Hey, I love social counters, but why does it always show the counter numbers always. We are young companies and don’t have massive followers yet. So, showing the counters does make much sense to us. But we do need to showcase our social presence.
But there is no other way to showcase our social presence than these social counters. So, please help me to disable the counters and have almost other things. In fact what I want is something like this: https://i.imgur.com/WkZtfuL.jpg , the simple buttons with a “Call to action text” and this must be the default option.
I hope you understand what I am trying to say. Thank you 🙂
Hi
Use this css: http://screencast.com/t/P8UqML2fbcZh
.td_social_type .td_social_info:first-child {
display: none;
}
Keep in mind that we can’t offer customization services and any tasks which involve changing default behavior of a specific feature involve custom work. We can offer support for anything related with theme’s features, by this I mean that we can help users to understand how the theme works, how to use a specific feature. We do our best to offer high quality support and we can afford to offer only small customization. However we can’t change theme’s functionality and any tasks which involve custom works falls beyond the support can offer you. If you want to customize the theme and add/edit features my advice is to look for someone who can help you with implementation or hire a developer to do it for you.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hey Andrel,
Thank you for the response. Yes, I do understand that there are limitations of help that we could expect from you but since we don’t know the coding requirements, we usually ask whatever is needed and once we see it can’t be done by your awesome team, I do look for alternatives.
The solution that you have given is not exactly what I am looking for, but for now, it will work for me 🙂
Though I noticed that the code only hides the counter from the Facebook button ( as per the screenshot). Please help me to do the same thing with Twitter and YouTube etc. I know these buttons will need extra two lines of code for each social networks. but it might be easy for you to write these codes as you know the system internally.
Though if you think, it will take much more precious minutes from your life, you may skip my request.
Thank you very much.
Making it simpler, I only want to remove these numbers and texts from social counter button so that it can only have clickable social sites logos. ( Have a loot at these social counters images: https://i.imgur.com/oEUMvvT.jpg )
Thank you.
Hello nano,
You can try to use the below CSS to hide the social info.
The code is ->
.td_social_info{
display:none!important;
}
Thanks.
Instead of doing CSS hack, can you please add option to turn off fetching fan numbers and to avoid displaying them completely? Thanks.
Hello ivpt,
In a future update, it is possible but we cannot say for sure if it will get done in the next update because we have a big list of fixes, improvements, and suggestions to implement. It’s hard to filter them and select which one gets implemented now and which one gets postponed. The developers decide if it gets done or not, though.
Thanks for your understanding!
Hi Catalln,
I just tried your CSS and it worked but having no text makes it look little ugly. Have a look here: https://i.imgur.com/Po1MO3N.jpg
Is there any way to add a simple text like Facebook , Twitter, Instagram and Youtube at the available place after the social icons? I mean right at the place where previously it used to show “100 Fans, 48 Followers, 98 Subscribers etc.
If it can be done. I won’t have to wait for the next update. Please try if it’s possible. I know it’s a pure customisation but it will make the social counter future proof.
Thank you.
Hi Nano,
Please notice that all of these customizations involves some changes in plugin core file. If you want to change the text of this plugin, you will have to work at the td_block_social_counter.php and from there to change these names for each Social Network and replace it with your desired text, like this -> http://screencast.com/t/Ac6MuyueC0 Please notice that is not a simple task and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot help in this regard because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!
Thanks.
Hello Thank you, probably this hints will work for me.
Just one thing, in the first reply to this thread Andrel has given this code and showed the desired result as this : http://screencast.com/t/P8UqML2fbcZh
.td_social_type .td_social_info:first-child {
display: none;
}
I can see that here, only numbers were deleted, not the text “Fans” and hence if I can replace the text “Fan” to “Facebook”, I can get the desired result. But probably this code works for Facebook only, not other social sites like Twitter , YouTube etc.. as I can guess from the image you shared: http://screencast.com/t/P8UqML2fbcZh
But in the second code that you sent:
.td_social_info{
display:none!important;
}
It deletes numbers as well as text both like this: https://i.imgur.com/4roqfV8.jpg
In simple, I want the last favor from you for this thread to suggest me the final code, which will only remove the "counter numbers" from all social networks for this social counter plugin.
Thank you very much.
Hi,
Try this custom css and see how it goes – http://screencast.com/t/E3lQVFzmuxMT – http://screencast.com/t/jovhqZDQzuRV
.td_social_type .td_social_info:nth-child(2) {
display: none;
}
Also you can translate Fans from Theme Panel > Translations – http://screencast.com/t/I8BWEqN9
Thanks!
You saved my life Alln. Long live!! 🙂
Thank you so much.
