And how can I add pinterest to the social subscriber widget?

You could edit the header area of posts to add social buttons from social networks there. I don’t think the theme has any support for doing something like that.

Also if the social counter widget doesn’t have a Pinterest button, the normal social widget might.

Hello,
Unfortunately this can’t be done easily. We would have gladly made it for you but we work very hard on the updates and new features. You can always get a freelancer from sites like: http://www.microlancer.com/

Also your solution is not doable easily because what you show me there is the desktop version, but what happen on mobile and tablets where the space is limited?

Thanks for understanding!
Have a nice day!

“Unfortunately this can be done easily.”

Can’t be done easily?

Also I think Marius is right, putting the social buttons alongside the title is impossible on the mobile layout. Putting it underneath would make more sense (on posts).

On the excerpt version for categories and the homepage, a social bar underneath the excerpt would work on desktop and mobile, but I feel like it would’t be effective. Usually people share links after they read them and get the gist of the content, not after reading a one sentence excerpt.

But yeah like Marius said you could get this done by someone from microlancer, fiverr, elance, olance, etc. Goodluck,

@circuitsports, you need to go into the backend which would be
/wp-content/themes/Newspaper/includes/app/modules/td_module_1.php

Insert this code:
$buffy .= $this->get_social_sharing();

Above this code
$buffy .= $this->get_content();


@Marius
, is there a way to add the share on the individual images that are in the post gallery? What is the individual image file?

Thanks!

Hello,
The images from posts are stored in database(the path), they are not in a file.

You can try this plugins if you want: http://wordpress.org/plugins/slingpic/screenshots/ or similar.

Hope this help!
Thanks!

This looks like a great plugin. I will try this out.

Is there any way of adding more social network buttons to the bottom of the posts? *I want to try and keep the plugins limited to keep the template from slowing down*. It currently has Tweet, Like, G+ and Pin.

Also, when clicking an image in a post, can I add those social share buttons on that page? Ex: http://tinyurl.com/mzdzhh3

Thanks in advance!

In case this helps anybody, if you search through my older posts, using the AddThis plugin with my async loading hack works very well for choosing the exact kind of icons and share/like buttons you wish to use at top and/or bottom of each post page.

For speed you can even just have the classic touch friendly “pill” which does drop down to select whatever share locale needed.

Much easier than hacking the theme templates.
