We have an option for displaying the sharing buttons at the top/bottom or both inside of the WPSocialite settings page (WP-admin > Settings > Discussion, Scroll to WPSocialite).

I believe what you are asking is to separate this function out to two settings items, one for content and one for excerpt? If that is the case it is something I can add in the next release.

It always helps if you can provide a link to the site in question so I can look at the markup.

I think what you need is the override system. In your code where you’ve called WPSocialite, use the following and override WPSocialites URL with a custom one. In this case, you would put in the URL of the image that is called.

<?php
$args = array(
    'url' => 'url_to_your_image', //use this to override the url that is sent to WPSocialite. Not recommended to use in loop.
);
wpsocialite_markup( $args ); ?>

Thank you for the update Pompos! Glad to know someone is answering questions while I’ve been buried under a pile of work.

HandMadecharlotte, did this work for you? Was this resolved?

Steven,

Glad to hear it worked!

Rick,

I’m seeing both the CSS and JS files loading for the site, just not the buttons.

WPSocialite works by filtering the_content through and adding the social sharing buttons to the page. If your theme is custom it may not be working properly. I can’t see your theme stripping this out, but it looks like that might be the case as its not displaying.

Can you try switching the theme out and see if the buttons appear?

Kevin,

Thank you for bringing that to my attention. The issue was with the wpsocialite_localize_script function. It was loading a call to localize Socialite even though we were trying to disable it from loading.

I wrapped the output of this function in an if/else statement that will check if the scripts are disabled. A release is hopefully coming this week, but if you need this solved now open wpsocialite.php in the wpsocialite plugin folder and find line 120:

echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">Socialite.setup({facebook:{lang:'$fb_locale',appId:null},twitter:{lang:'$tw_locale'},googleplus:{lang:'$gp_locale'},vkontakte:{apiId:'".get_option('wpsocialite_vkontakte_apiId')."'}});</script>";

Replace it with the following:

if( WPSOCIALITE_LOADSCRIPTS && !is_admin() ) {
                echo "<script type=\"text/javascript\">Socialite.setup({facebook:{lang:'$fb_locale',appId:null},twitter:{lang:'$tw_locale'},googleplus:{lang:'$gp_locale'},vkontakte:{apiId:'".get_option('wpsocialite_vkontakte_apiId')."'}});</script>";
            }

Let me know if this works for you and thanks for using WPSocialite!

Kevin/TelWP,

Thanks to both of you. I will be sure to include the CSS fix for the Facebook like box in the next release.

Kevin,

To answer your “via” question, I’m hopefully going to be pushing a release next week, but with my work schedule being overloaded I don’t want to make a promise that I cannot keep!

Pompos,

Look in your WP Settings page under the domain. Do you have it set to show the www? WPSocialite automatically pulls the URL into the social sharing buttons, so I can’t see why it would add them out of the blue.

I would check your multisite URL settings and then your htaccess just to make sure you aren’t redirecting any non “www” visitors to the “www” version of your site.

Steven,

If you take a look at the Chrome Console (or firebug) it’ll show you that there is a syntax error in the Socialite.js library. Upon looking at your source code I can see that there is something going on with the way the socialite library is called. If you look at the following script call you can see parameters are being added to the end of the .js file. If you remove those the issue should be fixed.

<script src='https://www.datingguru.nl/wp-content/plugins/wpsocialite/Socialite/socialite.min.js,qver=2.0.pagespeed.jm.mHT4T-z5Wy.js'></script>

Got the email, appreciate your help! I’ll get to testing and update you when I’ve got something working.

Chris,

Appreciate your review. Another forum support request asked for the twitter VIA functionality and its scheduled for WPSocialites next release.

Again, thanks for using WPSocialite.

Jeremy,

Currently the small buttons are set to a percentage value width, so you can override them in your CSS when the site is on a smaller screen.

For example:

/* This will remove the inline style, so they will all stack */
.wpsocialite.small > li {
margin: 0;
display: block;
float: none;
width: 30%;
}

/* This will increase the width between them */

.wpsocialite.small > li {
margin: 0;
display: block;
float: none;
width: 40%;
}

Let me know if this helps.

Glad you like the plugin! I’m seeing facebook show an image. Please check this screenshot and let me know if I’m missing something.

Thanks for using WPSocialite.

That would be great if you could register a VK application for me.

You can use the domain name twmorton.com if they need one. You can also visit that site and head to the contact page to email me the VK information.

Appreciate your help!

Chris,

Your criminal activity is allowed for now, but any updates and you’ll see the folly of your work!

Looks great. Here’s another suggestion. Because I’m only targeting the .wpsocialite class, you should be able to add a class to it (for example, your .entry-content container class) and target it in your CSS without having to edit the wpsocialite.css file.

Try the following and see if it works:

.entry-content .wpsocialite.small > li {
margin: -6px 0 0 0;
width: 16%;
}

I do think that CSS options may be in the cards for the admin, but I try to keep the plugins I build as simple as possible, possibly relying on a “developer” oriented mindset to much. I’ll see what comes to mind in the next release.

Anyway, let me know if the above helps and hopefully you won’t have to worry about updates!
