Hi,
The Shared Counts plugin doesn’t actually count the social shares for you (ie: it’s not responsible for the “share” number) – it connects to third party services which gather the data and saves that data to the WordPress database.
Are you using the “Native” source (where it reaches out directly to Facebook and Pinterest) or the “Shared Count” source? The latter is a more reliable API and results in less fluctuations.
Hi Marcus,
Yes, you can use the post_type parameter to query for a different post type. Ex: [display-posts post_type=”page”]
Here’s a full list of the available parameters.
Thanks
