Hi Mike,

1) Regarding “NO ICON” issue. The issue is with your theme. The theme you are currently using “matchboard” is appending class “fab” to support FontAwesome 5 icon set. There is no issue seen with WP Socializer.

There is a solution to this issue. WP Socializer by default supports “fontawesome 5”. So you can select the icon set to fontawesome 5 under settings --> Font icon = fontawesome 5

2) Regarding “LINKEDIN” issue. It looks like linkedin stopped supporting accepting page summary. WP Socializer is passing post summary for sharing which breaks linked in site.

To solve this, please edit the following. In wp-socializer\core\lists.php replace line 328 'link' => 'https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url={url}&title={title}&summary={excerpt}', with this 'link' => 'https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url={url}',

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi srubenst,

Thanks for posting your issue here. Please note that no big change was made to shortcoder this month. I have no reported issue like this. So if it was working couple of days before then it should work today also.

Anyways, I can’t debug it from my side as this issue is not reproducible.
I need your help to share a temporary administrator credential with which I can login and check the issue.
It can be deleted once issue is found.

Can you please share it in contact form ?

Contact

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi Thomas, I can help you add instagram to the mobile sharebar and you can link it to your profile page.

Please follow the below steps,

1) Please add the below code to your theme’s function.php file before ?>

function wpsr_instagram_msb($buttons){
    $buttons['instagram']['link'] = 'YOUR_INSTAGRAM_URL';
    $buttons['instagram']['features'] = array( 'for_profile', 'for_share' );
    return $buttons;
}
add_filter('wpsr_mod_social_icons_list', 'wpsr_instagram_msb');

(also replace your instagram profile url in the above code )

Thanks,
Aakash

This issue was discussed via email, sharing the below solution discussed.

Got it.. looks like you copied the shortcode from the below highlighted location and pasted it in the post’s “visual editor”
Below highlighted tag is contenteditable. So when you copy and paste from it, the shortcode is wrapped with contenteditable tag. So the shortcode is editable.

There are two workarounds,
1) you can paste the copied shortcode to notepad and copy it from there again to strip off the content editable tag.
2) use the “insert shortcode” button in the post editor toolbar.

Hi Thomas, Thanks for using WP Socializer plugin.

The reason instagram button is not present in mobile sharebar because “mobile sharebar” feature is used when users want ti “share” the current page in other social networking sites.

Since we cannot share links on instagram, the button is not present in “mobile sharebar”

Whereas you can use instagram in “follow bar” feature and provide your instagram URL since instagram site hosts your profile.

Hope you understand. Please let me know if you need more clarity.

Thanks,
Aakash

Hi, thanks for the idea. This has been proposed by many people and I’m finding some way to do this. It may take some time as I need to design and establish a proper framework for this. I’ll update once if this is implemented.

Hi gt1020,

Once shortcode is created, the “shortcode name” cannot be edited by default always. It is not a behavior change in 4.1.8

The reason is, once shortcode is created, most people will insert them into posts and pages. Later if the shortcode name is changed, then all the shortcodes in all the pages have to be edited.

To avoid this shortcode name cannot be edited.

To go forward in your case, you can create a new shortcode with the new name and copy paste the old shortcode content and delete the old one.

This way is preferred because people are aware that the old shortcode won’t work and new one has to be replaced in all the posts and pages.

Thanks for reporting the issue.
Issue is fixed in version 4.1. Please upgrade the plugin and let me know again.
