- - The more sharing- and invite- features you place on your site, the more external codes you load (i.e. from the social media sites; we just use their code), therefore impacting loading speed. So to prevent this, give your icons only 'Visit us'-functionality rather than sharing-functionalities.

  - We've programmed it so that the code for the social media icons is the one which loads lasts on your site, i.e. after all the other content has already been loaded. This means: even if there is a decrease in loading speed, it does not impact a user's experience because he sees your site as quickly as before, only the social media icons take a bit longer to load.

  Note: This plugin requires CURL to be activated/installed on your server (which should be the standard case), and a PHP version of 5.4 or above. If you don't have it, please contact your hosting provider or server admin.

+ If you don�t know how to do it, please contact your server support / hosting company for that. Tell them you need it for a social sharing plugin on WordPress which may take longer to upload.
101
 
102
  If your issue is still not fixed after you�ve followed the steps above, we can provide support as part of our share to social Premium Plugin: https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/.
103
 
107
 
108
  The plugin requires CURL for the social share counts and other features.
109
 
110
+ = Social share icons don't show =
111
 
112
+ Please ensure you actually placed the social share buttons either as social widget (in your widget area) or as floating icons under question 5). The Premium Plugin makes placing the social icons especially easy and also allows you to place sticky social share icons on your site, define the placement of the social share icons by margins and many other options, see https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/.
113
 
114
+ If only some social share icons show, but not all, then please clear your cache, and check if you may have conflicting browser extensions (e.g. 'Disconnect'-app in Chrome). Also Ad-Blockers are known culprits, please switch them off temporarily to see if that is the reason.
115
 
116
  If the social share icons still don't show then there's an issue with your template. Please contact the creator of your template for that.
117
 
118
+ If you are referring to specific social share icons not showing in the plugin itself (e.g. you're looking for a Whatsapp share icon, but it doesnt exist) please note that our Premium Plugin has many more social media share icons, see https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/
119
 
120
+ = Twitter social share counts are not displaying (anymore) =
121
 
122
  Unfortunately, Twitter stopped providing any social share count. God knows why.
123
 
124
+ = Changes don't get saved / Deleted plugin but the social share icons still show =
125
 
126
+ Most likely you have the WP Cache plugin installed. Please de-activate and then re-activate it, then the social share icons should display again.
127
 
128
+ = Links when clicking on the social share icons don't work =
129
 
130
+ Please ensure you've entered the 'http://' at the beginning of the url (for *all* social networks). If the social share icons are not clickable at all there is most likely an issue with your template. This is especially the case if you've given your social share buttons several features, which should show a pop-up (tooltip) when you move over the social share icons.
131
 
132
+ = I cannot upload custom social share icons =
133
 
134
+ Most likely that's because you've set 'allow_url_fopen' to 'off'. Please turn it to 'on' (or ask your server admin to do so, he'll know what to do. Tell them you need it to upload custom share icons for a social media buttons plugin).
135
 
136
+ = My Youtube social share icon (direct follow) doesn't work =
137
 
138
  Please ensure that you've selected the radio button 'Username' when you enter a youtube username, or 'Channel ID' when you entered a channel ID.
139
 
140
+ = Aligning the social share icons (centered, left- or right-aligned) doesn't work =
141
 
142
+ The alignment options under question 5 align the social share icons with respect to each other, not where they appear on the page. Our new Premium Plugin is the best social sharing plugin on the market, allowing you to define also many other social share icon alignments (e.g. within a widget, within shortcode etc.).
143
 
144
  = Clicking on the RSS icon returns funny codes =
145
 
153
 
154
  = Sharing doesn't take the right text or picture =
155
 
156
+ We use the share codes from Facebook, Google+ etc. and therefore don't have any influence over which text & pic Facebook decides to share.
157
 
158
+ Note that you can define an image as 'Featured Image' which tells Facebook / Google etc. to share that one. You'll find this 'Featured Image' section in your blog's admin area where you can edit your blog post.
159
 
160
  You can crosscheck which image Facebook will take by entering your url on https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/.
161
 
162
+ UPDATE: we made significant enhancements to the premium plugin, it now allows you to define the sharing pics and texts for your social share icons.
163
+
164
+ = The pop-up shows although I only gave my social share icon one function =
165
 
166
+ The pop-up only disappears if you've given your social share icons only a 'visit us'-function, otherwise (e.g. if you gave it 'Like' (on facebook) or 'Tweet' functions) a pop-up is still needed because the social share buttons for those are coming directly from the social media sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) and we don't have any influence over their design.
167
 
168
+ = I selected to display the social share icons after every post but they don't show =
169
 
170
+ The social share icons usually do show, however not on your blog page, but on your single posts pages. The Premium plugin (https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/) also allows to display the social share icons on your homepage.
171
 
172
  = Plugin decreases my site's loading speed =
173
 
175
 
176
  If you still experience loading speed issues, please note that:
177
 
178
+ - The more sharing- and invite- features you place on your site, the more external codes you load (i.e. from the social media sites; we just use their share code), therefore impacting loading speed. So to prevent this, give your social share icons only 'Visit us'-functionality rather than sharing-functionalities.
179
 
180
  - We've programmed it so that the code for the social media icons is the one which loads lasts on your site, i.e. after all the other content has already been loaded. This means: even if there is a decrease in loading speed, it does not impact a user's experience because he sees your site as quickly as before, only the social media icons take a bit longer to load.
181
 
182
  There might be also other issues on your site which cause a high loading speed (e.g. conflicts with our plugins or template issues). Please ask your template creator about that.
183
 
184
+ Also, if you've uploaded social media sharing icons not provided by the plugin itself (i.e. custom share icons) please ensure they are compressed as well.
185
 
186
  = After moving from demo-server to live-server the follow/subscribe-link doesn't work anymore =
187
 
189
 
190
  If you already placed the code for a subscription form on your site, remove it again and take the new one from the new plugin installation.
191
 
192
+ = There are other issues when I activate the plugin or place the social share icons =
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
193
 
194
  Please check the following:
195
 
199
 
200
  If issues persist most likely your theme has issues which makes it incompatible with our plugin. Please contact your template creator for that. As part of the Premium Plugin (https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/) we fix also theme issues, and provide support to ensure that your social media share buttons appear on your site (exactly where you want them).
201
 
202
+ = How can I see how many people decided to share or like my post? =
203
 
204
+ You can see this by activating the social share 'counts' on the front end (under question 4 in the USM plugin, question 5 in the USM+ plugin).
205
 
206
  We cannot provide you this data in other ways as it's coming directly from the social media sites. One exception: if you like to know when people start to follow you by email, then you can get email alerts. For that, please claim your feed (see question above).
207
 
208
  = How can I change the 'Please follow & like us :)'? =
209
 
210
+ You can change it in the Widget-area where you dropped the widget (with the social share icons) on the sidebar. Please click on it (on the sidebar), it will open the menu where you can change the text.
211
 
212
  If you don't want to show any text, just enter a space (' ').
213
 
214
+ = Can I use a shortcode to place the social share icons? =
 
 
 
 
 
 
215
 
216
+ Yes, use [DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS] to show the social share icons. You can place it into any editor.
217
 
218
+ Alternatively, you can place the following into your codes to show the share icons: <?php echo do_shortcode('[DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS]'); ?>
219
 
220
+ In some cases there might be issues to display social media sharing buttons which you uploaded as custom share icons. In this case, we provide support as part of our premium plugin: https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/
221
 
222
+ = Can I get more options for the social share icons next to posts? =
223
 
224
  Please use this plugin for that: https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/
225
 
227
 
228
  Yes, that is possible in our new social share plugin, the Premium Plugin: https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/
229
 
230
+ = Can I also display the social share icons vertically? =
 
 
231
 
232
  Yes, that is possible in our new social sharing plugin, the Premium Plugin: https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/.
233
 
235
 
236
  Use this plugin: https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/
237
 
238
+ = Can I deactivate the social share icons on mobile? =
239
 
240
+ Yes, you can disable the share icons under question 5. In our new Premium Plugin you can define different settings for mobile, see https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/. The best way to share social media! :)
241
 
242
  = How can I use two instances of the plugin on my site? =
243
 
244
+ You cannot use the same plugin twice, however you can install both the USM as well as the Premiuem plugin (https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/). We've developed the code so that there are no conflicts and you can place the share icons in one way with one plugin, and select other share icons with the other plugin and place them differently.
245
 
246
 
247
  == Screenshots ==
