‘The Social Links’ Plugin Fails…

    Hi,
    I have been testing your plugin on a live site and found that the following other plugin breaks when I use it: https://leapsandbounds.io/the-social-links/
    Specifically, the fontawesome characters that are used for the social buttons do not appear in firefox or chrome. I’m not 100% sure what’s causing this, but I can see that the CSS is not correctly setup for some reason, for the buttons.

    I attempted to write a filter to make sure that none of the scripts from the ‘social links’ plugin were loaded into the footer by your plugin, but I was not successful. It would be great if you would let me know how to get these two plugins to work together. thanks!

    Hey there, sorry to hear your having issues!

    Have you tried toggling on the “keep jQuery in the head” option in Settings > Scripts to Footer? The only script being loaded for this plugin is a jquery dependent one, which might be effecting the output of the links/icons. (see here)

    You could also use a filter for the script, which will also put jQuery in the header along with the sortable script:

    add_filter( 'stf_exclude_scripts', 'jdn_header_scripts', 10, 1 );
function jdn_header_scripts( $scripts ) {
    $scripts[] = 'jquery-ui-sortable';
    return $scripts;
}

    If that doesn’t work, it’s likely another conflict I can’t see yet. Scripts to Footer doesn’t move stylesheets. The Social Links plugin appears to have the font-awesome styles loaded correctly, which leads me to think it’s related to the script.

    Let me know if that doesn’t work!

    Thanks,
    Joshua

    thanks for replying. i did have the jquery in header option active as the site broke without it. i’m pretty sure I also tried a filter for that sortable module too. i had to remove the social links plugin anyway as i couldn’t find a solution here – i switched it for a similar plugin that works with your one fine.
