WordPress.org

After upgrading to version 2.0, the button no longer appears on my site. How can I fix this?

The most common reason for this problem lies with your theme's footer.php file. If wp_footer() does not appear somewhere in footer.php, my plugin cannot add the scripts needed to render the Share button. If your theme is missing wp_footer(), add the following code just before the </body> tag: <?php wp_footer(); ?>.

How Do I Manually Add Share Buttons?

After activating the plugin, go to Settings > Simple FB Share Button and select "Plugin Help" at the top of the screen.

Why Does My Blog's Tagline Appear Instead of a Summary of My Content?

The Facebook Sharer uses the <meta name="description" content="description"> tag to gather information about the content you are sharing. Some templates set the description tag to be your tagline. If you are using a plugin that creates a meta description tag from your content, such as HeadSpace or All In One SEO, you should edit your template's header.php file to remove the <meta name="description" content="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>"> tag.

What are the Theme Compatibility Modes?

In certain themes, the button may overlap other theme elements, such as comment buttons or other plugins. The plugin includes three compatibility modes to help resolve these problems with minimal effort user effort. Know that in some cases, these modes will not resolve button placement problems. In that case, a custom CSS style may be needed.

Mode 1 disables the CSS float property (a setting that allows the button to, as the name implies, float adjacent to your blog's content) and relies on the alignment of the button wrapper to place the button.

Mode 2 prevents other elements from floating adjacent to the button (using the CSS clear property).

Mode 3 combines the functions of Modes 1 and 2.
