Remove @sharethis twitter tweet

Hi,
Can you please make sure that updating sharethis settings from sharethis plugin configuration page is saving the settings for your blog?
Once the handle-name is provided from the sharethis plugin configuration page and settings are saved, the sharethis span tag added to the code for twitter button gets modified to :
<span st_via=’username’ st_username=’username’ class=’st_twitter_buttons’ st_title='<?php the_title(); ?>’ st_url='<?php the_permalink(); ?>’ displayText=’twitter’></span>

Please check and let us know if it still doesn’t work for you.

I have changed the settings to my username ‘TeamWON’ and have adjusted the sharethis span tag to both

<span st_via=’username’ st_username=’username’ class=’st_twitter_buttons’ st_title='<?php the_title(); ?>’ st_url='<?php the_permalink(); ?>’ displayText=’twitter’></span>

and by replacing ‘username’ with ‘TeamWON’ and neither eliminated the “via @sharethis” from the tweet button on the side bar.

Can you help with this issue?

Hello,
The option to change the “via @sharethis” for the button on ShareThis Hoverbar is not present right now. So you can only modify the “via @sharethis” for Sharing buttons on your blog(and not for the ones on the Hoverbar).

how do we remove it from the hoverbar ?

this is very annoying and obviously we don’t get any credit at all for our company..

Hello, I would also really like to use our own twitter address @salesagentsuk on the Hoverbar (which is beautiful BTW). I hope that you are able to update this soon.

I wouldn’t mind sharing the space with you / via @salesagentsuk @sharethis

I appreciate what you do. Thanks!

Laura

For those using the ShareThis Hover Bar, Click to modify other widget options then insert the code below in the var options object in

chicklets_params: {
                    twitter:{
                    "st_via":"TwitterHandleName"
                  }
   }

For those using the ShareThis Hover Bar, Click to modify other widget options then insert the code below in the var options object in

chicklets_params: {
twitter:{
“st_via”:”TwitterHandleName”
}
}

This didn’t seem to work. I put it in the var options.

Hello User,

Thanks for the information regarding the Twitter Handle.

Here is the detailed information about changing the Twitter Handle in Hoverbar –

If you have installed the WP Plugin then go to –
https://YOUR SITE URL/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=sharethis.php

Scroll down the page and inside the box written below –
” [+] Click to modify other widget options.”

Make the changes as –
“chicklets_params: { twitter:{ “st_via”:”TwitterHandleName” } },

Then the code should look like this –

<script>
var options={ "publisher": "YOUR PUBLISHER KEY", "position": "right", "ad": { "visible": true, "openDelay": 5, "closeDelay": 0, }, "chicklets": { "items": ["facebook", "linkedin", "pinterest", "email", "sharethis", "twitter"]}, chicklets_params: { twitter:{ "st_via":"TwitterHandleName" } } };
var st_hover_widget = new sharethis.widgets.hoverbuttons(options);
</script>

Hi – I am looking to do this (change the via in the hover bar) however when I made the changes the hover bar just disappeared all together.

I wasn’t sure if the code provided by sharethissupport was suppose to become the only code in the ” [+] Click to modify other widget options.” or pick up where it seems to start from the code that was already in the box. Same results either way.

Any thoughts?
