Hi,
thank you for suggestion! Today I found, that my blog homepage is really slow because of a lot of sharing icons on HP. So in version 0.3.2 I restricted sharing icons only in pages, where is single post.
I’ll think about settings according to your suggestion.
Thanks!
Thanks fabiancz – I think the beauty of the plugin is that it is lightweight compared to some of the alternatives, so I can see you may not want to any features that could bloat it.
One issue I’ve discovered on my test site is that after unchecking the options for the twitter, facebook & google+ widgets in the admin panel, the google+ widget still appeared on my test site above the 16×16 icons. I have fixed this on my installation by changing the option name in the code from plusonewidget to googlepluswidget.
Thank you for bug report. I repaired it in version 0.3.3.
cheers fabiancz.
One more thing I’ve noticed (sorry) – is that the css & js appears in the head of all pages of the site including ones that we are not displaying the buttons on – would it be tidier to restrict adding the css & js to just the same pages we want the buttons to appear on?
I guess the quick way to do this would be to change
add_action('wp_head', 'simple_social_css');
to
if (!is_feed() && !is_page() && is_single()){
add_action('wp_head', 'simple_social_css');
}
Yes, it’s important! You’r really good tester!:)
I’m quite new to WordPress development. I have only few pages on it. So if you’r interested in this plugin, I can add you to commiters and you can catch this bugs:)
Thanks for the offer fabiancz, but I’m probably better at breaking things than fixing them, but I’ll let you know if I do find anything else.
I fixed bug with CSS in new version 0.3.4
Hi Fabian,
Great plug-in so far. I have a question. How do I add spaces between icons and line breaks within your plug-in? I’d like for a space in between each social button. And I’d like to see if it’s possible to move the google+ onto the same line as the social buttons.
Thanks,
Hi gerardb63,
you can use CSS class simplesocial, which has div with G+ button and same class, which has every social button.
Thanks. I was able to edit some padding to get it almost where I want.
How would I add extra line breaks at the end? Right now the widget is hugged really close to my post tags line.

Hi,
sorry for late replay.
I uploaded new version 0.3.5, where I repaired cleaner div. Also I added class “simplesocial-clear”, which you can yous for bigger space under plugin.
Can I pick which buttons I want to appear and leave some off?
rebeccacotu: Yes. After you install this plugin, go to your WP-admin > Settings > Simple social icons.
Yes, I see; it’s an easier interface to use. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have as many to choose from (including some that I wanted)…
