(also, this solution only works if you dont want to use the ‘floating’ function of the floating social bar as it removes the floating part completely.)
I had this same problem.
I had to edit the code to get the results i wanted.
i opened the following file:
wp-content/plugins/floating-social-bar/js/fsb.js
then i deleted all of the following code:
// Declare variables.
var fsb_top = $('.fsb-social-bar').offset().top;
// Attach to the scroll event to determine when to load items.
$(window).scroll(function(){
var y = $(this).scrollTop(),
maxY = $('#respond, #disqus_thread, #livefyre, .fb-comments, #comment-form, .idc-new, #comment-respond, #comments, #comment, #footer, .site-footer'), // Attempt to target as many comment systems as possible.
nofo = false; // Flag if no div is found in the maxY var.
// If for some reason one of our divs does not exist or it's height is zero, use the parent div as a scroll helper and set the nofo var to true.
if ( $(maxY).eq(0).length === 0 || 0 === $(maxY).height() ) {
maxY = $('.fsb-social-bar').parent();
nofo = true;
}
// If we should not float or the height of the maxY var is equal to zero, don't do anything.
if ( $('.fsb-social-bar').hasClass('fsb-no-float') || 0 === $(maxY).height() )
return;
// Get the offset of our respond helper.
var offset = ( true === nofo ) ? fsb_top + $(maxY).height() + 50 : $(maxY).eq(0).offset().top;
// If we are below the bar but above comments, set a fixed position.
if ( y > fsb_top && y < offset )
$('.fsb-social-bar').addClass('fsb-fixed').css('width', $('.fsb-social-bar').parent().width()).fadeIn();
else if ( y >= offset )
$('.fsb-social-bar').removeClass('fsb-fixed').css('display', 'none');
else if ( y < fsb_top )
$('.fsb-social-bar').show().removeClass('fsb-fixed');
});
// Open up the social services in a popup window.
