I’ll pipe in too Jon, great plug-in and I really do love it. I like the box option around it because it really stands out.

The problem I’ve been running into is that it’s putting icons in the box I didn’t include. I only have five checked and it’s got nine in there. It’s driving me nuts.

I’d also love to see Pinterest included as well as a few of the blogging networks. Just the option to include them if we want.

Either way, great job!

Have you considered a way to cache the Twitter results so that we’re not hitting Twitter all the time? I blow through my 150 calls per hour in the blink of an eye, which puts me in permanent “error mode” with Twitter. I really need a way to solve this problem. So far I haven’t found any plugin that addresses it. Thanks for your consideration.

Can you tell me how you got it to work? (I know it’s been a while I hope you remember!) Because I am having the same problem. It only posts the post title and via @twittername but no link. Thanks!

Very good plugin Jon. Firstly I’ll thank myself for coming across your plugin and more thanks to you for sharing such a simple and easy social sharing plugin for WordPress. I’ll be using this plugin soon in my site.

Jon, really nice social plugin! I’ve tried a lot of them, but I keep coming back to this one. My only challenge is the lack of shortcode support. Shortcode would allow us to order the presentation of content. Unfortunately, my theme (or WP iteself) places the call to action box too far below my content. I’d like this plugin to be displayed ahead of Facebook Comments and others. Can you help us with a shortcode?

Hi,
I have added this wonderful plugin to my site. Works great on my posts, but it doesn’t show up under my posts on my homepage only on the post(permalink) pages.
How can I have it show up under the posts in the homepage line up too.

Oh and I want to add one more vote to the pinterest button being added too.

I love this plugin but was wondering if there are plans to add Pinterest to the list of InLine Social Buttons? I would love to see a Pin It button! Thanks!

I’m hoping someone can help.
I’m not understanding the Facebook APP ID. It appears to be associated with an app. But which one? Do I need to create a specific kind of app. I’m not understanding the association/relationship between the Facebook button on my site and the app id at all.
Please advise!
thanks.

Hi,

Can you tell me how can I put the box “call to action” at the top on my post please ?

I would be extremely excited if you added support for buddypress and, in particular, bbpress (now part of buddypress 1.5)

I have spent several days looking for a solution and can only find one – Buddypress Share It – which does NOT support bbpress forums.

This looks to me to be a significant hole in the market and an OPPORTUNITY for a talented programmer like yourself!

It is very ironic that Buddypress does not have social sharing integration right out of the box – because it’s meant to add social networking to WordPress. Are you feeling the irony here? Ridiculous. Nevertheless, their recent massive release (1.5) STILL does not integrated social sharing tools.

What would be great would be for Socialize to have an all-in-one solution that offered sharing buttons to:
Buddypress Activity Streams
Buddypress Member Profiles
Buddypress Group Profiles
Buddypress Group Forums
Buddypress Site-Wide Forums (aka bbpress) – Main Topics & Replies

Sounds like a lot of work, I suppose – but I’d even pay for that! Plus, I doubt I’m the only one in the world using this stuff….

Do you have any plans in adding a Pinterest Pin It button? Would love, love that addition!!

I’m not sure what exactly was changed and I’m not a programmer myself so I can only guess:

He added this to the socialize.css in /frontend

.google_plusone_button {
padding-right: 12px;
}

and in the socialize-frontend.php this:

if(in_array($serviceID, $socializemeta)){
return $before_button . $this->get_button($serviceID) . $after_button;
} else {
return false;
}
}

was changed for this:

if(in_array($serviceID, $socializemeta)){
if($serviceID == 24 || $serviceID == 25) {
return preg_replace(“/class=\”(.*)\”>/”, “class=\”google_plusone_button $1\”>”, $before_button) . $this->get_button($serviceID) . $after_button;
}
else {
return $before_button . $this->get_button($serviceID) . $after_button;
}
} else {
return false;
}
}

Hope I could help. I paid for it so if it works and you’re running a business I’ll be thankful for a donation
