In reply to: [Share and Follow] [Plugin: Share and Follow] Share Icon Setup issuesHey jhess81,
What it looks like the issue is that the CSS is not loading properly. It’s the bit that manages those things.
First what you might like to try is to go into the admin page of share and follow and look for the “CSS and style Configuration” box and change it to be ‘NO’ to the question about “Use and External Stylesheet?”
what this will do is put inline styles into the head section rather than building a CSS file.
If that makes it work then I would suggest that if you want use an external style sheet (faster on sites that do not use caching), then I expect you will need to CHMOD the stylesheet so that it is write-able.
The stylesheet is in
/wp-contnet/plugins/share-and-follow/css/stylesheet.css
Please first try to change the permission to 664 and then if needed 777. There is full instructions in the FAQ and Readme.txt on how to do this using Filezilla as your FTP client.
If this does not fix it, please do let me know.
regards
AndyHey ngeorgiev,
The Like stuff is managed via facebook and not really anything (currently) to do with my code. What facebook does is check for an exact URL and see’s if it has been liked before.
So for example if you have a website with a like button on it and a facebook fanpage with a like button, they will never correlate.
However if you are talking about a share that has gone into a newsfeed and then is liked by another person viewing that newsfeed, it should add the stats together.
I expect that the two URL’s you are trying to compare/like/get stats on are not the same ones, but different.
Use this link (not in Chrome as the XML support is poor)
and replace http://share-and-follow.com with the actual link of the page(s) that you want to find out the stats for.
Hope this helps you to understand your stats from facebook
regards
AndyHey iqbalwp
yep Facebook has a habbit of caching everything for about 24 hours, so the gravatar icon might be on posts that you have already linked to/shared.
glad to hear it’s all working correctly for you.
All the best
AndyHey iqbalwp,
Facebook gets the text it puts into a share from the Description in the head section of the HTML page. So in your case there is no descriptions at all on your site, so facebook will not be able to use it.
To make this work for you correctly install and use a SEO plugin, such as platinum SEO, or all in one SEO plugin.
Now for the image in the posts, please can you confirm if you are sharing from the homepage or from the post/page it’s self? If you are sharing from the homepage/main blog page then I would say you need to setup an image for those pages as it can’t be an image from the post it’s self, as the image would be different for each of the 10 or so posts on the homepage.
Personally I setup a site logo for the pages that are shared from the homepage, where as the pages/posts I use the image from the media library.
Hope this helps, let me know if you want more help
regards

In reply to: [Share and Follow] [Plugin: Share and Follow] Icons in FooterHey Rick
Sorry for not replying sooner, I was moving house. Anyhow, what I expect the problem is that the CSS is not being loaded properly to manage the Follow tab.
Without being able to look a the HTML of your site (please let me know your web address), I can only guess that problem is based on not having wp_head() in your theme’s
header.php. It should be like this just before the end of the HEAD tag<?php wp_head(); ?> </head>this should sort you out. But if not do let me know your web address.

andyfor your site this will do the job
#follow.right ul li {margin:0 3px}

AndyAs I’m trying to monetize the plugin at the moment with the iconsets via the CDN, I’d be interested in what payment method you would most like? I need to get a global eye on finance.
Apart from that I could always setup on of those Amazon wish lists. but I don’t really need stuff at the moment, we (me and neville the icon maker) would rather take this forward.
For example I’ve just had one of my clients pay for a icon set in their own style. example here http://city-zen-clothing.com one of my test site.
I asked them to make them available to everyone, so it’s now on the CDN.As a matter of interest would you consider getting an icon set made up in a style that is perfect for your site?
I’m thinking about adding this as an option to everyone, have a icon set made up and added to the CDN for super fast access and full on branding.
Guys,
I’ve just had to release version 1.52.1 to fix some twitter issues I created. Anyhow, this will overwrite anything you have there.
But the bit you want to to change is the one in the file
admin-page.php
which can be found in the follow directory
/wp-content/plugins/share-and-follow/admin-page.phpOr it can be edited directly inside the plugin editor of wordpress.
The line you want to changes is line 196.
change it from :
≶form method=”post” action=”≶?php echo $_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”]; ?>”>to :
<form method=”post” action=”/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=share-and-follow.php”>All the best
andyDoug,
I’ve fixed it on your site, but I was surprised at what caused the problem.
<?php echo $_SERVER[“REQUEST_URI”]; ?>
that is what the form for that admin page points to. What this is supposed to show is the full URL of the current page, but it was just showing it at the page but without the ?page=share-and-follow.php arguments at the end.
So all I have done on your server only is changed that to be
/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=share-and-follow.php
in the admin page on your server.I am surprised it is not working correctly as this is a bit of information that server has that PHP gives out. It might be worth having a chat with your hosting agent as I would not be surprised if other plugins or applications rely on that server variable.
All the best
andyDoug,
I’ve set myself up with a test situation with the same config as you and cannot find any problems. all very strange.
Is it possible that you could contact me direct with access to your machine so I can take a proper look.
please mail
regards
andyok, I’m in the middle of mirroring your setup (the active plugins first) and will see what happens
regards
AndyDoug,
As you can see from the videos it works fine with the twentyten theme as that’s the one I use there.
I’ve just released version 1.52 and would like you to give that one a crack first. Also I’d like you to try “reset settings” at the bottom of the plugin to put it back to default and see if that helps
Do let me know
regards
andyCould you let me know what theme and plugins you are using so I can setup a test environment?
kind regards

In reply to: Facebook feeding showing ONLY "g" gravatar imageI’ve checked your site and it is an issue based with facebook and maybe their caching. There is no image_src on any of the pages so facebook should offer the users a selection of images from the post.
I think you are stuck with waiting on facebook to resolve this

we don’t do msn. I don’t need admin access only a link to the site at the moment. that way I can see what is going on with the out put code.
