Hi scotthendrix7755,

Very thanks for using this plugin.

Please deactivate and then once again activate the plugin. You should see an option for Pinterest in Settings page of the plugin.

Let us know if this solves the issue.

Dear mp2mp2,

Thanks for using our plugin.

Add the following code into the plugins style.css (located in wp-content/plugins/simple-social-share/css/style.css)

#s-share-buttons{
    clear:both;
}

For creating three columns layout you have added a float:left CSS property which hasn’t been cleared (usually done by adding a div having CSS property clear:both). That is creating the issue.

Hope this works.

Thanks & Regards,
Perials Team.

Dear voldby,

If you have selected any button style option apart from the first two in setting page, then ideally there shouldn’t be any page lag. Reason being the buttons are generated without using Javascript which we assumed was slowing your site. Further for three social networks the page loading time should be very less even for buttons with share count.

Anyways, we would surely request you to try our plugin once again in the future for any of your other sites. Please feel free to ask a question on the plugin’s support forum in case you have any issues.

Thanking you once again for giving our plugin a try and for replying back to us.

Hi,

Thanks for sharing the url. You have a very nice colorful and informative website.

Now coming back to the issue, the share count for twitter(718) and Google plus(18) that you see on your home page is actually the share count for your home page(http://www.houstononthecheap.com/) and not the individual post. If you visit any of the individual posts you will find the share count different. Say for example if you visit the post ‘Free Houston zoo after 2 pm’ (http://www.houstononthecheap.com/free-houston-zoo-free-lego-build) you will find the share count is 27 and 3 for twitter and Google plus resp.

As for now now the plugin can’t show the share count for individual posts on listing page. By default it will show the share count for the url of the page being viewed.

We’ll surely try to fix this in forthcoming version of the plugin.

Thanks & Regards,
Perials Team.

Dear Darick,

Thanks for using our plugin.

As of for now there is no setting in the plugin to open button links in a popup window instead of new tab. Still you can add the following code to the plugin to force the button links open in a new small window

add_action('wp_head','s3_open_in_new_window');
function s3_open_in_new_window() {
	?>
	<script>
		jQuery(document).ready(function($){
			$("#s-share-buttons>a").click(function(){
				var myWindow = window.open($(this).attr('href'), "name", "width=450, height=400");
				return false;
			});
		});
	</script>
	<?php
}

The above code will go into ‘simple-social-share.php’ right before the very last line of the code (i.e before ?> on line 188 and after ‘new simple_social_share;’ on line 187).

Let us know if this works.

Thanks & Regards,
Perials Team.

Dear f.macdonald,

Kindly download the plugin once again and replace your old files with the new ones. This bug was there in the previous code of the plugin. Few days ago we have updated some of the plugin files. Since we are very close to releasing a modified version 2 of our plugin we didn’t update the version number.

If the problem persists even with the new files, then let us know.

Thanks & Regards,
Perials Team.

Dear Kevin,

Thanks for using our plugin and for the suggestion.

You are very correct. By using just “https://www.tumblr.com/share” in the url works well allowing users to share not just title but also photos, videos and many more. We will definitely make this change in the upcoming version of our plugin.

But we would also like to add that the current url for Tumblr share button in the plugin is working fine. We have tested it on our development server.

Below is the PHP code for sharing link generated from the official button generator page of tumblr(http://www.tumblr.com/buttons)
<a href="http://www.tumblr.com/share/link?url=<?php echo urlencode(INSERT_URL_HERE) ?>&name=<?php echo urlencode(INSERT_NAME_HERE) ?>&description=<?php echo urlencode(INSERT_DESCRIPTION_HERE) ?>" title="Share on Tumblr" style="display:inline-block; text-indent:-9999px; overflow:hidden; width:81px; height:20px; background:url('http://platform.tumblr.com/v1/share_1.png') top left no-repeat transparent;">Share on Tumblr</a>

If you remove the inline styling, description parameter and title attribute the above code simplifies as below
<a href="http://www.tumblr.com/share/link?url=<?php echo urlencode(INSERT_URL_HERE) ?>&name=<?php echo urlencode(INSERT_NAME_HERE) ?> >Share on Tumblr</a>

This is how our plugin uses the share button link.

Thanking you once again for your suggestions,
Perials Team.
