Social icons

Hi there,

We don't really have a usual suggestion for this but someone did mention this the other day:
https://generatepress.com/forums/topic/social-share-plugin-using-svgs/

All social sharing plugins should work well with GP :)

Hi Pedro,

What is the difference of the plug-in with the social buttons generated by JetPack? Since I already have JetPack for other functionalities, why should I use a separate plug-in for this?

Thanks!

Hello Hasan!

Just as Ender commented, Jetpack is a pretty heavy plugin that will add more load time to the site.

So I have not used it on my sites for several years now.

Thanks Ender & Pedro for shedding light on this! Really interesting read on JetPack!

I was thinking about getting rid of JetPack for a long time but was not able to let the site stat and the tiles gallery module go. I love these features and use only these two, but I guess it is time for me to get rid of JetPack.

Already removed JetPack from a new site and installed the social share plug-in that Leo shared. Hopefully will be able to get rid of it from the main site too soon!

Thanks guys for providing your feedback :)

By the way, anyone know about any light-weight gallery plugin that can display images in masonry view like JetPack?

Envira Gallery and FooGallery get good feedback - but you may need the premium versions for some features.

Thanks David! Both of them seems to come with huge features and heavy JavaScript. Is there any popular very lightweight plugin for this? I just need a masonry layout like JetPack - nothing else.

Nearly all i have seen use JS, not really found one that is super lightweight. Personally if i want a simple masonry gallery i would do this:

1. Add a Gallery Image Block. Select your images and set the columns to 1.
2. Add this CSS:

@media (min-width: 769px) {
    .masonry-gallery {
        display: block;
        column-count: 3;
    }
}
@media (max-width: 768px) and (min-width: 420px) {
    .masonry-gallery {
        display: block;
        column-count: 2;
    }
}

You could do it with pure css and flexbox.

See example here:

Flexbox method is good but it does virtually the exact same thing is the column-count method... little less CSS :)

That is correct. You are right.

I have another question, i open a new topic.

Thanks - this topic has gonna little off piste
