I’m wondering if that is relevant. * Did you solve it? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Floating Social Bar] Invalid argument supplied](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-argument-supplied-4/) * Thread Starter [James](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wp-james/) * (@wp-james) * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-argument-supplied-4/#post-3948551) * Hi – no, I don’t use MultiSite. I’ve deleted and re-installed anyway but still get the error. This time it’s on line 790 * Thank you for your time. It is appreciated. This must be something weird with my particular setup. * Take care, * James * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Floating Social Bar] The Share Icons Disappear for Several Seconds](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-share-icons-disappear-for-several-seconds/) * Thread Starter [James](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wp-james/) * (@wp-james) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-share-icons-disappear-for-several-seconds/#post-3948513) * Thank you for the very prompt reply. * Thank you for explaining where the delay is coming from. * For what it’s worth, my opinion is that your plug-in changes the behavior that visitors are used to which could easily put off potential ‘Likers’. * They are used to a delay as the buttons load. This delay happens as the page loads. It is normal to see the buttons take a moment to arrive. However that happens while the visitor is busy reading the article or waiting for other elements to load. * What your plug-in does is move that delay to the precise moment where the visitor is wanting to press the button. At the exact moment that the visitor is motivated to Like a page your plug-in removes the buttons from the page – albeit for only a second or five. * This isn’t normal and would put off some people. * My suggestion is that the plug-in loads the ‘fake’ buttons exactly as it currently does. That means the page loads faster – brilliant: I love that! Then, a second or three after the page has fully loaded, the graphic is replaced by the real buttons (rather than waiting for the user to move their mouse there). * This gives all the speed advantages you gain in your design; it would flash the Like buttons and could draw additional attention to them*; and the buttons would be fully loaded by the time the visitor had read the article and was ready to press the Like button. * It’s only my opinion. * Thank you for your time. * James * * perhaps you could even turn this in to a feature by allowing us to choose the delay before the change occurs and using an animation effect to flash the floating bar a subtle color just before the real buttons are loaded. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Floating Social Bar] Invalid argument supplied](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-argument-supplied-4/) * Thread Starter [James](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wp-james/) * (@wp-james) * [12 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-argument-supplied-4/#post-3948512) * Hi, and thank you for the very prompt reply. * So I deactivated all plug-ins but the errors remain. * Then (without activating any plug-ins) I deleted and then re-installed the floating social bar. * The errors still remain. * I’m wondering if it’s anything to do with the ‘Better WP Security’ plug-in by Bit51. This plug-in changes all sorts of settings which are designed to make WordPress less vulnerable to hacking – some of which it says are not reversed when the plug-in is deactivated. Examples are the wp-contents directory can be renamed, the database can be given a different table prefix than is standard and the User with ID 1 is removed from the system. * Do you know know if your plug-in has been tested with that plug-in? * Thanks again for your time, * James Viewing 4 replies - 1 through 4 (of 4 total)
