where is the “placement template”?
http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

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.

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

A reply is posted for your bug in the forum. See it

Hi there
I downloaded this plugin two days ago (and love it btw). However, since I installed it my rss feed is only showing up part of the post in eg google reade. any idea why?
cheers

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

I tried your feed, but it works good for me ! please post this issue in support forum for frequent concentration

http://twitter.com/dswordpress Cathy

On Tristancoopersmith.com the print/pdf button only gets me to the printfriendly website with the post title but no content – any idea why?
Svalander

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://www.jlgatewood.com/ J.L. “J7″ Gatewood StarrWulfe

I’m gonna try this plug in NOW. Gotta be easier than the rest!
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!

Hi I have a question, When I add the 16px buttons. Half of other buttons show underneath them Like under my twitter button, HALF of the reddit button shows up. I dont know what to do. Help pls? Thank you!

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..

Esteban

Great plugin!!! Rated: 5stars.
Joe

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!

Joe

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

Hi Joe !! many report this issue and i am working on this one for a solution. Thanks for using WP Socializer !!

Annika

Hi,This looks really god! My question to you is if it´s poosible to place the buttons anywhere in my theme. I would like to have them under the sliderRegardsAnnika

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 !!

http://twitter.com/iD4RO ishmael n. daro

Fantastic plugin, but is there a way to make the twitter button use WordPress’s post IDs instead of the pretty permalink? Something like example.com/?p=123 would be much easier to tweet than the full thing.

Thanks for your work.

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

nice idea !! i am working on version 2 of this plugin . i will soon implement this option ! thanks

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

Instead of example.com/?p=123 format bit.ly will be implemented.

http://twitter.com/IanMcKendrick Ian McKendrick

Including Bit.ly links would be awesome, Can’t wait for this change to be implemented. Any idea when this will be released?
Thanks

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

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 !!

hi.
best social plugin there is !! and i checked many…
i do have two questions:
1. how can i add: “share via gmail”, “share via yahoo!mail” buttons ?
2. how can i change the title text when mouse-over the icons ?
thank you very nuch
oren

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

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 ?
2. isn’t there no way to change mouse-over text even through the code ? my site is not in english and i want the tool-tips to be in my language isn’t there any way ?
thanks again

Oren

and one more thing if i may:
right now, the icons are right under the posts but i want it to show in the “after_content” because i want to add a line in the “after_post” section..
how can i do it ?
thanks
oren

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

Yup its bit confusing for me :p can u please give the URL of the page so that it can be useful.
Whats that “after_content” and “after_post” ??
Oren

hi.
you can look in this page: http://www.cannabook.net/support-us/
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.
Oren

great man !! thank you
i subscribed for the newsletter…
any idea on when the next update will publish ?

thanks again !
http://www.aakashweb.com/ Aakash Chakravarthy

Thanks… not sure when… but the in next version is still more user friendly with more buttons and features. I am currently working on it

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

It doesn’t work. I’ll use a different plugin.

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!

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.

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.

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!?

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://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 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.

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.

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

I just popped along to ask if you’d be adding +1 buttons, but MrMiyamoto beat me to it! Great plugin, love it.

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.

template and save it.

But li makes a list. And I don’t want the list icons…
Thanks for your help! = )

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

If you want the list-less version, then use this
<span style="float:left"> {retweet-bt} </span><span style="float:left"> {digg-bt} </span><span style="float:left"> {facebook-like}</span><span style="clear:all"></span>

How can I add Google+1 to the WP Socializer please?

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

f 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

Randy

I added that custom code as you described above but don’t see anything showing up in the post.

Anyway, nice website and plugins. U r good!
Two things about this plugin, The {social-bts-32px}/{social-bts-16px} Works Great but facing problems with the Buttons I can not see buttons sometime. Max time Digg and retweet button disappears.
In next plugin version please provide Alignments for Placement option.

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.

will try it thanks! I have addthis already, is there a way to chose the buttons. . . wiat, i’ll simply use addthis

Aakash,
I absolutely love the new version 2.0 Beta of the WP Socializer.

I can’t find a list of the button codes anywhere. Where are they?
Thanks.

Hello,

Just installed on WP3.2.1 under CentOS 6, sorry that only “…/wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp_socializer_other” is able to see the content on the Dashboard.

Placement (“../wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp_socializer”) and Settings (“../wp-admin/admin.php?page=wp_socializer#tab-10″) screen are blank.

Seems the installation is succeed as 9 icons are showup on the default WP’s “Hello World” page.

Please help, thanks.

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

I also heard similar issues from some people. Currently cant get the reason. But still working on to get the solution. Anyway, what theme you are using and whats your PHP version ?

Felix

Thanks for yr reply.
XAMPP1.7.1 packed with (PHP5.2.9 + MySQL5.1.33)
Default “Twenty Eleven1.2″ theme come w/ WP3.2.1 without any non-default setting and other plugins!

Just an absolutely new WP setting for testing WP Socialize!

Agreed, it may bit to find this kind of issue!!
Anyway, wish these info helpful. Thx.

Felix

Hello,

Also found that it show “Added !” instead of the actual “Live” !

Rgds

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.

Felix

Great for your attention.

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.

Todd

Perfect, thanks! Had to change things a little bit since I’m using 32px on pages and 16px on posts, but it works.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

DrSpooN

I’m looking to change the size of the font for the “Share and Enjoy” where can I find that code?

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

Simple, just go to the “Placement” tab (highlighted in green color) and then click the “Template 2″ tab.

In that page, you will see a text box containing the code. Just change the text, size or anything you want.

Note that WP Socializer is entirely customizable !

Hi Aakash, I dont want to create an account on your forum.
Great job with the plugin. There is a css style on the adim which is too agressive:
.postbox:hover img{display:none;}

can you please make it
wp-socializer.postbox:hover img{display:none;}

otherwise it affects other boxes as well (and makes wpml unusable)

Thanks!

Hi Aakash, Love the plugin upgrade but still don’t know how to get the google +1 button?

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

Its easy to get. Just go to the “Placement” tab (green colored). In that tab, you have menus to insert the google+1 button. Insert Google +1 from the menu.

The other method is, there are some inbuilt templates which have google +1 button. Just select them from the “One-click” tab.

For more info, see this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0G-joyseg7U

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

Go to the “Placement” tab under “Template 1″, in the textbox, you will see a code
left:20px;width:55px

Replace that with left:20px;width:55px;top:80px;
Change top:80px according to your needs.

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.

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…

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.

Conflicts with some themes (Nuance is one theme)

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

Just open… wp-socializer/admin/wpsr-admin.php and remove the line 1607 and save it…

Valentin Biaggio

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?

Cheers guys!

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.

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!

would it be possible for you to use wp_enqueue_scripts and wp_enqueue_style?

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.
