Hello how to change “via” value in twitter share button ?

i’ve set twitter link in Social Networking menu on Theme Panel http://twitter.com/Citizen6ID and in Social Counter widget “Citizen6ID” but in twitter share button is Citizen6.net (my domain) not Citizen6ID (twitter username)

Check for the screenshot here http://prntscr.com/ef8b4l
Also check my site here http://www.citizen6.net/

Hello wisnuwr,

Please keep in mind the Sharing button has nothing to do with the Social Counter. It is two different things and implementations. So, regarding on Twitter Sharing Button, notice that when you hover on button, the link contain your Theme Title which can be changed from General Settings, like this -> https://www.screencast.com/t/hesUHaJPj

Thanks for your understanding!

Twitter username for the Twitter sharing button on posts is set under Theme panel >> Post settings >> sharing.

If this is blank is uses the General Settings site title. Which it should never do because it can cause someone on twitter to be spammed with notifications. The site title and twitter username is 2 different things and may not be the same. Twitter @ Names have no space, Word Press site titles have spaces.

So your site name could be “Buffalo Botox” but then the twitter share button will spam poor @Buffalo on twitter with notifications.

I wanted to say thank you for this. It was driving me crazy and the answer was so simple.
