    Hello,

    the Google+ Counter is wrong. It shows the number of likes of a Google+ page but not the number of followers. In my case 116 people like my Google+ page, but 75 follow it. So this number of followers should be the correct one, but 116 is shown.

    Could you please fix that? I saw other people who have the same issue with it.

    Regards

    I will look at the API to see how to differentiate it.
    Thanks for the warning.

    I just checked the API.
    Actually it offers only the amount of likes.
    Both those who are not page administrator can only view this data.

    I don´t understand your answer. The count is simply wrong… the likes are not the same as followers. So how can Social Count Plus show the correct amount of followers? In my case 75 instead of 116 people…

    This is my site and I am the site admin.

    Find where I can get this in the API and I fix!

    My friend.
    I found nothing about it in the API.
    That’s the problem.

    That is bad. This plugin just is not fine when calling this number followers. It is simply not true. There can be a page with 1.356 likes but just 50 follower. It is a big difference.

    Sorry.
    But everyone does it.
    An example: http://wpmu.org/

    Only administrators of the page know the amount of followers…
    Those who visit the page knows just how many likes.

    Unfortunately the world does not work like you want… And neither Google Plus API.

    Google+ is rolling out custom urls for private and company profiles of Google+. Does this plugin support this, too? So there will be number anymore in the future, but a name like google.com/+name – so instead of typing in the numbers I might type in the name in the plugin? Right? Will it work?

    My friend.
    This plugin supports the API supports.
    That is the case with the ID.

    Do not like it?
    You can contribute in:

    So you help me to set the plugin to your liking.

    It was a serious question because Google rolls out very much new personal URLs. That is why I am asking you if we still have to use the “ID” or in future the “personal URL”. Whatever.

    Plugin Author Claudio Sanches

    (@claudiosanches)

    If the API accept we will use in the future.
    If you do not have the API, we will not use!

    There’s nothing serious in your question, and take my time.

    In writing what this plugin?
    Which is to use the ID.

    If it is to use something else will appear on it.
    Simple as that, no need wasting my time with this.

    I told you, if the plugin is not how you want, you can help me improve it by programming in Github: https://github.com/claudiosmweb/social-count-plus

    Hello,

    read http://wordpress.org/support/topic/exact-count-of-google-followers?replies=2#post-5060783

    As I thought it is possible to show actual followers instead of shares. Could you now update the plugin to make the counts of Google+ correct?

    I am not a programmer. You just told me, it is not possible to show the count of followers at Google+. So I have shown you a counter plugin which can show the amount of followers. Maybe you can find the solution within this plugin and use it for your own plugin.
