+ = Question 6: Any other wishes for your main social share buttons? =
161
 
162
+ Here you get many other options to tailor the social share buttons to your needs. For example, you can:
163
 
164
+ * Define the order of your social share buttons
165
+ * Define the size of your social share buttons
166
+ * Define the space between the social share buttons
167
+ * Define the alignment of social share buttons (with respect to each other)
168
+ * Decide how many social share buttons should be displayed per row
169
+ * Pick a language for your visit us / like / follow / social share buttons
170
+ * Decide to open windows in a new window (or same window) after user clicked on the social share buttons
171
+ * Make the social share buttons stick (if placed via widget, so still visible if user scrolls down)
172
+ * Disable float social share buttons on mobile devices
173
+ * Disable auto-scaling feature of the social share buttons for mobile devices (“viewport” meta tag)
174
+ * Give your social share buttons mouse-over texts
175
 
176
 
177
  = Question 7: Do you want to display a pop up? =
178
 
179
+ A pop-up can make it more likely that your visitors share, follow or like your site (or connect with you). Therefore you can decide to show such a popup containing your social share buttons, and define…
180
  * *The layout of the pop up*, i.e. displayed text, font type, font style, font color, background color, border color, border thickness, and border shadow.
181
  * *Where the pop-up shall be shown*, i.e. on ever page, on blog posts only, or on selected pages only.
182
  * *When the pop-up shall be shown*, i.e. once every X seconds after the user arrived on the site, or every time the user scrolls to the end of the page.
193
 
194
  The free plugin already provides tons of options for social sharing (as outlined above). In our Premium Plugin, even more is possible. Some examples for additional features in the Premium Plugin:
195
 
196
+ * More social share buttons (the icon pack includes an Instagram button, Snapchat button, Yummly button, Print button, Whatsapp button, Yelp button, Soundcloud button, Skype button, Flickr button, Share button, Blogger button, Digg button, Reddit button, Vimeo button, Tumblr button, Xing button, vk button, Telegram button, Amazon button, Spotify button and many more badge, see list above)
197
+ * More (default) design styles for your social share icons
198
+ * Themed design styles for your social share buttons (e.g. if you have a site about cats, you can pick from cat-themed buttons etc.)
199
  * Better sharing & following features (tailored tweet texts, allow people to follow you directly on your page etc.)
200
+ * Place the social share icons on specific pages
201
  * Optimized for mobile sharing and buton display
202
  * More functions for email icon to connect with you
203
  * More lightbox / popup options (e.g. limit how often the popup is shown to the same user)

222
+ = I face fundamental issues (the plugin doesn't load, social share buttons don't show etc.) =
223
 
224
  Please ensure that:
225
 
229
 
230
  If you're not familiar with those please contact your hosting company or server admin.
231
 
232
+ Please check if you have browser extensions activated which may conflict with the social share buttons. Known culprits include:
233
 
234
  - Open SEO Stats (Formerly: PageRank Status) in Chrome
235
  - Adblock Plus in Chrome
254
 
255
  The plugin requires CURL for the social share counts and other features.
256
 
257
+ = Social share buttons don't show =
258
 
259
  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 sharing buttons especially easy and also allows you to place sticky buttons on your site, define the placement of the share buttons by margins and many other options, see https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/.
260
 
261
+ If only some social share buttons 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.
262
 
263
  If the social share buttons still don't show then there's an issue with your template. Please contact the creator of your template for that.
264
 
265
+ If you are referring to specific social share buttons not showing in the plugin itself (e.g. you're looking for a Whatsapp icon, but it doesnt exist) please note that our Premium Plugin has many more social media share buttons, see https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/
266
 
267
  = Twitter share counters are not displaying (anymore) =
268
 
276
 
277
  Please ensure you've entered the 'http://' at the beginning of the url (for *all* social networks). If the share buttons 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 share buttons.
278
 
279
+ = I cannot upload social custom buttons =
280
 
281
  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 buttons for a social media buttons plugin which are not included yet).
282
 
284
 
285
  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.
286
 
287
+ = Aligning the social share buttons (centered, left- or right-aligned) doesn't work =
288
 
289
  The alignment options under question 5 align the sharing 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 button alignments (e.g. within a widget, within shortcode etc.).
290
 
306
 
307
  You can crosscheck which image Facebook will share by entring your url on https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/.
308
 
309
+ = The pop-up shows although I only gave my social share button one share function =
310
 
311
  The pop-up only disappears if you've given your sharing buttons only a 'visit us'-function, otherwise (e.g. if you gave it 'Like' (on facebook) or 'Tweet' functions or sharing functions) a pop-up is still needed because the 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.
312
 
313
+ = I selected to display the social sharing buttons after every post but they don't show =
314
 
315
+ The social sharing buttons 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 share buttons on your homepage.
316
 
317
  = Plugin decreases my site's loading speed =
318
 
320
 
321
  If you still experience loading speed issues, please note that:
322
 
323
+ - The more social sharing bottons 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 sharing buttons only 'Visit us'-functionality rather than sharing functionalities.
324
 
325
  - We've programed it so that the code for the social media buttons 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 buttons take a bit longer to load.
326
 
378
 
379
  In some cases there might be issues to display social media sharing buttons which you uploaded as custom buttons. In this case, we provide support as part of our premium plugin: https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/
380
 
381
+ = Can I get more options for the social share buttons next to posts? =
382
 
383
  Please use this plugin for that: https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/. This allows you to place more share buttons (e.g. including Linkedin) as well as giving you more configuration options.
384
 
396
 
397
  Use this plugin: https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/
398
 
399
+ = Can I deactivate the social sharing buttons on mobile? =
400
 
401
  Yes, there's an option for that under question 5. In our new Premium Plugin you can define different settings of the share buttons for mobile, see https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/. The best way to share social media! :)
402
 
406
 
407
  = Where can I find icons for more social media platforms? =
408
 
409
+ The premium plugin offrs many more social buttons from other social media platforms such as Snapchat, Whattsapp, Yelp, Sound cloud and many others. It's the best socialsharing plugin on the market :) Check it out at https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/
