Thanks for your comment. That’s where it is right now. That’s the problem. Stretch the screen out wide and you’ll see them, but when it shrinks it goes away.

I wasn’t aware I needed to change the urls….

Yes, I did.

Any updates on this? This is the only thing keeping me from using your sharers. The buttons on my site now (noahsdad.com) look just like yours but allow for that comment box to show up.

Why can’t you guys just do what the buttons I’m using do?

Let me know if you find a replacement. Having people be able to enter in text to share the post via facebook share button is a must.

Only when we viewed at its widest setting. On most screens it completely goes away. The search box stays but the icons go away. Try to resize / view on an iPhone. Nothing.

Thanks for the reply. Would you mine telling me how to do that?

Thanks for the replies, I end up switching to another sharer that allowed me to use large share icons and didn’t have the problems with flickering that I was running into with this plug in.

Nevermind, it looks like that worked.

Hmm..that didn’t work. WHen I added it, it caused my site to crash, are you sure that’s the exact code?

Ok, I think I figured it out, Here’s the code I’m using. My main issue now is when I share the post it’s not sharing the link to the page I’m on. Is there something wrong with the code I added? Thanks so much for your help.

Here’s the code:

function wpsocialite_after_post_title() {
if (is_single() ) {
    echo do_shortcode('[wpsocialite size="small" url="https://google.com" button_override="facebook,twitter-share,twitter-follow,pinterest,linkedin,gplus,stumbleupon"]');
   }
};
add_action('genesis_after_post_title', 'wpsocialite_after_post_title');

Syed,

The speed gain between this plug in, and a traditional sharer plug in is milliseconds. Any seo gain you would get by the very small speed increase would be way surpassed by all of the social sharers one may miss by using the plug in (and the sharers not behaving as visitors expect them to behave as they do one every other site….which also greatly help seo and traffic…even more so than the very small speed increase one would gain by using this plug in.)

As you can see we reciieve a high number of social shares on our posts, so it’s critical that there are no barriers to allowing our folks quick and easy access to the share buttons. Here’s an example of the sort of social shares we can receive: https://noahsdad.com/target-down-syndrome/

Syed,

I agree with the other folks, I agree speed is good, but the flickering is different than what people expect and it flickers at the exact moment people are going to be clicking the “like” button. That seems like a bad user experience to be honest. For one it makes it look like something is wrong with the social sharers, and two it could possibly cause mis-clicks. Any way to allow this to be an option, or create a way to use the traditional shares that people are use to fast?

The Facebook share button is no longer used, now it is a like. However this plug in gives you the box that pops up and allows people to enter in text to share on their time line.

Syed,

I put in the code you suggested, and something strange is going on. It looks like it is going below the title, but also appearing behind my Youtube videos. I’m not sure what is happening, it’s strange. If you load up the link below you’ll see two bars appear for a short time…the one below the title does not have the google plus and pintrest sharer, but the one that goes behind the video does. Any thoughts?
