[...] Socialize is one of more popular plugins for social sharing WordPress content. Unfortunately, at the time of writing this post the website was down. It lets you rearrange icons, use Facebook Open Graph and Bitly. You can, of course, change the way the buttons are displayed, as well as their position on the page. [...]

Yes thank you I just re-added my bitly key and that did it!

Ok. I haven’t checked a long time whether it has been fixed automatically. I’ll check it again & I’ll let you know. :)

Thanks for the kind words. It’s a fun project and something I’m quite passionate about.

You can change the default settings and turn everything off. Then only display buttons on the pages you want while you are editing them.

This functionality works sometimes with my plugin. I’m currently not exactly sure how it works. I only copied the code right off the Facebook plugin page.

Make sure you refresh your cache. Depending on what level of caching you use you may need to restart your server.

The stumbleupon button has always been a problem. Not much I can do on my end. Hopefully they can stabilize the up time of whatever hosts the button.

You can make the facebook button wider in the button settings. Currently there is no easy way to target specific buttons. I believe with the current setup however you can regenerate the classes yourself using filters.

Not sure about the alert box problem. I’ll have to spend some time looking into that. The bitly problems seems to happen if bitly is down or the bitly information is wrong. I’ll look into ways to prevent there from being nothing if bitly somehow fails.

This sounds more like a facebook problem. The plugin only inserts the javascript provided by the services. There’s nothing else happening on my end.

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll continue to expand the current functionality so hopefully it will eventually be more in line with what you are looking for.

Looks like the problem resolved itself. Hopefully it continues to work.

Help – I use Socialize on my site and love it but just realized the Tweet button only gives my twitter ID not the link to the post they want to tweet out! What do I do to fix this? Example: http://www.mybusinesspresence.com/social-media-tough-love/ THANKS

Love the plugin, but I am going to have to disable it. It shows on my blog home page cutting off my list of excerpts of posts. It doesn’t show up at all on the single blog post page at all. I have custom posts in my theme and I need a code to disable the social bar on certain pages. I also want the email and print buttons off. If these things get fixed, let me know and I’ll give it another try. Too bad. I really like it and it almost caught all my custom posts where other plugins caught none. It just missed my portfolio. But others had a disable code and this one doesn’t. But some also provide a disable code for custom field which is not available in my custom posts so keep that in mind. Thanks.

I really like your Socialize plugin. I have one problem, however.

As administrator I clicked the Facebook Like button on a lot of pages on my site. It grayed those buttons and deactivated them. Someone told me it is the same when they pull up the site at their location. How can I reset the button (without affecting the number of likes) so it will again be active?

Thanks.

I love the plugin. I have tried all the social media plugins and this seems to be the best. Thank you.

I have two problems, however, and I wonder if you can help?

First, if I try to adjust the per-page settings (in particular to remove the alert box and inline buttons from my front page) the settings “don’t take” – that is, on the edit screen for the page, I tick the box labelled “Hide Alert Box” and untick the inline buttons, but when I press ‘Update’ for the post, the inline buttons are ticked again and the “Hide Alert Box” is unticked.

Second, the bit.ly custom link facility seems to work intermittently. If I put in my bit.ly username and API key, it sometimes generates a draft tweet using my custom bit.ly URL, and sometimes generates a draft tweet with no URL in it at all.

My website is http://www.owen.org if you want to take a look.

Many thanks
Owen

Is there a way to configure css for each button? I.e I want to use the verb “recommend”, but then I need the Facebook-button to be a bit wider. Doing so, makes it go into the next button. I`ve looked into the css-file, but cannot find a place to edit each button on it`s on.

Anybody notice with the inline that even when they have it set to horizontal, it’s still vertical? I’ve deactivated all other plugins to see if that helped and it still doesn’t.
