Search Results for 'sharing'

These are actually very close to the same buttons used with the theme for the social sharing buttons without the number/shares info. 🙂

Most folk are just hacking that file in the theme to add more buttons.

Well, I’m not doing it on a WordPress site …

here is the basis for what I’m doing on our business site:
(tutorial, one of several out there with this specific code)

You can see how I’m using that code, slightly tweaked for our site here; scroll to very bottom of page (this is **NOT** using WordPress! — this is hand-built static code, based on Bootstrap 2 for compatibility with old folk running WinXP/IE6-7-8 in addition to all modern browsers):

Also, remember Ridiculously Responsive Social Sharing Buttons? There is a plugin for WordPress now, it looks great on Newspaper theme but it looks a bit messy..?

I’m not forcing any one to install no plugins,i’m just sharing what works for me with out any issues..it’s up to the user to install it at they own risk..bless

Note with twitter that once they cache a certain page, they don’t recache it once updated typically. I have this issue on couple of sites where we did some major updates and wanted to re share some pages, but both FB and twitter keep the OLD info, old photo, etc. and won’t update the NEW info, since they already have been “shared” the “old/bad” version. This may not apply to you, but keep in mind FB and Twitter have so much traffic and frequent technical issues, that sometimes there is simply nothing you can do about it as it has nothing to do with your site whatsoever.

Basically if you look at your page source and see all the properly formatted og:tags and twitter tags, description and title tags, then the issue is NOT with your site.

For example, I was sharing some stories from CNN to my G+ account, and all that was showing in the share was the photo and the page URL, no headline, and no description. Issue not with CNN, but with Google.

Likely doesn’t help, but it’s an on/off/on problem with sharing stuff to FB in particular, and sometimes G+. Twitter has been mostly stable, but they do have problems but they do at least have a developer page to SHOW what systems in their network are/are not working in realtinme.

Twitter status alert: http://status.twitter.com/

Twitter network/API status: https://dev.twitter.com/status

Facebook: Platform Live Status: https://developers.facebook.com/status/

example on Facebook Aug 1:
August 1 at 8:59am

Increased errors/latency on all Platform surfaces
Facebook is currently experiencing an issue that is affecting all API and web surfaces. Our engineers detected the issue quickly and are working to resolve it ASAP. We’ll update shortly.

Yep, it’s working on Facebook but still displaying incorrectly on Twitter. See here: http://take.ms/7xetB

You could likely comment that button out of the theme template (search forum as there are numerous threads on adding or removing buttons; as many people were wanting to add Pinterest for example).

For SEO you might want to keep it, simply for Google “good will….” …. and as far as low numbers, I’ve actually noticed a lack of shares for G+ on almost every major news portal I go to … 376 shares on twitter, 0 for G+ and I feel like a nutbag for sharing to my G+ page. So, I hear ya, man! We’re keeping G+ on all our sites until Google kills it.

I’m having issues resolving this to be honest.

I have installed the SEO plugin by Yoast and added title and description which is showing when I right click > view page source. I have also done the same for social option in the SEO plugin by Yoast but when sharing the link to my homepage I still get this: http://take.ms/HMhfW (also happens on other social platforms)

For the sake of clarity here are screenshots of social and homepage meta information I have added in the SEO plugin by Yoast: http://take.ms/M0QpX and http://take.ms/k533C

I’d also like to add that I don’t understand the information when I add my URL here: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ Please help!!

After changing it how long should it take for the changes to take effect?

Thanks for that! I have installed the Yoast plugin.

For future reference could you tell me the path for the meta tags?

Thank You Lucian
