    Hi dude,

    Hey, I loved the new specs of this plugin in the last update, it blasts! is just great, but I think that something is wrong when it counts the URL share over Facebook, when I shared a link on my Facebook account it appears just like “1” share, thats ok, but, when somebody commented over my post on Facebook this plugin also counted it as a share… I mean, my post on Facebook had 12 comments, so, for the plugin this have been shared… ¿13 times? I have tested it, and it’s true, every comment is counted as a share… I think this is wrong.

    Thanks for your help!

    there are actually social signals counter for facebook. Meaning it will count all facebook, shares likes and comments about that particular link. If this bothers you i can tell you witch file to edit to only show facebook shares. Cheers

    Hi tons of sorry for the late reply but we were very busy these days. If you need to change counter for inline buttons with counter these are the instructions:

    Open file !Share.php in plugin’s folder;
    Find line 203 ($counters[‘facebookcounter’] = ‘<span class=”sh-counter”>’.format_num($SocialStats->get_facebook_total()).'</span>’;)
    Replace $SocialStats->get_facebook_total() with $SocialStats->get_facebook_share()

    If you need to change the floating bars, right now that’s not possible since the bars are loaded from our servers. We might change our strategy and instead of showing total social signals, show just shares count on the floating bars.

    Again sorry for the delay.
