Clone Social Media Counter?

Posted in: Newsmag

I have multiple FB and Twitter accounts associated with my blog. I would like my readers to be able to choose which account to follow. I know that the Social Media Counter plugin does not accommodate multiple Twitter or FB accounts.

I thought maybe I would hire a developer to clone the social media counter plugin so I could use it as multiple plugins, one for each account. For example:

Social-Media-Counter-1 would be associated with Twitter Account 1 and shown as a Widget in Category 1.
Social-Media-Counter-2 would be associated with Twitter Account 2 and shown as a Widget in Category 2.

Before I spend the time and money I wanted to get your opinion on whether or not this feasible and makes sense.

Hi

You can use Social Counter for multiple accounts by adding different data in plugin’s settings. Here is an example for two different categories: http://screencast.com/t/X8ouLxE5AQu6http://screencast.com/t/3ft8AdfCz7E
You just need to create a new sidebar for each category, add social counter block in it then add the desired data in plugin’s settings.
Thanks!

I agree — it would be nice to be able to choose the social media accounts to include (via dropdown?). Some of us have multiple accounts of one channel associated with our site. (I have two Twitter accounts, for example.) Of course, that would mean labeling them in some way, I suppose.

Hello BruceInLouisville,

Sorry for this but please notice that our theme does not have any such an option that allows you to change your social media accounts into a drop-down menu, sorry! The only way, in this case, was been presented above. You can try finding such a plugin with this functionality and check the results.

Thanks for your understanding!
