wordpress. Could you please look into this problem and maybe come up with a solution. Because now my client is nagging me that his pages are not w3c compliant. But i like the plugin.

    Thanks,
    Looking forward to yor reply,
    Best regards
    JustMe

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Seems to be a serious issue. I didn’t matter the w3c validation. Since there are a no of social buttons, it is bit difficult to make all of them valid. Also note that Facebook’s like button is not valid with w3c. So it is not possible to make the buttons like these to be valid.

      Actually, WPSR inserts the button code according to the button’s API except the Social buttons (16px and 32px – which is the only code generated by the plugin). I am currently busy with this plugin’s next version. So i will work on this issue to my best.

      Nowadays many people don’t bother about w3c validation. But this is the very first version. Please stay in touch for updates.

      Regards

      • JustMe

        This is not completely true. I switched to sexy bookmarks and w3c validation of the page is no problem at all. And this one also contains the facebook icon. So it can be done !!!

  • http://www.mobilesacrifice.com Roraz

    The plugin seems to be affecting formatting of posts in rss feeds, stripping away html for paragraph breaks and links. After I deactivated the plugin, everything went back to normal

    Also the list of social buttons displayed in rss feeds would be vertical and not horizontal like in posts!?

  • Naitik

    hello Aakash,

    i’m developer at one of the company located in ahmedabad,write now i’m using ur wp-socializer plugin.My reqirement is to get Facebook share counter value and stored it into the wp-post database custom fields.So when i tke this counter number and how ca i store it into the facebook-share custom field in wp-post table????

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      This is not possible at all. WPSR’s work is just to insert the facebook code in the customized position. Also, facebook only stores the share count in its DB. But i wonder why you need this feature !!

  • http://www.studiofets.com Stefprein

    Hi Aakash,
    First of all; great plugin!! It really works for me :)
    I’ve got one question, though. I added a facebook share-button to my content.The problem is that the button doesn’t “share” the corresponding post, but the site as a whole. It works fine for twitter and facebook recommend. Strange thing is, that the share button works via the add-this-button. How come? What can I do about this?
    You can find an example here: http://www.studiofets.com

  • http://twitter.com/DailyActor Lance Carter

    Hi – I’ve been looking for a plugin like this all day. So glad I found it! I have one question though: How do I remove the black dots that separate each button? You can see what I mean here: http://www.dailyactor.com/2011…Thanks for the help!

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Its because, your site’s CSS is overriding the WP Socializer CSS. You just prevent it. Open the CSS file wp-socializer/wp-socializer-buttons-css.css. Then goto line 14. Change list-style-type: none; to list-style-type: none !important; and save it. Thats all

        I must have a newer version of WP Socializer (v 2.2), as wp-socializer-buttons-css.css already has “!important” added in that spot. However, I’m still getting dots that separate each button, presumably from the theme’s style sheet. Can you give me some css to insert in the theme’s style.css to fix this? Or, is there another fix?

        Thank you for the help!

    I have a social media icon set that I would prefer to use. How do I change from the default ‘wp socializer’ images to my preference?

    • Alex B.

      I figured out how to replace the image files using my FTP File Manager with with my preferred icon set. However, if someone knows how I can just access the long code (as opposed to button code), I should be able to change the image source. Great plug-in, I’m just new to all this stuff. Thanks.

  • http://twitter.com/IAmADBAAMA Nathan Thom

    Thanks for the plugin, its the best social media one I’ve used. Can I request more custom buttons to be added, instead of just 2? e.g. I’ve got custom for the new facebook like/send and reddit but also want dzone. Also I’d like to see more 32px icons… all the ones I want except one are 32px and the lone 16px one just looks wierd.

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      You can use many buttons in one custom button. Also, you can paste custom
      button codes in the template also.

  • http://www.neilfitzgeraldphoto.co.nz/new/ Neil Fitzgerald

    Very nice plugin, but not valid HTML. The closing tag is missing from the icon list. Also unencoded ampersands in
    URLs. Would be great if you could fix those things.

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

       thanks for using my plugin, it will be gr8 if you specify me the bugs in details :)

      • http://www.neilfitzgeraldphoto.co.nz/new/ Neil Fitzgerald

        As an example, you can see your plugin working here: http://www.neilfitzgeraldphoto.co.nz/new/2011/north-cape-green-geckos/
        If you run that page through the w3c html validation service (http://validator.w3.org/) you will see closing img tags (i.e. ) are missing for each of the displayed icons (sorry, I seem to have forgotten above to say what tag was missing). Also you will see that the urls generated by your plugin have unencoded ampersands, ie “&” which should be “&”.
        If you would like more information I’m more than happy to try to provide it. Just tell me what you need to know.
        Thanks,
        Neil.

    Hello — I’m suffering from the content/excerpt problem that prevents pages from fully displaying, as discussed on your forum:
    http://www.aakashweb.com/forum/wp-socializer-f22/post-page-display-problem-t270.html

    This currently prevents me from using WP Socializer, though I would like to. Is the fix for this coming soon?

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      The developing version is fixed this bug. If you want this to cleared in
      your version, then just open “wp-socializer.php” file.

      Goto line no *912 *and remove the lines

      if(defined(‘IS_EXCERPT’) && IS_EXCERPT ){
      if(empty($post->post_excerpt)){
      $content = substr(strip_tags(strip_shortcodes($post->post_content),
      ”),0,250);
      }
      }

      • Haystack

        Beautiful. Thanks for the response! 

  • Seattleartphotographer

    Does this Plug-in have an option to prevent the ICONS to appear on certain pages.
    For instance i am using a WP purchased template which adds social Plug-ins by default on the blog page but not the other pages. So i would like to use Social Plug-ins on the other pages but keep them disabled on the blog page.
    Thank you.

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      yes, goto the posts editing page and see in the right side, you will have
      options to disable wp socializer on that page

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      If you want google +1 instantly, then do the following,
      1. Go to the custom buttons tab.
      2. Add the below code in custom 1 box

      3. Go to the placement tab. Add the button code {custom-1} in any one
      template and save it.
      Thats all

      • Fernando

        I tried to do it. But the Google +1 button doesn’t appear in the same line.. 

        • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

          Currently, no button can be placed in line with the social buttons.
          Only other buttons can be line up.
          This is because, the social buttons are wrapped with div tag. Hence the problem.
          But you can use some CSS to fix this.
          Use this

          <span style="float:right"> {custom-1} </span>
          {socialbts-16px}

          This will arrange the button.

      Hi, I am not a Bengali. I am from Tamil Nadu.
      If the buttons does not appear, then try checking the conditions(above content/below content/show in excerpts etc….) for the templates 1 and 2. It will be the reason. I tested on many versions and it worked fine.

    Please help, thanks.

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Thanks for the info. This thing happens, when you choose the buttons too fast or when the the “Added !” text is yet to hide in the selection side.

      In the next version, i should increase the fade out speed of the “Added !” text and it will solve this problem.

      Sorry for this simple issue.

     Hello, I am having troubles editing the css files to get the look I want.

    I would like to remove padding that is added to the bottom of the buttons, and I would also like to center them. I can’t figure out where that padding is being added, and wrapping the code in a div to center doesn’t work.

    I was able to edit the last version to get the look I am going for, but having troubles with this version.

    See this page for an example (I am putting it in the theme files manually so it can go in with the tags at the bottom of each post): http://www.thecanadiangambler.com/reviews/32red-casino-review/

    As you can see, there is too much space added below, and it would look much better centered. Can you please tell me what edits I need to make to fix it?

    Thanks!

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Simple thing…

      Just open http://www.thecanadiangambler.com/wp-content/plugins/wp-socializer/public/css/wp-socializer-buttons-css.css with an ordinary editor,

      Replace the lines

      .wp-socializer{
      display: block;
      margin: 0px 0px 10px;
      padding: 0px;
      }

      with,

      .wp-socializer{
      display: block;
      padding: 10px 0px 0px 250px;
      }

      This will align the buttons as you require. If this doesn’t suit you, just comment for another.

          Are you using addtoany with WP Socializer ?

          • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_D32GT366PTTUVKY5CVEHD5EXQY Jay

            no i was using the SocialButtons of WP-socializer, bt as it wasnt wrkin, coz of above stated issue i just removed it from Wp-socializer template and installed Share this plugin especially for e-mail purpose, Wp-socializer is still active for social network share counts (visible on single post only).

          • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_D32GT366PTTUVKY5CVEHD5EXQY Jay

            wud u like me to reactivate it, so that u can hav another look at it?

          • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

            yes… please activate it.. its not a problem…

          • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_D32GT366PTTUVKY5CVEHD5EXQY Jay

            I m sorry about that malaware warning… it happened because an author of the site uploaded a image located at a blacklisted website, though it was a fake alarm, i removed d post.
            and yeah i have re-activated the socialbuttons on site in your plugin… U can find Email button at bottom of individual posts

          • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

            I think, it is a universal problem.. many people face (not only people using WP Socializer) 
            Its because of the Unicoding. Even chinese, catalan and other language have this problem, when content is transferred to Outlook. Please be patient, and i am constantly working on this issue…

          • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_D32GT366PTTUVKY5CVEHD5EXQY Jay

            Its ok, and thanks for taking a look, as u hav noticed i have already replaced those social buttons with AddTo stuff, so i m in no hurry, though the SocialButtons setting used to give it more “CMS” look, i hope u will find a solution for such problem and will provide this feature with unicode compatibility in next update of WP-Socializer. Thnx and Regards, Jay

          • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

            There are some alternate ways which you can do,

            1. You use the “Addthis toolbar” and select the services which you did for the “Social buttons”.
            2. You can use the “Gmail” button.

            Thank you..

          • http://pulse.yahoo.com/_D32GT366PTTUVKY5CVEHD5EXQY Jay

            yeah i m using AddThis thing…, the problem arises when such service also adds “excerpt” in the content of the mail… as its all hindi(unicode), the content shows awkward symbols, which makes the email a spam, and also unable to understand. So just a request if u can provide urlencode of “excerpt” compatible to unicode in next version… thnx for suggestion anyways, WP-Socializer indeed is best solution/option for socializin WordPress in my book.

    I’m using WP Socializer on my blog. Fantastic plugin by the way. I noticed that you have a couple of menus on the Dashboard Admin Bar namely WP Socializer and Edit the templates. The links seem to be broken. Any reason why? Thanks.

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Thanks for the report… in version 2.1 it will be fixed..

      • Ulysses Ronquillo

    hi Akash, any plan of adding LinkedInShare in Socializer soon? thanx

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      I am planning to remove “Google buzz” in the next version. So either in the v2.2 or in 2.3, you can expect the linkedIn button. For now, you can use the “Custom” buttons options to use you own buttons. Inbuilt integration is yet to come.

  • http://lemonde.fr Nemekhbayar

    Hi Aakash,

    When one migrates from 1.0 to 2.0, the social buttons are lost. Are you considering a migration script that could keep the old buttons ? It is especially important for multi-site WordPress installation with thousands of blogs to migrate.

    Thank you.

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Can you please say what where the buttons you were using ? I’ll try to provide the restoring script. 

      Really sorry for the trouble. Can you please mention your site ?

      • http://lemonde.fr Nemekhbayar

        Thank you for the quick response.

        What I meant to say is, in 1.0 the social buttons were named, for example, “Yahoo! Bookmarks,Identi.ca,del.icio.us”.
        And in 2.0, they are named differently : “yahoobookmarks,identica,delicious”.
        Thus, if you have the old data, but the new plugin, the social buttons are not displayed correctly.

        I work for a french newspaper, we have a WordPress installation with over 8000 blogs. So it is essential for me to upgrade to 2.1 without hindrance, otherwise we will get complaints :)

        • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

          A sample blog which uses the plugin will really be useful for me… i.e i need the URL of any blog in your n/w which uses WPSR

          • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

            I think…. restoring is not possible now.. as in version 2.0 more than 30 social buttons were introduced new (some were removed and some were introduced) and the names were dramatically changed. 

            So those who upgraded from v1.0 to 2.0 forcefully had the new set of social buttons by default.

            So the old data will be overwritten and there is no way of getting the old data.
            But i think, it is not a major issue.

            In v2.0, users can easily select their old buttons, it takes only a few clicks…
            I assure that the current social buttons will be constant through out all version…

  • Westcoastsurf

    Socializer plugin conflict:

    Socializer plugins puts this CSS rule:

    .postbox:hover img{display:none;}

    .postbox
    is a WordPress class used to wrap quite a lot of stuff. That rule the
    plugin adds makes all images inside of .postbox disappear when .postbox
    is hovered. AAkash should have made that rule a bit more specific to his
    part of the plugin.

    Let AAkash know about that, i’m sure he’ll fix it.

    Thank you.

    If you want to talk about socializing on Google+ then I definitely recommend you Google Plus Socializer. I am really satisfied with it. For me WP Socializer has had many conflicts and I gave up using it. Maybe I’m too dumb:)..who knows?

    How can I remove this?? honestly, I have tried anything I could think of. I deactivated and deleted the plugin, but still stays there. also I have checked yes on the “temporary disable” thing on the panel.

        well, in fact it wasn’t the problem with this plugin. I had installed multiple plugins and one of the other ones was actually acting up and making up the mess. when the plugin is gone it is gone. no permanent touch to the content.

        see if you had the similar condition as well.

  • Anonymous

    Hi there, thanks for your plugin, superb work!!
    One question, How do I remove the “Share and Enjoy” title?
    The only reference I found is in wpsr-admin.php: 189, but i don’t want to mess the code.
    Thanks.

    • StephenU

      It’s quite easy…was trying to find this myself. If you’e in the WPSocialiser plugin settings, go to “Placement” then at the top of the page you will see Template 1 and Template 2, click on Template 2. 

      There you will see Share and Enjoy with an H3 tag. Simply delete the contents or alternatively put your own text there.

      Hope this helps!

    Hi,
    would it be possible for you to use wp_enqueue_scripts and wp_enqueue_style?
    This way you would be more compatible with other plugins manipulating the header.

    I installed this plugin on a client website, later decided to uninstall it, it is not uninstalling, I need to know what database tables does this plugin create or whatever else this plugin injects into my wp install so i can remove it, i already tried uninstalling, however widget still flashed on bottom of my homepage. Please let me know how to completely remove this plugin…

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      If you want to uninstall just delete the wp-socializer folder … why worrying ?? WP Socializer doesnt make any kind of tables or craps… if you think the buttons still appear… it is 100% not possible it will be due to other plugins… please make sure that this is not a flaw with the plugin…

  • http://www.valpocreative.com ValpoCreative

    Perhaps you should create an “Uninstall” manual for this plugin as it seems to be the hardest thing to configure with this plugin.

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      If you want to Uninstall just “Disable” or delete the plugin folder … why do you need a Uninstall page ??? this plugin is not related with database or anything which compulsorily require an uninstall page.

    This is not a problem with WP Socializer. It is a theme related issue.

    Open wp-content/themes/YOUR_THEME/style.css file.

    Add this code at the end of the file.

    .addthis_button img{
    margin-bottom: 0px;
    -moz-box-shadow: none;
    -webkit-box-shadow: none;

            You site should be configured to get the correct image. WP Socializer does nothing in tracing the image. Its the Google +1 button which looks for the image in the post.

            According to Google, you should do some manual configurations to make the button trace the correct image. You can check it out here.

      • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

        It seems there is a problem with the mootools menumatic script only. WP Socializer doesn’t interfere with that. Try choosing the navigation menu once again from the “WordPress admin ->Menus” page. It will work.

        • Venydar

          Sadly, it doesn’t. But when I disable WP Socializer, everything is back to normal. From the other hand, Firebug claims that “$(this.options.id).getElements is not a function” and points to this: http://pastebin.com/GwyRG8Bn (with plugin disabled, theres no such notification).

          • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

            The floating share bar uses jQuery and the page uses Mootools. Thats the clash. I cant get the bug also. Anyone of the script should be disabled.

          • Venydar

            So if I want to keep the menu working, I must disable your awesome plugin. It’s.. heartbreaking. Anyway – thanks for your time!

          • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

            I don’t have enough knowledge on Mootools. So I was not able to debug. The other way is, contacting the author of the MenuMatic plugin. Hope it helps.

      Hello again,

      I’ve just solved the problem. Thank you.

      I’ve find a possible problem in your plugin. If you look with the “headings addon” for firefox, you will see three supplemental headings, generated by this plugin.

      I’m the header

      You have successfully enabled FastShare!

      The headings are inserted through the iframe, but the code can be visible for Google. Can you explain how to remove these fake headings from the code and to clean the plugin ?

      • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

        There is no need for the plugin to insert text like “Fastshare” or all those things. It might be due to other plugins. If you want to confirm, Just view the page source. Codes added with WP Socializer will be wrapped with a “Added with WP Socializer plugin” comment. Text other than those are added by external sources.

    This is a great plugin.  Will you please modify wp-socializer.php, lines 1072 through 1078 to NOT load it’s own version of query?  Or if you have to load your own version, please load it using “wp_enqueue_script”. That will keep it from affecting other scripts.

    hi,
    the Facebook field within the floating share bar is bigger than the bar itself, on your site here it is cut off, on my site it just goes over the boarder of the bar. Is there any solution?

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Is english the language you use ? Also using recommend as the text can increase the button width.
      Your theme can also tweak the button position

    The settings section of this plugin is very confusing and difficult to use, there is no HowTo section or tutorial that could help in implementing the plugin.
    Support is just absent, I posted on the forum a week ago and got no replies yet, not even from forum moderator (i.e plugin staff). I am going to delete it soon and replace it with a more reliable social media tool………..

  • Sven Sevke

    Here is how you can change the language of the mouseover text of the Google+ button: edit the wp-socializer/includes/wpsr-google.php. Find the function function wpsr_plusone_script() at the beginning of the file and change the following line


        '.'

    to


        '{"lang": "de"}'.

    or whatever language code is reasonable.

    Aakash, you might want to make this configurable in the plugin backend or take the setting directly from WP.

    • Sven Sevke

       aargh … wrong code … cannot edit the last post. Here we go again:


      ''.

      to


      '{"lang": "de"}'.

      THis example is for German.

    Hi there

    There’s a small bug ar floating bar. I make the bar a fixed one in footer and I have no way to change Facebook button width. Here’s a dump of $wpsr_floatbts that the bar has:

    array(8) { ["selectedbts"]=> string(38) “Facebook,Retweet,Google +1,Email,Print” ["position"]=> string(12) “bottom_fixed” ["theme"]=> string(5) “white” ["insingle"]=> string(1) “1″ ["inpage"]=> string(1) “1″ ["disabled"]=> NULL ["floatleft_movable"]=> string(1) “1″ ["bottomfixed_width"]=> string(3) “900″ } 

    Please add or just use the setting from the sharing button.

    Best regards

    great plugin, love it, but i have translation problem when i save the file wp-socializer.php as UTF8

    what i meaning: i what to change the message of each button to appear in my language (greek) so, the file stored these texts must be in utf8 format.

    i made my change
     ’print’ => array(
    ‘name’ => ‘Εκτύπωση’,
    ‘titleText’ => __(‘Εκτύπωση της δημοσίευσης ‘, ‘wpsr’) . ”,
    i save the file as uft8 and then, when i am going to save a post, or a page, the screen goes blank! the document is saved, but i must click on back button in my browser to see something!

    even i did not any change in the file, only the change of the format cause this problem!

    can you please look for this?

  • A Duncan

    Hi there. I really like this plug-in, but the latest update affected my navigation bar in two ways: 

    1. Drop down menus no longer appeared
    2. Selected menu items weren’t highlighted as designed so it wasn’t easy for a user to see what page they were on

    I’ve deactivated the WP Socializer plugin and both issues immediately resolved. I use the Suffusion theme and noticed another post in their support forum of someone having the same issues. Theirs were also resolved by deactivating this plug-in.

    Could you please fix this? I’d like to continue to use WP Socializer, but the menu functionality on my site is more important if I have to choose.

    Thank you.

    • http://www.darkdesigngraphics.co.uk/ Alasdair

      Ah yes, it might have been my post you saw. I really love this plugin has been the best social plugin I have tried so far, so it was a shame when I had to disable it! :(  

      It made the featured content image slider on my website stop working, just disappeared altogether leaving a blank white space. It seems this plugin may not be working with the suffusion theme as this is what I am using as well. There where a few other posts under mine explaining that it was this plugin that was effecting everything.

      Hope you get a work around soon, I haven’t really found another social plugin which has the features I like!

      Regards

      • MrMiyamoto

        v2.4.5 onward has broken the image slider in PageLines themes too. I have to disable WP Socializer until this gets fixed now. :/

    • Kenny

      This is a great plugin, period. ;)

      However, I have the same issue as “A Duncan” and “Alasdair” using the Alyeska WordPress theme. It is causing a javascript error (referencing the superfish javascript file), which is causing my photo slider, main menu drop-downs and other javascript plugins to fail.

      I would be happy to provide detailed information of the javascript conflict, as it seems it is not a theme-specific issue – just let me know. There are other comments below using various themes with (seemingly) javascript-related conflicts.

      I love this plugin, but it is currently disabled until the issue can be resolved. Let me know if I can be of further assistance in an attempt to fix the incompatibility.

    I love your plugin but it conflicts with another plugin called Premium List Magnet. Premium List Magnet generates a forced pop-up opt-in or ad window that the user can close. I have the pop-up set to appear after fifteen seconds on every fifth visit to a page. After installing WP Socializer, every time a page comes up on my site, after fifteen seconds it darkens (like what happens when the PLM pop up appears). Clicking anywhere on the page then brings the original coloration back. I tried disabling the floating social bar but it did not resolve the issue

    Dear Aakash,

    I have installed WP-Socializer on multiple sites. I did some debugging and it appears it calls the same SQL queries again and again. Do you think it is because of the SQL timeout error or something else? I have the entire machine to me so I am not sure what else can be done to prevent this from happening. If I remove the WP-Socializer plugin the SQL query count decreases by 90%.

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Hello Marco, WP Socializer doesn’t do ANY SQL queries and there is no need for the plugin. Its work is to just insert social buttons in the post. Even for saving the settings, WPSR uses the native API provided by WordPress. If you are sure that its a confirm plugin problem, I am ready to update if I am informed about the specific lines of the plugin file. Thank you.

  • http://twitter.com/OurH_careSucks John Lynch

    My question has to do with the disable template 1 and disable template 2 functions from prior versions. I’ve upgraded to v. 2.4.5 and it seems this template system has been replaced with short codes. is this correct? if so, why are my template choices still there in the post editor and active? They seem redundant and may conflict. I’ve also had problems with BOTH templates appearing after I check one or both NOT to appear. They seem to have a mind of their own. Any suggestions?

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Are you talking about “Disabling individual templates in a specific post/page” ??? Nothing is changed there. It is same as in old versions. It will work as expected. And, I am not able to get the actual problem you are talking about… can you please detail it ??

      • http://twitter.com/OurH_careSucks John Lynch

        Sure. The disable functions arbitrarily change. If I set a post or page to show template 1 or 2 only, a day later it displays both (meaning two redundant rows of share icons at bottom). Disabling one or both doesn’t seem to “stick”.

        An unrelated question: Can I disable/remove wp-socializer temporarily (or permanently) without losing the likes, tweets, etc. it records?

        Thanks.

    Hello there Aakash. Man, looks like Disqus swallowed my comment… and I didn’t copied it… whatever, looks like I will have to write it all over again. Here we go:

    Here’s the thing Aakash: I really, REALLY like the WP Socializer plugin and I LOVE the Floating Bar. I also appreciate that we can add an eMail button and a Print button in it. However, there are some features the Floating Bar doesn’t have that I really need for my site. I think other folks in here would appreciate these features too, so if that’s ok, I’d like to list here some features I want to see implemented in the next WP Socializer update:

    1. I see that you implemented a “Top” button link within your own Floating Bar. So, I suggest you implement an option for adding a Top Button and a Home Button to the Floating Bar. You could either do that or you could write a tutorial about how to embed custom buttons in our Floating Bar, just like you did with yours. I’ve seen several tutorials in here about how to edit static templates, but not on how to customize the Floating Bar itself.

    2. I also suggest you implement an option that allows us to show the Floating Bar on the HomePage.

    3. Finally, I also suggest that you implement an option to appear within the Edit Post and Edit Page interface that allows us to choose if we want to use WP Socializer within THAT specific post/page we are editing, or not. I’m talking about a box within the Edit interface that says something like: “Do you want to Disable WP Socializer on this page?” and one of those small white boxes that can be checked or unchecked to activate the option or not.

    This is it. Thank you for your attention Aakash, and I really hope you implement these features for the next update.

    Like… pretty please?? As I said, I bet other users would be pleased with the implementation of these features! :D

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Hello Neoglitch,

      Thanks for using my plugin. These are awesome ideas and those were already planned in my mind.

      I’ll slowly implement one by one in the plugin.
      I’m sorry for this but you will get these features in an update interval.
      This is just to keep the plugin improvement under control and make it neat and bug free.
      I’ve planned to implement the 3rd request in the very next version.

      Thank you.

      • Neoglitch

        Awesomesauce! Thank you for your answer Aakash. I’m more than willing to wait for each update :D

      • Neoglitch

        Aakash, if that’s ok, I would like to add one more thing:

        Implementing the option of adding a ShareThis (or AddThis) button to the Floating Bar (a button that opens up even more sharing options, just like the one you have in your Floating Bar) would be a neat feature to implement too.

  • Todd Schafer

    I am having trouble with wp socializer linked in share feature. There are images available from the site that you can add when sharing, but there are only two options and they aren’t the option that i want for the share. How can i use a particular image other than the two that it gives me? Where are these pulled from?

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      WP Socializer doesn’t deal with this. Its the linkedIn’s program to retrieve to more images from your site. Google+ traces more images but others fail. It’s their design.

      Maybe you should try adding meta tags to give more info about site. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-facebook-open-graph-protocol/

    Problem with the bar floating in the middle of the page: I tried adjusting the .js script that was mentioned in another thread changing the “25″ to a higher number (“500″ worked perfectly for me), but the problem after is once properly aligned on the page prior to scrolling, when I scroll down the page instead of the bar floating down the page as it should, it disappears. I assume it disappears because of the floating width change, ultimately pushing it out of view. So what do I have to change to push it back to the same position as it is when static?

    Hi i’ve used this plugin but in individual posts the share links opens in new tab instead of new window. I;ve added this $(document).ready(function(){
    $(‘.wp-socializer a’).click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    var url = $(this).attr(‘href’);
    win = window.open(url,’window’,'height=350,width=550′);
    });
    });

    javascript in footer also, but of no use :(
    , can u please help me to resolve this issue

      Currently implementing the share link needs some small modifications. Its a nice idea.. I’ll implement it as a default feature if possible… Thank you..

    Hello,

    I’ve installed Socializer on http://assoprog.com
    But BitDefender seems to detect a Trojan virus (Trojan.iframe.BMY) when I clic on the link..

    Any Idea of where it may come from ?

      Sorry, this plugin is WP Socializer and not “Socializer”

    I have the latest version Version 2.4.9 installed. Is the automatic twitter handle (@handle) option no longer available? It isn’t showing on our blog now. Any help appreciated. Thanks.

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Hello, you can add the handle under “Button settings” -> Retweet and Digg

    Hi How do you disable the Floating bar in Mobile Mode???? You added the new feature which is great but you did not add an option to disable it for the people who might not want it

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Hello, currently there is no feature. I’ll add it in the next version. Thank you.

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      I’ve made a temporary edit to solve the problem. Just replace the file attached with the file “/wp-socializer/trunk/public/js/wp-socializer-floating-bar-js.js”
      Thank you.

    Hello,

    SUPERB WP plugin! But please make me happy and explain how I can add ‘Share This’ button to floating left bar? I can’t find that button in Floating Share Bar settings.

    Cheers.

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Hello, its a nice feature. But instead of sharethis, you can use the ordinary buttons also. Both does the same thing. But in Sharethis you get a dedicated “sharethis” button. I’ll sure make some plans for implementing this. Thank you.

  • Eric

    One more thing.

    In mobile mode, when clicking on green button to open button holder – all buttons overlap each other. Check attached image.

    Any solution for this maybe?

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Hmm… seems to be a problem I suppose. Thanks for the report. If you want to disable the mobile view, please download the attached file and replace it with the file “/wp-socializer/trunk/public/js/wp-socializer-floating-bar-js.js”Thank you.

        Thanks! Actually I need mobile mode so I will gladly wait for an solution when you have time to develop it :)

        • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

          The mobile mode is just made as an experiment. It will be trimmed a lot to suit all. I’m sure that I’ll make some changes to work properly. Thank you.

    Floating bar problem

    I’ve read on that a lot of people are having problems with the positioning of the floating bar. I have the latest version and you can’t adjust it correctly. If you adjust it to see it properly on chrome then it is on the center of the screen in firefox. Your plugin is amazing but I had to deactivate the bar because of this issue.

    • http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

      Hello, I think the first paragraph is started from the middle of the page. What value you entered in the “Distance between post and the floating share bar” field under the “Floating sharebar” page ???

      Did you refresh the page in Firefox ?? Thank you.

      • Miguel

        I’ve set it to 25 px. I’ve been playing around and I’ve discover that I’m having the problem only in the posts. In pages it works correctly. I show two pictures of the same post . The first one is using firefox and the second chrome.

        Thank you

    Hello,

    Just a question. Is it possible to control when the green mobile mode badge appears? Because now on tablets it doesn’t show. Visitor need to squeeze the page a lot before it show up. Please let me know where I can change that value.

    All best.

    Thanks for the awesome plugin! Is it possible to add my twitter handle so that it auto-populates with the twitter link?

  • Eric

    Hello again,

    I don’t know if some misconfiguration occurred from my side, but plugin will currently accept votes and FB likes ONLY on home page – not on sub pages or similar. Have I missed some setting maybe?
