In reply to: [Socialize] [Plugin: Socialize] error on page updateI have a new version very close to being finished. Development stalled temporarily because of a potential change in ownership but I’ve ultimately decided to continue developing the plugin.
I’m now actively developing the plugin on github so anyone can follow my progress. https://github.com/jonbish/socialize
Once the next version is tested and complete I will move the stable version to WordPress.org

In reply to: [WP About Author] [Plugin: WP About Author]: Problem with GravatarUsually this issue is a result of theme using styles that overwrite the plugin. Do you have a URL I can take a look at?

In reply to: [Socialize] [Plugin: Socialize] Any way to shrink the button size?I think Jacquesdancona is using a different plugin.
You can go to the Buttons settings page in Socialize and change the layouts to horizontal which might be more of what you are looking for.

In reply to: [Socialize] [Plugin: Socialize] Buttons suddenly started overlappingI’ve noticed this on my own site and can assure you it is not the plugin. I am going to try and work something into the next release that should fix this but it looks like Twitter just made their Twitter button fatter.

In reply to: [plugin: Socialize] Facebook "Like" not workingIt’s not my plugin messing up the markup but the buttons themselves. Unfortunately there is not much I can do and I am working to incorporate different versions of the buttons into the next release. The solution is to not use the official widgets and buttons provided by the services but that would defeat the purpose of the plugin.
As far as the Facebook like button goes, Facebook is weird about how and where it displays your likes. I’ve noticed after liking something with the button, the like will be half way down my Facebook page instead of at the top. Also, if I’ve previously liked something on a site, sometimes it won’t show up at all. My plugin doesn’t control where the likes appear in Facebook and only facilitates including the button on your site.
I think this is just personal preference. I personally like the fact that the plugin does not add additional help screens, I already have too much of that, even in my own plugins.
If you really want to add the shortcodes as reference in WordPress you can install http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-help/ and copy the help from the developers site.
I have since uploaded a new version of the plugin with some small fixes I was hoping would fix the problem. It is most likely a memory issue if it is still not working. There are 4 things you can try to fix this:
1) If you have access to your PHP.ini file you can increase the memory limit directly. Open the php.ini file and find memory_limit and set the value to 64M or 128M if it is less.
memory_limit = 64M2) If you do not have access to the php.ini file then you can also increase the PHP memory limit via your .htaccess file. Open your .htaccess and add the below line to it to increase the memory to 64M or 128M.
php_value memory_limit 64M3) You can also increase the PHP memory limit via the wp-config.php file of your WordPress installation. Open your sites wp-config.php file and search for ‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’ if it is there then change the limit size to 64M or 128M, if it is not present then add the below code
define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');4) If you are still having the problem you, contact your hosting provider and ask them raise your memory limit.
I’m going to do my best to optimize the plugin over the next few months without sacrificing features.
I’ve taken a couple tries at addressing this issue with no luck. I have another version ready for the next release of WordPress that uses some new features I’m hoping might solve this problem. I might try and release it a bit earlier just so we can see if things are working. Sorry this has been a problem it’s just a hard problem to recreate on my end.

In reply to: [Socialize] [Plugin: Socialize] Separate FB share and Like/Recommend buttonI removed the original share button altogether once they stopped supporting it. I probably won’t be looking into it too much further. I am going to be adding some hooks and filters to the plugin to allow others to expand and change functionality.
The Share button has been deprecated in favor of the Like button, and will no longer be supported. Please use the Like button whenever possible to drive maximum traffic to your apps. - via http://developers.facebook.com/docs/share/Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Socialize] [Plugin: Socialize] error on page updateThanks Paul I’ll look into this.
It seems the button is working fine now. Sometimes the services themselves can go down.

In reply to: [Socialize] Unable to display at bottom of postsThe buttons do display below the posts. It’s a key part of the plugins functionality.
What I was saying before is you cannot display them inline with the content at the bottom of the post. That would look weird.
To turn on buttons below posts go to your Socialize Settings and click on the Display tab. From there look for the ‘Call to Action’ Box Settings. Make sure you have the checkbox selected to display buttons on posts and pages respectively. You can also set the default buttons to display under the Buttons tab in the settings. More importantly you can turn buttons on and off for individual posts as well.
I’ll look into this. Another user reported this issue but I can’t recreate it. I’ll post updated when I know something.
