Unable to move the button location

    Hi Robin and thanks for this super lightweight plugin. I want to move where the buttons are output and copied and pasted the code below into my Genesis theme (Digital Pro) functions.php file but the icons don’t display.

    add_filter( ‘scriptlesssocialsharing_locations’, ‘prefix_change_sss_locations’ );
    function prefix_change_sss_locations( $locations ) {
    $locations[‘before’] = array(
    ‘hook’ => ‘genesis_before_entry’,
    ‘filter’ => false,
    ‘priority’ => 8,
    );
    $locations[‘after’] = array(
    ‘hook’ => ‘loop_end’,
    ‘filter’ => false,
    ‘priority’ => 8,
    );

    return $locations;
    }

    The “Use Genesis Framework hooks for button locations” is checked, Manual Placement for Posts and Pages is checked and Before and After Content unchecked. I have tried the code at top and bottom of functions.php and changed priority’s (in the code) from low to high values. I have also tried all this using the non Genesis WordPress 2017 theme but no joy. The buttons show if I check ‘Use Before and After content’, the default locations.

    I tried using this old code snippet you gave to someone a few years ago and it works in my functions.php file: –

    add_action( ‘genesis_before_footer’, ‘prefix_scriptlesssocialsharing_buttons_entry_content’, 5 );
    function prefix_scriptlesssocialsharing_buttons_entry_content() {
    echo wp_kses_post( scriptlesssocialsharing_do_buttons() );
    }

    Any suggestions? Do I need to use additional code or something?

    Thanks

    Paul

    Your code is fine. However, what the locations filter is defining is the filter or action hook used with the plugin Before/After Content settings. So you need to uncheck the Manual Placement boxes, and check the Before/After Content boxes instead. The plugin will use your newly defined hooks for outputting the buttons, instead of its defaults.

    Manual Placement is for if you are using a function in a template or some code and need to make sure the styles load. So you don’t need the extra function; the locations filter will handle it, as long as you have a location selected.

    That worked! I understand now Robin. It’s a filter and a filter modifies the output and I had disabled the output. Thanks for you speedy and clear response.
