Like the issue reported on this forum https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/php-deprecation-notices-3/
I too have these notices! But this issue has been closed?
I am on version 2.1.6

So the question is also: is this plugin still supported?

Is there a wordpress “share this” button plugin

I am using a shortcode [feather_share show=”twitter, facebook” hide=”reddit, pinterest, linkedin, tumblr, mail”] in a text module in Divi. The icons show up but the one I really needed, FB is missing.

I’m not sure if this is relevant but then I saw new error about my FB feed in the bottom right corner. I dont use a FB feed. I looked in the dashboard and there is a Facebook Feed option in the menu probably created by the Smash Balloon Custom Facebook Feed. Did you install that as a bundle? I don’t remember having it. I removed it as I dont see why I would need it create a sharing button.

So my question is, why does the FB button not show up so I can share my event on FB?

On the website you link to show the plugin in action, it has how many times the post was shared. How do we display this?

Dear Support Team,
I want to integrate social sharing via shortcode but each page the social icons should have differrent position (left, right, centered). I tried to add class:

[feather_share class=”socialposition”]

Annd add individual css on each page via custom page css. But the position is always taken from settings. Any idea how to accomplish my needs?

.socialposition .synved-social-container.synved-social-container-share {
text-align: center !important;
}

There are a couple of lines of code that are generating PHP deprecation notices as we update a client site to PHP 8.2:

[02-Feb-2024 20:13:43 UTC] PHP Deprecated: Constant FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING is deprecated in /app/wp-content/plugins/social-media-feather/synved-plugout/synved-plugout-core.php on line 290

$request_uri = filter_input( INPUT_SERVER, 'REQUEST_URI', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING );

Looks like this impacts line 291 as well. FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING has been deprecated since PHP 7.3. Since the constant has been deprecated maybe you can replace it with htmlspecialchars? Untested code below YMMV:

// Fetch raw REQUEST_URI
$request_uri_raw = filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, 'REQUEST_URI', FILTER_UNSAFE_RAW);

// Sanitize manually
$request_uri = htmlspecialchars($request_uri_raw, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8');

Additionaly deprecation notices for passing a null param:

[02-Feb-2024 20:14:18 UTC] PHP Deprecated: strlen(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /app/wp-content/plugins/social-media-feather/synved-social/synved-social.php on line 611

[02-Feb-2024 20:14:18 UTC] PHP Deprecated: strtolower(): Passing null to parameter #1 ($string) of type string is deprecated in /app/wp-content/plugins/social-media-feather/synved-social/synved-social.php on line 613

Here’s some untested sample code that should check if the values are strings, but again YMMV

if (false === isset($vars['url'], $vars['short_url'])) {
    $home_url = home_url();
    // Ensure $req_uri is a string to avoid passing null to strtolower or substr
    $req_uri = filter_input(INPUT_SERVER, 'REQUEST_URI', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING) ?? '';

    $path = wp_parse_url($home_url, PHP_URL_PATH);
    // Ensure $path is a string before passing it to strlen()
    $path_len = strlen($path ?? '');

    if (strtolower(substr($req_uri, 0, $path_len)) === strtolower($path ?? '')) {
        $req_uri = substr($req_uri, $path_len);
    }

    $url = home_url($req_uri);
    $short_url = $url;

    if (false === empty($id) && true === in_the_loop()) {
        $use_shortlinks = boolval(synved_option_get('synved_social', 'use_shortlinks'));
        $url = get_permalink($id);
        $short_url = wp_get_shortlink($id);

        if (false === empty($short_url)) {
            if (true === $use_shortlinks && function_exists('wp_get_shortlink')) {
                $url = $short_url;
            }
        } else {
            $short_url = $url;
        }
    } elseif (true === is_front_page()) {
        $url = $home_url;
    }

    if (false === isset($vars['url'])) {
        $vars['url'] = $url;
    }

    if (false === isset($vars['short_url'])) {
        $vars['short_url'] = $short_url;
    }
}

Will you be updating the plugin soon to reflect the branding change for X (formerly Twitter)?

Hy all,

The latest release of Mozilla Firefox tells me that my site is not safe because there is tracking content. At the first check the tracking sites are due to: https://ws.sharethis.com

https://connect.facebook.net

Everything is linked to the Social Media Feather plugin.

The plugin is very nice and I would like to continue using it to share blog posts, but I would like more security.

How can this problem be solved?

Hi there. Are there plans to add support for Threads?

Hy,

I’ve installed latest version 2.1.3 but Admin Bar in Home is not showed. The admin bar in home is showed only if I disable the plugin.

No others plugins interfere.

Can anyone solve ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello WordPress Social Media Feather support team!

I have been using your plugin and have noticed some entries in my WordPress installation that appear to be related to its functionality. These entries have names like “wpsd_option_mozrank,” “wpsd_option_bitly,” among others.

I would like to confirm if these entries indeed belong to your plugin and how I can clearly identify the ones generated by WordPress Social Media Feather.

I have reviewed the documentation and available resources, but I haven’t found specific information about these entries. I would like to better understand their purpose and how I can differentiate them from other entries that may exist in my WordPress installation.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide guidance on how to identify these entries and any additional relevant information to understand their functioning.

Thank you for your attention and support!

Best regards, Fotov60

Has this plugin been tested with WordPress 6.1.1? Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

From last update in the blog and posts disappers admin bar .
Any issue ?
Thanks

Hi, for some reason, the share buttons are not showing at all on Firefox. Can you fix this?

Hi Folks,

Upon upgrading my server to PHP 8 I’m seeing a Social Media Feather conflict with Yoast SEO plugin.

The error is, “Warning: Undefined array key “automatic_follow” in /wp-content/plugins/social-media-feather/synved-social/synved-social-setup.php on line 931″

If I disable Yoast, the error goes away.

I’m seeing a few of these errors on the web when I search for solutions, but I didn’t find any solutions.

Is this a known conflict? If so, do you have a fix or work around?

Thanks,
Adam

Hello,
Since I updated the plugin to Version 2.1.0, I am getting a syntax error. Specific: [02-Mar-2022 22:16:02 UTC] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘?’ in…plugins/social-media-feather/synved-option/synved-option-item.php on line XXX
(My WordPress is WordPress 5.9.1)
Please see if you can fix it.
All the best.

Hi Support. Welcome back !
Since the update, the FOLLOW icons are now showing at end of POSTS (pages are OK):

View post on imgur.com

Despite the setting being OFF as always:

View post on imgur.com

I toggled the setting ON/OFF, same problem.
This has worked OK for years, now just become an issue.
Thanks, and keep up the good work,

Wordfence is saying this plugin has been removed from www.ads-software.com.

Can the developers say why? Will it be restored soon?

When I try to add the Social Media Feather “follow us” icons widget I receive the error message “The response is not a valid JSON response.”

I am using a plug in to track 404 errors and SM Feather is showing hundreds of 404s from WP Content even though I have uninstalled the plugin. I want to use your plugin but can you tell me how to delete any instance of the plugin first to stop these errors from occurring please

For various reasons I had to delete your app but I am still getting plenty of 404 errors (I’m using link juice to trap 404s) see below example. I’m assuming they relate to the button images from the app?

/wp-content/plugins/social-media-feather/synved-social/image/social/regular/32×32/pinterest.pn

wp-content/plugins/social-media-feather/synved-social/image/social/regular/64×64/tumblr.png

If I add the word Share as a prefix markup, is there a way to give it a class so that I can use CSS styling.

Currently it appears above and before the buttons, I want to be before and vertically aligned. Also to use CSS to style the color and font.

Thanks

Hi there,

Is there any possible way to add WhatsApp share button?

Thanks

Is Social Media Feather 2.0.1 compatible with WordPress 5.6.2?

Your “detailed info” pop-up indicates Social Media Feather is compatible up to WordPress version 5.4.4 When will it be compatible with WP 5.6?

Thanks in advance.

Hi!
I noticed that a lot of the default links (for example the Facebook sharing link) are still http and not https. The links on those sharing platforms are all https for a long time.

Please correct this.

Your “detailed info” pop-up indicates Social Media Feather is compatible up to WordPress version 5.2.5. When will it be compatible with WP 5.4?

I have this message in my log: Trying to access array offset on value of type null

social-media-feather/synved-social/synved-social-setup.php line 589

Can you resolve this message?

How can I turn off that ad for Elegant Themes that appears in the bottom right of the dashboard???????

I do not agree with this being in the client’s dashboard.

Thank you.

I would like to switch to this plugin (because I like it so much better than what I’m currently using), yet I have a lot of social proof in my current plugin.

Is it possible to recover previous share numbers with this plugin?

Thank you,
Lisa
