Title: Google Plus and Facebook Bug Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Google Plus and Facebook Bug * Resolved [Dan14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dan14/) * (@dan14) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-plus-and-facebook-bug/) * My theme is TwentyFourteen. I must say it looks great on the Galaxy S3 (Android JellyBean). I found a bug with Google Plus and Facebook. When clicking on them, rather than providing an option to use the Google Plus or Facebook apps that I have on the phone it directs to the login page (Facebook mobile login and Gmail login). It works great with Twitter, just these 2 apps. I tried with Internet Explorer and Chrome and saw the same bug. * Another thing I noticed is with using Internet Explorer (same phone). When I chose Twitter, a new small window is opened (blank window with an X on the top right hand corner to close) and then I see the option to use the Twitter app. It only happens on Internet Explorer. Other than that it is a great plugin. The most crucial one is Google Plus and Facebook I said at the beginning. * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/mobile-sharebar/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mobile-sharebar/) Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total) * Thread Starter [Dan14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dan14/) * (@dan14) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-plus-and-facebook-bug/#post-5547330) * The Whatssup button works great by the way!!

The WhatsApp share function opens WhatsApp itself because WhatsApp provides an URL handler (whatsapp:// instead of [http://](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-plus-and-facebook-bug/?output_format=md)). Facebook and Google+ also provide URL handler, but just for native apps and not for mobile websites – as far as we know. * Thread Starter [Dan14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dan14/) * (@dan14) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-plus-and-facebook-bug/#post-5547516) * Clicking on Twitter gets it straight to the app. Google+ and Facebook takes me the login page even though I have the apps already. There are plugins on mobile site that fixed this and when clicking on Google+ or Facebook takes it straight to the app rather than opening a new window requesting to login. * [Mandaar D](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mandaard/) * (@mandaard) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-plus-and-facebook-bug/#post-5547521) * [@dan14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dan14/), Yes. I Do agree with Dan14. I’m facing the same issue. WhatsApp & Twitter works really great. because of this issue, I had to disable facebook share button on my mobile website. * Plugin Author [somutech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/somutech/) * (@somutech) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-plus-and-facebook-bug/#post-5547525) * Then it seems that the twitter share page is redirecting you to its app automatically. That’s nothing from our side. * There is nothing we can do about it. As we said, Facebook and Google+ just provide URL Handlers for native apps. * Thread Starter [Dan14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dan14/) * (@dan14) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-plus-and-facebook-bug/#post-5547527) * If I will show you a plugin that manages to get around it, at least in Google + will it help? * Plugin Author [somutech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/somutech/) * (@somutech) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-plus-and-facebook-bug/#post-5547540) * yes 🙂 * Thread Starter [Dan14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dan14/) * (@dan14) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-plus-and-facebook-bug/#post-5547546) * I think its this plugin. I have disabled but I am almost sure it is this one: * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/juiz-social-post-sharer](https://wordpress.org/plugins/juiz-social-post-sharer) * Let me know if works, I am almost sure it does. * Plugin Author [somutech](https://wordpress.org/support/users/somutech/) * (@somutech) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-plus-and-facebook-bug/#post-5547560) * Nope, this plugin does the same thing we do. It redirects to the website. * Thread Starter [Dan14](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dan14/) * (@dan14) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-plus-and-facebook-bug/#post-5547562) * I am going to check which plugin worked because I am sure I had one.

It used to work in Google+, something must have changed.
