]]>Hi,
since last revision of WP, the Social Links icons are empty (with an square on it).
Is it normal ?
Hope to read you soon …
]]>I wanted to make you aware that The Social Links plugin was using 88.5mb of PHP memory on our site. It caused our site to stop loading, instead outputting the memory error to the screen. Our host kept bumping up our memory as far as 128mb and we were still having problems. We’ve got multi-site enabled with 5 sites set up and the plugin was network activated.
I used the P3 (Plugin Performance Profiler) to see what was using the most resources and The Social Links plugin was consuming 73%. I then used the Memory Viewer plugin to see how much memory was being consumed at each stage of the page loading process, and between the time the theme loaded and plugins loaded it jumped from 30.67mb to 121.58mb. Once I network deactivated The Social Links, it went from 30.55mb to just 33.08mb. I can send you screenshots from the Memory Viewer plugin and forward you the email report that the P3 plugin sent me if you need confirmation.
I’m not sure if this is some problem unique to Multi-Site or what, but wanted you to be aware of it. Feel free to contact me for more information on the WordPress configuration we’re using.
]]>I purchased the Social Links extension pack for $5, because it seemed like an easy way to add SoundCloud and Spotify icons to my music website. Now that I have the pack, however, I don’t know what to do with it. Logically, it seems like I need to insert some of the code from the-social-links-pack.php into the already-installed plugin, but as a non-developer I don’t know which code or where. Has anyone ever come across a set of rudimentary, step-by-step instructions for how to handle what is probably a simple set of tasks?
]]>Widget render fails w/ esc_html calls.
New version of widget esc_html handling fails to render html.
Removing the newly added esc_html calls from before and after widget fixes the problem:
includes/class-widget.php
echo esc_html( $args[‘before_widget’] );
echo esc_html( $args[‘after_widget’] );
Correct:
<section id=”the_social_links-2″ class=”widget widget_the_social_links”><div class=”widget-wrap”>
Incorrect:
<section id="the_social_links-2" class="widget widget_the_social_links"><div class="widget-wrap">
Unclear why one needs to escape html for widget wrappers.
]]>Hello,
I just updated the last version of the Social Links (1.2.6)
After that update, the widget administration doesn’t work anymore.
Using php v5.59, debug.log shows:
[11-Aug-2016 19:21:59 UTC] PHP Strict Standards: Non-static method TheSocialLinksFrontend::display() should not be called statically in /var/www/html/wp-content/plugins/the-social-links/includes/class-frontend.php on line 81
Using php v7.08, debug.log strict message not seen.
Using php v5.59, changing line 81:
public static function shortcode
to:
public function shortcode
removes debug.log message and shortcode appears to still function.
]]>Is there a way to disable this on specified posts and pages? If I were to insert the template tag I could use an if statement, but it looks like it’s hooked into a content filter.
]]>I purchased the extra pack for this plugin to add the WeChat button. However, for WeChat, there is no place to add the QR Code for the account. There is only an URL field,, however, WeChat doesn’t have a open web endpoint. The users can only follow an account by scanning the QR code on their phone.
Did I miss anything? Or the plugin was not designed correctly for WeChat?
]]>It would be fantastic to have the possibility of adding a Tumblr link as well.
Thanks for this great plugin!
]]>The recent update to Social Links 0.9.0.1 broke my website.
It took me a couple days to figure out the problem.
But it is straight forward. Social Links = blank wordpress site.
I am running multisite. Perhaps your plugin is not compatible with multisite.
For now I’ve just deleted the social links plugin.
If you figure it out and fix it later on let me know. I previously liked that plugin.
Oh, and by the way – the tech support of my webhost told me what might be the reason why. Way too much memory consumption.
]]>The widget currently prints out a lot of extra tabs (white space). This is because on line 39 of includes\widget.php the code loops over all of the 43 social media items, outputting tabs regardless if it is set or not.
As a quick fix I have just removed the tabs from the code, but I know this looks ugly. ?? Better ways to get round this would be to either:
$social_networks global firstNot a massive issue, but 1000 unnecessary extra characters does add up.
]]>Hi All,
Love the plugin, got a slight layout issue, if you look at https://www.blegan.co.uk/news you will see the widget on the left hand side, looks ok but i need to put some space below the social links icons, anyone know how to do this?
Thanks
Andy
I know a new version is coming… but I just wanted to put a vote in for Bandcamp:
https://bandcamp.com/developer
Thanks for a great plugin!
]]>I am surprised that you have some of the more fringe networks but do not have these two. It looks like you haven’t updated the plugin in a while. Do you have a repository on GitHub where I could just fork in these additions myself?
]]>Will you be adding Pinterest to the list? It’s becoming extremely popular, I was suprised it wasn’t on the list given that you’ve got nearly 50 others.
Thanks,
Giuseppe
Hey guys,
There’s supposed to be a shortcode to use this plugin, but I don’t know what it is… can someone please give an example?
Much appreciate!

]]>The plug in is broken. The support sites do not help and they do not reply to questions. I would not recommend this to anyone. Here is my original support question:
While using the Social Links plug-in on my website the links connected to the icons are going to the wrong website.
i.e.
If my twitter link is:
twitter.com/myusername
and my website is:
https://www.mywebsite.com
Then when I click on the twitter icon it will create this link which does not work: https://www.mywebsite.com/twitter.com/myusername
How can this be fixed?
]]>I find I do not need this plug-in now. How do I remove it?
I have already tried deleted the widget under “widgets,” and deactivating it and deleting under “plugins.” It has disappeared from everywhere in my dashboard, but I still see it on my blog.
I have emptied my cache, and I have never had so much trouble getting rid of something.
