Can you explain what you mean by a “sharebar”?

A widget might be a good idea, only issue would be ensuring that the user fills in the URL fields as widgets are outside the loop.

Unfortunately I can’t seem to find the error on why the VK or Stumbleupon buttons are loading twice. Wanted to give you a quick update that I’m still hard at work, but an update today doesn’t seem likely.

Also please don’t hesitate to take a look at the code yourself and see if you can find it. The more minds on the problem, the better! The code is hosted on Github here: https://github.com/tmort/wpsocialite

Chris,

If you would like to remove the padding you can use something similar to the following:

.wpsocialite.large > li {
padding:0;
}

If you are using the “small” layout, be sure to replace the above “large” class with “small”.

After reading your other forum post (regarding the homepage issue) I think they are linked. The Genesis Simple Hooks method is not providing a WP Loop that WPSocialite can pull data out of so you have to specify the URL you want it to use.

On the buddypress page you linked, do you want it to share the profile or the entire site like your other forum post (the homepage)? You may need to implement something inside of your themes sidebar.php rather than keep running it through Genesis.

Appreciate your feedback. The via parameter is not hard to set at all and I’ve already incorporated the change into the next release. When WPSocialite tells you to update it should be there!

Thanks again,

-Tom

Are you looking to show the social links of your overall site in the sidebar rather than post specific?

WPSocialite relies on the WP loop to populate its data. In order to make it work outside the loop, you have to set the URL parameters.

In order to accomplish what you need, use the following (template tag or shortcode, depending on how you set it up):

$args = array(
    'size' => 'small', //choose which size buttons to display.
    'url' => 'https://wowlazymacros.com', //use this to override the url that is sent to WPSocialite. Not recommended to use in loop.
    'button_override' => 'facebook,twitter-share,twitter-follow,pinterest,linkedin,gplus,stumbleupon' //used to override buttons that are displayed. Add and remove as needed.
);
wpsocialite_markup( $args ); ?>

[wpsocialite size="small" url="https://wowlazymacros.com" button_override="facebook,twitter-share,twitter-follow,pinterest,linkedin,gplus,stumbleupon"]

Let me know if this helps.

Try the template tag and replace the URL parameter and see if that works.

It might also be a conflict with Buddypress, I’ll install a local copy and check. Let me know what you find.

I’m going to mark this resolved but if you are still having an issue don’t hesitate to open the thread again.

Sam, did you ever get this resolved? I’m going to mark it as such but don’t hesitate to reopen the thread if you are still having an issue.

Delta,

Extremely sorry for the late reply, unsure how I missed this thread.

I think what you need to do is disable WPSocialite in the admin by going to Settings > Discussion and at the bottom under “WPSocialite” set the display settings to “Manual”. This will disable the plugin from automatically appending the boxes to your content.

Once that is done, you can go into your template and use the code below (modified from what you had):

<?php $exclude_slugs = array('about-us','contact-us');
if( !in_array($post->post_name, $exclude_slugs) ){ wpsocialite_markup(); } ?>

Let me know if this works and again appreciate your patience on the long wait time for a reply!

I’ve actually given this some thought and I may wrap this functionality into a completely different plugin at some point. Unfortunately it won’t be under WPSocialite.

Appreciate your feedback as always.

Apologies on the late reply on this one!

I just checked your site and it seems the buttons are loading on hover now. Are you still having an issue?

I’m going to close this topic for now, but be sure to open it if you are still having an issue.

Glad you like the plugin, thanks for using WPSocialite!

The best way I can see you implementing the CSS change is to overwrite the WPSocialite styles in your themes CSS file, then turn off WPSocialites style sheet all together using this in your wp-config.php:

define( 'WPSOCIALITE_LOADSTYLES', false);

I logged onto your site and I believe you are using another plugin at the moment. I’m going to mark this resolved but if you want to follow up and reopen the thread don’t hesitate to reply here!

Thanks again for using WPSocialite.

Checking in on this, were you able to find that WPSocialite was the issue? I’m going to mark this resolved for now, but if you’re still having trouble don’t hesitate to reply back and open the thread back up.

Thanks for touching base, been in crunch mode for a few weeks now. I’m spending today updating the plugin and answering all questions.

Greatly appreciate the help in testing. Stumbleupon and the VK like button both seem to be only loading one instance. I’m going to sign up for a VK account and start testing there.

I’ll hopefully get an update for VK pushed out tomorrow. If it looks like I’ll miss my mark I’ll update you here.
