lmao wordpress support sucks.

So I guess the 8 specific replies, including code samples written specifically for one of your help request threads, which constitute FREE help for the FREE software, count as “sucky” support?

I also couldn’t help but notice that despite your claim that you are very good at coding websites and “know php, css, and all that stuff,” you’ve never attempted to help others in this forum.

You’re welcome to pay for immediate support:

Try using the full filepath of the images and see if they show up.

Ok, I’ve figured it out, and in doing so found the best solution. Open sociable.css and find this code:

.sociable ul li {
	background: none;
	display: inline !important;
	list-style-type: none;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 1px;
}

Change this line: margin: 0;

To this: margin: 0 !important;

This should fix your problem. Let me know if it doesn’t work.

Try instead (or maybe also?) adding:

#main_content_left_secondary #sociable li { background-image: none !important; }

An aside:

Just glancing at the code, it appears to me that Sociable’s stylesheet *should* take precedence. Yoast uses the !important tag to attempt to do this, but for some reason that doesn’t work in this case.

Your theme’s primary stylesheet is overriding sociable’s stylesheet. Open up style.css in your theme folder and find this code, which is the culprit:

#content p,
	#content .post ul li {
		font: normal 13px/20px Verdana, Helvetica, Sans-serif;
		margin-bottom: 10px;
		margin-top: 10px;
	color: #eaeaea;
	margin-right: 140px;
	text-align: justify;
}

This piece of code affects how unordered lists are displayed, and Sociable uses an unordered list to display the social media icons. Notice how it says margin-right: 140px. This is automatically adding a 140 pixel right margin to each list item (icon) in your post content.

Simply commenting out that line of code fixed the icon spacing problem, but I’m not sure if it would affect other parts of your site. You can give it a try (back up style.css if you’re worried) and see if it adversely affects any other parts of your site.

Is your javascript file actually in your server root as the filepath you gave suggests?

Your post is cut off so I don’t know your javascript file location. You’ve got additional errors in the script tag you listed, including a failure to close your src= double quotation mark, a doubling of your end quotation marks, and an incorrect type= designation.

Rule of thumb: If you’re requesting help with the layout of your specific site, post a link to it, especially if it involves CSS. A number of available tools allow us to play with your site’s CSS in real-time and help you with a solution.

Did you add the path to the javascript file in the head?

<script type="text/javascript" src="'.get_option(siteurl).'/wp-content/plugins/author_exposed/javascript/skripta.js"></script>

Is it possible to show a different content in a post when it’s on mobile or not?

After a forum request, I wrote Mobile Comments Signature plugin as a project. It recognizes a comment’s user agent as mobile or not and appends user-defined text if it’s a comment made from a mobile.

You could take a look at it for inspiration if you wanted. It’s pretty well commented and it’s got a mobile user-agent detection script in it (which I found on the web, credit given within the plugin).

Although I’ve found (I think) that checking the user agent of a post is not as easy as checking the user agent for a comment. WordPress stores a comment’s user agent in the database to be accessed at any time, but doesn’t seem to do the same for posts.

You can try this plugin. It worked in 2.7.1 but I haven’t tried it with 2.8. It prevents internal pingbacks.

Using your FTP program or server file manager, navigate to plugins/sociable/sociable.css.

Back up this file before making any changes.

The final two sections in this file are .sociable-hovers and .sociable-hover:hover.

You should be able to remove these sections completely, and this will remove the transparency affects/hover affects.

Although what I do is reverse the hover affects. I want no transparency when not hovering, and a bit of transparency as a visual cue when hovering. So my sections look like this:

.sociable-hovers {
	opacity: 1;
	-moz-opacity: 1;
	filter: alpha(opacity=100);
}
.sociable-hovers:hover {
	opacity: .7;
	-moz-opacity: .7;
	filter: alpha(opacity=70);
}

Well, here’s a post (look at the bottom) indicating that 2.8 may use “much more memory” than 2.7. Don’t know how much truth there is to that contention, but the author of the post is a respected plugin developer.

He may not even be speaking of CPU usage, but I thought I’d post it in case it’s an indication that 2.8 could use more CPU.

For those that come across this thread and are looking for this functionality, I developed a small plugin to append user-defined text to comments made from a mobile phone.

The plugin is called Mobile Comments Signature, and can also be downloaded at the Mobile Comments Signature plugin page on my website.
