Compatibility issues with Social Sharing Toolkit plugin.

Hi,

thanks for your comment. I’ve installed the “Social Sharing Toolkit” plugin in my development environment and was not able to find any incompatibilities. Could you send me a link to your page where I can reproduce the problem?

After reading your reply I made some testing on my live site (where the problem is located). I’m 100% sure the problem is somehow related to the “Social Sharing Toolkit” plugin. Your plugin works just fine when all the other plugins except SST are activated and doesn’t work whenever SST is activated (alone or in combination with other plugins).

I’m using the WP CentriK childtheme on my site so I guess there is some theme+SST plugin combination which is bad for your plugin. My functions.php only contains some CSS stuff so there is nothing that could break your plugin like additional jQuery scripts). Here is the link to my website (all plugins are activated ATM): https://www.soulstudio.info/blog

Hope this was helpful. ??

Hi Soulstudio,

now I see the problem (also in my development environment). The problem that I see is that your page includes jQuery two times. In detail it loads jQuery using the following URLs:

https://soulstudio.info/blog/wp-includes/js/jquery/jquery.js?ver=1.10.2
https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js

The second jQuery seems to be caused by the JavaScript from the Social Sharing Toolkit plugin (URL https://www.linksalpha.com/social/loader_iconbox?link=…).
I would suggest to report the problem to the developers of the Social Sharing Toolkit plugin. IMHO they have to check, if jQuery has already been loaded before including their jQuery resource since this breaks all jQuery plugins that have been initialized on the page before the Sharing Toolkit plugin is included.

Hope this helps.

The funny thing is that I was looking for double jQuery scripts already and somehow I missed the one loaded from Google.

Anyway, thank you for you quick response and finding the problem. I informed (or at least tried to) the author of the SST plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/compatibility-issues-with-wp-ajaxify-comments-plugin

Hey guys, had a similar problem. If you don’t mind disabling the very last link on the social sharing toolkit, “linksalpha” (which in my opinion sucks anyway), you can harmlessly remove it and you won’t load jQuery a second time (as well as a lot of other useless javascript libraries.)

Just go to your plugins directory, /social-sharing-toolkit/includes/buttons/button.linksalpha.php , and change the value of this variable: $retval to an empty string, like this:

$retval = '';
