Great plugin with a couple caveats

  • This plugin works flawlessly, and does exactly what it claims to, when used via shortcodes directly in your theme.

    I could not get it to work using CMS (wp-admin) only methods though. For example, checking the “Auto display to Posts” option does nothing for me.

    So while I can see why others might have issues with this plugin, the sharing functionality all works great when called manually via shortcode.

    If you could provide some details on this “called manually via shortcode”, the info will be very helpful to many users of this plugin.

    Thanks !

    Sure! When I say “call manually via shortcode” I mean by using the shortcode outlines on the plugin details page.

    I don’t want to post code in this comment, because it could become outdated and cause more issues than help for people down the road, but there is a header that says “Plugin Shortcode” on the Plugin Description that has the shortcode you need.

    You can put this shortcode into a page/post/widget via WP-Admin, or you could use the shortcode in your template files (php) by using the “do_shortcode()” function provided by WordPress core.

    Hello bstaruk,

    Thank you for this. I will update it after I get it done.

    Thank you very much !
