Social share buttons

That's a clever idea! Thanks David it works like a charm!

Regards

Glad to be of help!

I'm using the GP plugin on this page: https://veganing.co/is-bath-and-body-works-vegan/

But I can't get the icons to be centered and sit under the author name - Can you help?

Hi there,

we are not the developers responsible for GP Social Share. It was created by one of community.
However you can use a little CSS to center and add some bottom margin like so:

#gp-social-share {
    justify-content: center;
    margin-bottom: 2em;
}

Thanks David, worked a treat!

You're welcome

Hi,

Just to say that I've just tested the plugin https://wordpress.org/plugins/gp-social-share-svg/ and in my side it completely made my website really slow and never show any shared icon...
Do you know why ? I have all the lastest version of WP and GP Premium.

Is there another light way to put shared icons on post/pages ?

Thank you

Hi Kevin,

that is peculiar as of all the Sharing plugins that particular one makes no 3rd party requests to the social network servers, and doesn't load any large font libraries for the few icons it requires.

Another one i know a few developers recommend is this:

https://wordpress.org/plugins/shared-counts/

But that has shared counts which will make those additional network requests. But the developers of that plugin are well respected.

Hi David,

Thanks, i will try again later and clean the cache, maybe it was my internet connection too (i am traveling) and have a look to the logs. Because indeed i prefer not to add requests :) I will tell you if it's better.

Could be :) _ let us know

For information the plugin GP Social Share didn't worked for me, i used a hook element thanks to this tutorial : https://www.wplogout.com/create-social-sharing-buttons-in-generatepress-without-plugin/

Hi Kevin,

Can you open a new topic? This topic is already resolved for the topic starter and yours seems to be an isolated case.

Opening a new topic lets you use the private information text field where you can provide the site details if needed. It's also appropriate one to not derail other user's topics. Thank you.

Hi David, thanks to your recommendation I've downloaded Sassy Social Share. It's now on all posts which is great, but it's also on all pages. I don't suppose you know how to remove it from pages? Or if there's a code I could add to pages to stop it from displaying on there? :)

Hi there,

is there not a setting in the plugin that allows you to select which Post Types to display the icons on ?
Or if you're using a Hook element to add the Shortcode they provide you can set the Hook Elements display rules to Posts > All Posts.
