FAQ

Can I choose which pages to display social buttons?

Yes, in the options page you can choose which pages to display social buttons (pages, posts, media and any custom post type).

The shortcode [cresta-social-share] doesn’t work in a widget

Most likely the theme you’re using has not enabled the use of shortcodes within text-widget.
Try to add this snippet in your theme’s functions.php:

add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

Can I hide the floating social buttons and only show the buttons in content?

Yes, the floating social buttons can be hidden (from version 1.1).

The plugin does not appear in home page

The plugin does not appear in home page if the home shows the latest posts. Indeed, if the home page shows a static page, the plugin works correctly. (the option “show on: pages” must be enabled).

Why social buttons are not shown in the posts list? (tags page, categories page, home feeds, etc …)

Because the plugin is designed to work exclusively on individual pages (single post, single page, single custom post type)

Reviews

Outstanding!

Incredibly easy to setup. I am using ‘Cresta Social Share Counter’ on both my websites. Thanks for creating this useful plugin.

Foolish plugin, It destroyed my website value

shri9119 April 22, 2019 1 reply

a week ago my article shows 2K shares & after plugin update suddenly it start showing only 200 shares. One article which got 500+ shares now showing only 1 share. This plugin has completely destroyed value of my website. Completely foolish plugin. If they are doing this to earn money then this is malpractice. WordPress must remove such plugin from list.

ASSISTENZA OTTIMA
