I want to style the button and add Total share count but don’t know how to step in, because I’m new to either javascript or CSS.
I’ve tried search in wpbeginner.com for the tutorial/guide but find nothing. But I find a post that can be the clue for my case. Click here please located in Javascript-free Social Sharing.
I really appreciate who can help and answer my question completely.
As the plugin has not been updated for years and there are plenty of unsolved little quirks it has developed without any response from any developer, has anyone found a decent alternative to it?
]]>Floating Social Bar version 1.1.7
Site hosted on WP Engine
Link many of your plugins that I use, this is a great plugin and well used by my customers for the past couple years. We just changed this site to be fully secured with https on all pages. The Pinterest counts are still there, but the FaceBook Like count dropped from 1.3k to 0. Is there anything that can be done to bring the FaceBook counts back?
Thank you for any suggestions that you may have.

I’m looking for info on troubleshooting why posts suddenly lost their count of likes a few weeks ago. Any ideas why this might have happened? Nothing changed in the slug structure.
]]>Hi, I am getting the following error:
[09-Sep-2016 22:04:53 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Cannot use object of type stdClass as array in ../public_html/wp-content/plugins/floating-social-bar/class-floating-social-bar.php on line 687
I am using the latest version of the plugin: Floating Social Bar 1.1.7
I saw there are other similar topics, but old and all of them are closed.
Any ideas how to fix it?
]]>I would like to use home page buttons on everypage, so the plugin should use home url on every page. As home page has bigger number of likes that why we want home page counters every where.
is this possible?
]]>I’ve noticed any punctuation included in a page title gets converted to unicode when shared on Twitter. Is there any way around this?
]]>Been getting a fair few shares and likes – but counter has not updated in weeks.
Could you help
]]>Hi, I uploaded the floating social media bar and it was working until I changed to the Gridster-LiteVersion: 1.0.6.3 theme.
My url https://www.jacquirawson.org/
Thanks heaps for any help.
]]>It would be great if you worked the UI so that when you move the widget in the post screen, you would avoid this:
https://www.evernote.com/l/AA4jXa62D5ZNW6TPbU26M4Mme0KtWUf7KGo
And the other request would be to update it so we can pick a retina-friendly set of logos out of the box, or a flat colored “theme”?
Thanks so much anyway for all the work!
]]>Hello,
Recently I noticed that on click of Facebook Like, when it has to open a DIV with Share form, that form became very narrow – basically it’s width is limited by the width of a like-button placeholder.
It seems that plugin outputs the placeholder DIV for SocialiteJS v1.0 with the parameter
data-width="60"
Which then Solilite converts into
<IFRAME ... WIDTH="60" ...
The result – the Share “popup” is only 78px wide, looks like it’s cut out.
Is there any way to fix that? It was working normally before recent WP 4.5 upgrade…
Thank you
]]>Hello,
Because I have a floating menu, is no possible to have this plugin on top also. When I scroll this plugin is on top on my floating menu. How to move this floating social bar at bottom.
I’ve tried change the CSS for the “div id=”fsb-social-bar”” from :
#fsb-social-bar.fsb-fixed {
position: fixed;
top: -2px;
z-index: 99999;
}into
#fsb-social-bar.fsb-fixed {
position: fixed;
bottom: -2px;
z-index: 99999;
}It seems that is working, but the change I made it in Google Chrome, using Inspect Element feature.
Where is located this CSS file because it seems that I can’t find it? As a location, it seems that CSS file should be in the index.php, and that is not possible.
Thank you in advance!
]]>Hi guys. Have only recently “discovered” your plugin after learning of the speed advantages of CSS sprites and the socialite script. I have to say, the Floating Social Bar is far and away the fastest social media plugin out there. Many thanks for sharing it with the community.
I have been searching for a way to customise the default social media buttons and add an email share button (one that opens the reader’s email account with a link to the post automatically included).
I have just come across a blog post extolling the virtues of your Floating Social Bar, and her social media icons are exactly the sort of thing I am after. She’s also including an email share icon. The post to which I refer is here.
Would be most appreciative if you could advise how I could change the default FSB buttons to look like those I’ve linked to, and how I could add an email share button.
Cheers
Ross
Dear Syed, dear Thomas
thank you for this superb plugin! My question: Is there any way to update the images of the buttons? They are not up to date anymore. Especially the google plus button is still in the old look and feel of google and this makes the entire page look dated.
Thanks again and best wishes,
Martin
]]>The twitter counter doesn’t show. All the other social media platforms do. Twitter happens to be at the top, so I don’t know if it’s a twitter issue per se or if the top of the image is just being cut off.

]]>The Twitter name that I’m using has recently changed. How do I change an already exiting Twitter name
]]>would appreciate to offer an option to align the bar to center, instead of only left, which ain’t using the screen estate optimally.

]]>Would you consider sharing to “Pocket” or “Read it Later” for people who want keep your pages for dedicated reading time later (eg, when they’re travelling on the train).
]]>Hi there, the twitter counter is not working. I checked also your website wpbeginner and it is not working there either.
]]>Hi there. The website I work with would like to switch social share plugins. Is there any way to transfer existing stats or will they automatically be lost when installing a new/different social share plugin?
Any help would be much appreciated.

]]>When sites using “Simple Colorbox” plugin also use “Floating Social Bar” (FSB) Plugin the colorbox “picks up” an extra image which forces an error message.
You can view this behavior on any blog post of mine: Example: https://franksdesigns.com/custom-return-address-stamps/
YOu’ll see 3 images, the Colorbox reports 4 images, loads the second image first (the first REAL image) If you go back to the first image you get a blank item with this error: “This image failed to load.”
This was also posted here: https://github.com/jackmoore/colorbox/issues/750
]]>I love the look of this plugin but it prompts for the admin and password of every page I visit in my site.
]]>Is there a way to get FSB to show for every post listed on the landing page?
I’m currently inserting it with the shortcode for each post but when sharing its adding Facebook0Google+0 etc to the posts.
Blog is theannoyedadmin.com and you can see an example of what happens when sharing here: facebook.com/TheAnnoyedAdmin
Thanks in advance.
