A screenshot would be extremely useful. I haven’t come across this problem before. * It might be something simple in my code that I need to tweak. * Thanks * Mike * [ladycrow](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ladycrow/) * (@ladycrow) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-sidebar-share-widget-having-diff-w-install/#post-1259814) * I’ve actually run across that problem with a different plugin so I decided to install yours just to see. When I try to press Activate, this comes up * > The plugin does not have a valid header. * Nothing more or less. * I googled it and came up with this, just FYI: [http://showfom.cn/how-to-solve-the-plugin-does-not-have-a-valid-header-for-wordpress-2-8/](http://showfom.cn/how-to-solve-the-plugin-does-not-have-a-valid-header-for-wordpress-2-8/) * [mike_jenkins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike_jenkins/) * (@mike_jenkins) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-sidebar-share-widget-having-diff-w-install/#post-1259815) * I have just updated the plug-in, hopefully this should fix the issue. * The update should be available through WordPress in about 15 minutes or so. * [mike_jenkins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike_jenkins/) * (@mike_jenkins) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-sidebar-share-widget-having-diff-w-install/#post-1259817) * Ok, doesn’t work for me now. Will let you know when fixed. * [mike_jenkins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike_jenkins/) * (@mike_jenkins) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-sidebar-share-widget-having-diff-w-install/#post-1259818) * Tested and installed on my version. * Should work fine, I had to change the folder structure (think I had it wrong originally!). * Let me know. * Thanks * [citadel712](https://wordpress.org/support/users/citadel712/) * (@citadel712) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-sidebar-share-widget-having-diff-w-install/#post-1259832) * Hi there. Nice plugin! I do have one small problem with it though. For some reason I get unusual spacing with the widget in the sidebar, almost like it forces everything below it to go down to the bottom of the page, past the last content. * Editing the CSS of the Div that it is in seems to do the trick: * `
` * I think the `clear:both` was forcing the rest of the sidebar to act wonky, so I eliminated the div. I am using the theme by Switchroyale.com, so the situation may vary from blog-to-blog. Just thought I’d point that out in case someone else has trouble. * Also, for those who have their wordpress files in a subfolder, to get the icons to show up you will need to edit the simp-side-share-widg.php file to add `/[ yourwordpressfolder]/` into the line: * `transparent url('wp-content/plugins/simple-sidebar-share-widget/bookmarks.png')` * to make it something like * `transparent url('/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/simple-sidebar-share-widget/bookmarks. png')` (Assuming your wordpress folder is wordpress) * I’m not an expert on this so if there’s a better way to do this, please post here for others to see. 🙂 * [citadel712](https://wordpress.org/support/users/citadel712/) * (@citadel712) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-sidebar-share-widget-having-diff-w-install/#post-1259834) * Also, how would I go about putting this code in my template? * For example, I want this to only show on the Single Post pages. What code do I add to my template? Is there a shortcode? * [mike_jenkins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike_jenkins/) * (@mike_jenkins) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-sidebar-share-widget-having-diff-w-install/#post-1259857) * Hey Citadel, * Should be able to fix all of those issues. Will need to look in to it this afternoon, will post back when its done :). * Cheers * Mike Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘[Plugin: Simple Sidebar Share Widget] having diff w/ install’ is closed to new replies. * 8 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [mike_jenkins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mike_jenkins/) * Last activity: [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-simple-sidebar-share-widget-having-diff-w-install/#post-1259857) * Status: not resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
