It works fine for me on 3.9.1

I would suggest the standard – deactivate all of the other plugins and test it then.

It has something to do with page templates. When I select the full-width page template from my theme, the events URL slug (events) works fine, but the single event URL slug (event) returns the theme header & footer but a blank single event canvas.

Worked like a charm, used the functions.php method over a plugin. Thanks a lot!

Thanks a ton! I’ll try it out now.

I just deleted them using terminal, then reinstalled from the plugin installer. They appear to be working fine now.

I also haven’t looked, but I would be willing to bet that their other plugins (https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/network-publisher/) use a similar subterfuge to steal sharing data.

Frizzy-

That is correct. The entire purpose of the Facebook application creation is to allow tracking and interaction between the site (or content) owner and Facebook.

A Facebook application is not explicitly required for the share functionality. And having one hard-coded in the plugin completely bypasses the content owner. It allows the plugin owner (LinkAlpha) to track who is sharing the site’s content, what is being shared, when, basically everything available at https://facebook.com/insights to site/content owners. How their content is performing is being consolidated and tracked by LinksAlpha.

Further, LinksAlpha looks to be attempting to profit from siloing site owner’s data. Their website sells a subscription-based social media management tool. I haven’t signed up for a free trial since a far superior tool is https://sproutsocial.com, but I’m willing to bet that the plugin’s data for your site is only available with a paid subscription to their service.

LinksAlpha… If I’m wrong, answer one of the 10 threads on here questioning your credibility.

If the underlying code is still good and users like the plugin, perhaps a fork is in order to restore the proper functionality.

I went with Simple Share Buttons Adder. It works perfectly and gives you several options for design, placement, and sizing.

It has a great rating because it used to be maintained by an individual. He sold it to a company called LinksAlpha who have ruined it, adding advertising and hard-coding their Facebook app into it, stealing all of the Facebook Insights data.

Jan & Whiletrue –

It is difficult to locate specifically in the code (for those who’re just knowledgable enough to make small changes) where the developer has hard-coded their Facebook app id. Opening the page source clearly shows it, but I haven’t been able to find it in the actual plugin code.

Basically what they’re doing is intercepting all of a site’s Facebook data when someone shares from a site using the plugin.

I use Simple Share Button Adder – it works perfectly, allows you to select from multiple button designs, sizes, and locations.

Probably not. I’m not sure how the WordPress image editor works, but i would imagine it is saving the file to the WordPress installation and not the S3 location. The plugin will still tell WP to look for the image at the S3 url, not the installation location.

If WP saves edits to the image directly back to the file, that won’t work either. S3 doesn’t support overwriting existing images, they are usually prepended with a -01, -02, etc.

Right-click the broken image and check the url being used as the source. That will give you a hint as to what the issue may be.

I uploaded an image, attempted to resize it, and WP says everything worked, but when I go to the image, it is the same size as it was before. Your install can’t make changes to the file uploaded to S3.
