This is something we can roll into the next release.

Mark,

Thanks for using WPSocialite.

It looks like the CSS we set up is setting Twitters widget width to 200px. Your username is longer than that, so you’re seeing it cut off. You need to override our included CSS and extend the widgets length.

Try inserting this into your CSS (not changing the plugin):

.entry-content .wpsocialite.small .twitter-follow.socialite-loaded {
    width:260px;
}

Let me know if this helps.

WPSocialite has to load extensions like Pinterest outside of the normal wpsocialite.js (look for extension.pinterest.js).

I suspect that is the issue. Let me know if that helps!

Thanks Esmi.

I can’t directly give you the “secret” to centering the buttons because I don’t know what sort of CSS you have set up on your site.

WPSocialite is wrapped in a UL element. Set its width and then assign it margin: 0 auto and it will center. As an example:

.wpsocialite{
width:80%;
margin:0 auto;
}

Let me know if this works.

Will be added in the next release. Thank you!

Absolutely working on a number of social networks, including reddit. Stay tuned and thanks for using WPSocialite!

Thanks for using WPSocialite!

Unfortunately the error that you are seeing should not break the Facebook like button. I visited your site and was able to see the like button working and use it (Screenshot: https://screencast.com/t/rQIlOgd9)

Let me know if it is currently working for you.

This probably has to do with you compiling JS in the W3TC features. I’m working on a solution, but in the meantime turn off JS minify and it should work without a major speed problem.

Let me know if this works.

Thanks for contributing, this is a feature I’m currently working on. Stay tuned!

Phil,

Appreciate you pointing this out. Your second post with the fix, however, is not the best solution.

You’ve made me realize that the twitter via will not work unless twitter follow is checked.

In the wp-admin, check “twitter follow” and enter your twitter handle and save. Then you should be able to uncheck “twitter follow” and the via property will still work.

I’m going to push a quick fix for this now so that the twitter username area is always displayed, but use the above method to fix it immediately. Also remember, its never a good idea to edit any of the WP Core or plugin files. When you update them all of your custom changes will then be overwritten.

Kevin,

Just pushed an update. Look for version 2.4 that has this fixed.

You can specify which link is shared if you are using the template tag.

Try this:

<?php
$args = array(
    'url' => wp_get_shortlink($id)
);
wpsocialite_markup( $args );

I haven’t tested the above but it should work.

Let me know if that helps.

Gene,

You will want to do something like this:

<?php

if(is_category('your_category')){
// This will display if you are on the category page
wpsocialite_markup( );
}

if(in_category('your_category')){
// This will display if the post is inside of your requested category
wpsocialite_markup( );
}

Hope this helps!

Hamish,

So you need to be able to share the post thumbnail size, or medium size rather than the large size images? Currently we have no way of overriding the featured image, but I will look into that for a future release.

Rick,

Appreciate your patience waiting for me to reply. The issue with your code is the “url” parameter. It is currently set to the override mode, meaning you’re linking all sharing buttons to google.com. Remove the URL parameter all together and it should work.

Reply to your first post:

1. Genesis seems to have issue with Wpsocialite and how it filters the content. WPSocialite filters the content adding the sharing buttons at the bottom. I haven’t been able to fix this just yet.

2. They should be appearing as they do in the screenshots on the Plugin page. If they do not, then your sites CSS is messing with the layout. Your best bet is to switch themes and see if they line up correctly, that way you can diagnose what is causing the issue.

3. I believe my facebook like button is current, but by all means let me know if it is not!
