Hey Jon,
Your plugin is awesome, i went through 30+ plugins and finally shortlisted and am using your plugin. Its serving my needs very well indeed, however i have one problem, as mentioned earlier, the buttons don’t show up when a scheduled post gets posted.
On my site, i schedule posts months in advance and getting back to every new post and editing it is a big pain.
Is there any solution?
You can even reply to me via mail or i’ll frequent this page for a reply. The site in question is the one attached to my name on this comment.
Thanks.
Syd.

Looks like the message box has made scrambled egg of my lastcomment. In a nutshell Socialize code isn’t being inserted properly into one of my pages: http://www.cdpcelebration.com/when-advertisements-were-better-than-the-programmes-they-interrupted/tv-cinema/ Whereas it is working fine on all other pages and posts. I wondered if you could shed some light on what might be going wrong.

All working beautifully up to a point. Every page and every post has an in-body tweetmeme icon. Every page but one: http://www.cdpcelebration.com/when-advertisements-were-better-than-the-programmes-they-interrupted/tv-cinema/Looking at the source code for the page it seems to have included only part of the socialize code:
Whereas on other pages it includes the full script:
tweetmeme_url = “http://www.cdpcelebration.com/when-advertisements-were-better-than-the-programmes-they-interrupted/”;
tweetmeme_source = “tweetmeme”;

Any clues to what’s going on?

Hey everyone! Jon, LOVE the plugin! I just got started with blogging, and this makes updating everything easier. My question is, new posts don’t have the buttons next to them – I have to edit the posts, and manually check which social sites I want to list. I do my post externally and upload them, is this the problem? I just prefer to use my own program vs. WordPress online editor. I do have the inline thing checked, but have the alert box unchecked, as it was taking up too much space. Any ideas as to how to get it to automatically update each post with the social links? Thanks a bunch!!!

Is there any way i can place it other in different location.. For example i want to call the plugin from wordpress theme manually, or want to place it on the right side ??

LOVE this plugin — thanks for all your hard work.

My dilemma: I want the buttons to show up on both the single post page as well as the index page, and if I check “Display Inline Buttons On All Pages” in the plugin settings, this of course works. However, on the Category and Archive pages (and I suspect anywhere where there is an excerpt), I get:

tweetmeme_url = “http://example.com/2009/12/permalink/”;
tweetmeme_source = “tweetmeme”;

The only way to avoid this is to comment out $text = strip_tags($text); from the excerpt creation in formatting.php, but then I get the buttons on the category and archive views, and I don’t really want them there because they extend far below the length of the excerpt.

Help! Is there a solution? I really love this plugin and want it to work!

Awesome piece of social marketing. It actually makes a difference and is very well thought from the beggining.

Few flaws I’ve found:
1. it doesn’t show in the blog’s home page.
2. Icons are a liiiitle bit too big. Try 2/3 of the actual size and more resolution. Contact me and I’ll help you gladly.
3. More services available would be great.

Thanks for great plugin!

I have some suggestions though. In my blog .post img is styled so the icons of Delicious and Stumbleupon are messed up. There should be way to fix that.

I’d wish the plugin to be more accurate in layout of buttons and icons as well.

It worked, duh I didn’t clear my browser! Thank you again.

What’s your website. It shouldn’t be inserting it if you have that option unchecked.

Thank you Jon for the response. I did that with no luck. My feed still shows all that code. Any other ideas

I still need to figure out when the meta data is getting reset … it’s happened to me a few times too and it is pretty annoying.

Mine does the same thing. Kinda a pain. But great plugin!

Anyone found a fix?

Go into the socialize settings and uncheck “Display Inline Buttons On All Pages”. That will remove the buttons from everywhere except posts.

I’ll keep this in mind for the next update. Glad you enjoy the plugin.

How do I fix this??? the code for the tweet count shows up in my feed?

tweetcount_url = “http://asiteforwomen.com/free-offers/share-tips-for-saving-time-money/”; tweetcount_src = “RT @@redkathy:”; tweetcount_via = false; tweetcount_links = true; tweetcount_size = “large”; tweetcount_background = “80b62a”; tweetcount_border = “CCCCCC”;
I know it’s probably my template but I’m a newbie so any help will be greatly appreciated. I so love this plugin, Thank you

I tried a bunch of plugins too and like this one the best by far. Only one request: I’d like the in-content button to be able to float:right instead of float:left. A checkbox or a text field for putting in my own CSS would be great.

For now, I just updated socialize.css directly.
