WordPress.org

I'm upgrading from a version prior to 3.2. What do I need to do?

If you don't use your own bookmark icons, nothing. Otherwise, the default folder location has changed - this is so that upgrading a theme doesn't cause them to go missing. Simply move your icon folder to your installations wp-content folder for it to continue to work.

The Social Bookmarking site is not appearing

If you've not specified default=on then new sites will not appear - you will need to specifically switch it on.

Here's an example of switching on LinkaGoGo...

<?php echo social_bookmarks( 'linkagogo=on', 'padding-left: 5px; padding-right: 5px' ); ?>

Where can I find some alternative icons?

The icons provided with the plugin are the standard icons for each of the sites (usually the site's favicon). There are many good, free collections available. However, none have the full set that this plugin uses, which is why I use this generic group.

None-the-less, most people will probably only want to display a few, popular, sites and therefore various icon collections will be ideal.

My favourites include Vector Social Media Icons by IconDock and Social Network Icon Pack by Komodo Media.

You haven't included my favourite Social Bookmarking service

I keep a huge database of over 500 bookmarking services. However, I only use those that appear to be the most popular, based on Google search results. If you think I have missed one of great importance, please get in contact with me and plead your case!

Now that this plugin doesn't have its own URL shortening, how can I do this?

Artiss URL Shortener"). Simply call one of these first and get the shortened URL - you can then pass this as the second parameter into Artiss Social Bookmarks.

Here is an example of how to get a is.gd short URL with Artiss URL Shortener...

if (function_exists( 'url_shortener') ) { $shorturl = url_shortener( '', 'service=is.gd' ); }

Which version of PHP does this plugin work with?

It has been tested and been found valid from PHP 4 upwards.
