Hello, Thanks for using my plugin. I am happy that it helped you so much.
1. I enabled the “short url” for twitter giving space for article “title”. If you want bit.ly shortening, then enter the bitly details in the “Settings” page.
If you want the full post url, then do the following.
– Open wp-socializer/wp-socializer.php
– In the line 786, replace {s-url} with {url} Thats all.
2. Nice idea Ill add it in the forth coming version.
Hi,
I’ve added the biy.ly details but it isn’t using the bit.ly links. Is this because I am adding the buttons using shortcodes?
thanks
@rlparker81: Bitly will be used by Twitter buttons of the “16px and the 32px” social bookmarking buttons. The retweet buttons don’t use bitly for shortening URLs.
ok. Is there anyway to get the retweet buttons to use the perma-link instead of /blog/?p=11156 ?
Please follow the procedure as instructed in the post-2975279
Hi, if you mean
If you want the full post url, then do the following.
– Open wp-socializer/wp-socializer.php
– In the line 786, replace {s-url} with {url} Thats all.
I tried that but it hasn’t made any difference
Did you checkout the latest version v2.4.5 ??
@ rlparker81,
With version 2.4.5 open wp-socializer/wp-socializer.php and in the line 1571 you need to replace {s-url} with {url} so it looks like this:
'url' => 'http://twitter.com/home?status={de-title}%20-%20{url}%20{twitter-username}',
Then it will show the permalink instead of the page-id..
Vaakash, thank you for the great plugin. I am hoping you consider using this url convention as the default in the future.
When using the social buttons paramaters, setting url in a shortcode or in php doesn’t work with twitter, it only returns the current post’s link in shortcode. In other words, it can’t be overridden with parameters.
Changing s-url to url, it now works perfectly to use something like
[wpsr_socialbts services="facebook,twitter,email" url="http://www.link.com" title="my title" excerpt="my excerpt" type="32px"]
It would be great to not have to change the core plugin code to do this so it will be update friendly. Appreciate the consideration, thanks!
Hello everyone,
The newest version v2.4.6 has this bug fixed. Please update to that version and reply back if the issue persists. Thank you.

Is it possible to add an option to select which URL should be used. I see three valuable choices:
FULL, that is, full url as in permalink: {url}
SHORT, that is, the url based on post ID: {s-url}
TINY, that is, an url based on TinyURL (or similar service): {t-url}
TINY is great for Twitter whereas FULL is better for FaceBook.
