Search Results for 'sharing'

Hi Mehedi,

Plugin looks cool but not in 1920×1080.

I gave up on that for two reasons; I used to think it was cool, but now I kind of think it’s a vanity thing where the site owner is more excited than the people visiting it. Second, it seems to be a resource hog since you need to go grab that info someplace either for every page view, or cache that stuff every hour, which means for a new post a new visitor wouldn’t see the shares anyway, such as coming from Google News when it’s “news.”

I never share something because others have, I share something because I like the post. SO, I guess if it floats your boat, I’d look at that other plugin we talked about a couple of weeks back which used to hook into the third party service, but now won’t … wait for his version, then look at the code to see how he does it. (That is what I’d do.)

Ha! Good luck contacting twitter; they don’t do tech support.
Basically they point you at their developer section to run tests on your site yourself. 🙂

(I have support ticket in with their ad dept. right now as an ad I tried to run wouldn’t “save”… )

Works fine on Facebook and Google Plus. Already checked twitter tags. Might try contacting Twitter about it and see if they will do anything.

I’ve just updated to WP 4.0… no issues, a few plugin updates though. Really like what they have done with Media and Plugins section.

Try something other than twitter to test change, since they often “cache it once” even if wrong, so a new tweet might just keep showing the original with error, and won’t update (at least that is what I’ve seen.)

Be sure to check the page source and ensure the og and twitter tags are populated; which you likely already have done.

I came in late on this, so might not be relevant at this point.
Was just popping in to see if anybody was crashing with WP 4.0 🙂

Just checked and I’ve done all of that. I’m a little baffled.

I had this happen the other day on a post which
1) had no text at start of the post and so it grabbed the “code” from the post.
2) adding excerpt helped.
3) with the home page template, adding an excerpt to excerpt box, and also meta description for the home “page” used for page with Yoast SEO fixed it for me.

Still not working 🙁

Any Suggestions would be gratefully received.

hehe 😉 Do you know how to get share counts? I tried a lot of scripts that’re on the internet but almost all of them don’t even work 🙁

Once I try it I will let you know if anything blows up 😉

and hello from twitterland, too !

Thanks, Christopher 🙂

Nice work! @mehedi
I had planned to do something like that for WP (for our WP sites, for same reason you did it) based on the work I did building that exact thing for our classic non-WP site … but ran out of time. Will try your plug when I circle back 🙂

(example of my version running on our business site; not available as WP plugin, but same idea: http://www.send2press.com/services/press-release-distribution.shtml)

Thanks for the shout out, too. I won’t be helping out any more this month beyond bug report/fixes which I’m concentrating on now.

I’m now dealing with implementation of mod_spdy with mod_pagespeed to allow site to run under SSL for Google’s new push for that (super annoying). I’ll have some info on that once we suffer all the inevitable calamities of doing something only 10 people seem to know how to do (sigh … ask your hosting co about mod_spdy and watch their head explode). 🙂

GREAT JOB!!!!

Groovy. Funnily enough I had planned to make a plugin for social media sharing icons, since we did that for our main business site (not running on WP, but in house CMS we had built in 2005/7; but allows some of the same kind of hooks and drop-ins, but is running shtml vs php). Now, no time, sadly. 🙂

Thank you for letting us know Arved. All OK for me also, finally 🙂
Lucian, you can mark this thread as fixed. Huge thanks to all who tried to help.

hello,

I’ve got this issue after the upgrade too.

I don’t want insert featured images any more. I’m using the feature image for publishing on social networks.

I’m going to try disabling lightbox.

The problem just resolved for me. I guess it was something on Google side.

I will also do further tests with my particular new site, since only 2 posts, I can mess with it easily enough, although the two posts are already 301 redirected from the two 15 year old articles from main part of site.

I will try to switch to larger image outside of post with lightbox off and see if that does it.

This may be totally unrelated, since I also first tried with the large full width image and lightbox on, to place a small image of the featured image at bottom of the post, and that didn’t seem to work with G+ either. Again, G+ has some on/off/on/off issues that I see from our other sites where sometimes they grab the full text sometimes just photo and headline. Weird.

However in this one case, switching off lightbox on featured images, AND placing featured image into post, solved it for me.

Thanks for the quick fix Christopher, but as Arved007 mention above, switching off the featured image and insert it manually is not an option for me right now. Regarding the og:image duplicate I just removed it thanks to your guide in the other topic. Still waiting for a fix from one of the moderators.

Thanks

Yep, the featured image isnt showing in G+. However, setting in off to show the featured image and insert in manually at the beginning of the post is not an option for me.
