Bullets appearing next to my icons

It looks like you theme’s just doing something less common with list styling (QuickShare uses list markup and tries to hide the theme’s styling.

To fix it, just copy and past the following CSS code snippet into the custom CSS field on the QuickShare settings page.

.quickshare-container > ul > li {
list-style: none !important;
}

The logic for the fallback image looks wrong; I’ll get that fixed in the next update.

Thanks. That worked. How soon do you think you’ll send out the next update?

Update should happen sometime this week; I just want to make sure I get all outstanding issues addressed at once.

Hi Nick,

A week ago, I wrote and asked you about the fallback image that isn’t working in your fabulous QuickShare plugin. You said you’d fix it in the next update. I just updated the plugin on this site: https://www.hope-ct.org/ — and the fallback image is still showing the wrong image. Is this something that you can fix?

Sorry, I forgot to circle back to this after releasing the update. It turns out that the bugs were with where QuickShare was displayed, but not as much with the fallback image itself. The possible issue would be that it wasn’t setting the image in the Open Graph meta tags on the right pages.

It looks like it’s working now on https://www.hope-ct.org/the-waitlist-for-ferry-crossing-has-reopened-applications-are-available/, is it still broken on another post?

Hi Nick… I just tried it on the link you included above. It’s showing the donate image. I had set the fallback image to be the logo… a yellow sun and a green swash underneath. So… sadly. it’s not working. I really like your sharing plugin better than any other sharing plugin I’ve ever used. Do you think you can fix this?

Hmm, I see it now, Facebook is picking up both the donate button and the logo (and gives the user a choice, defaulting to the button).

The code is telling it to use https://www.hope-ct.org/site/wp-content/uploads/2013/05/hope-partnership-logo.png, and that’s what Google+ uses. But for some reason Facebook isn’t obeying that. In fact, looking at the placement of both images, even if QuickShare didn’t explicitly specify the logo as the image, the Facebook parser should pick up the logo because of its placement in the header over the donate button’s placement in the sidebar.

It looks like even on a post that has an image, like https://www.hope-ct.org/hope-president-tony-lyons-and-vp-cal-price-appear-on-ct-style/, Facebook picks up both the post’s image (which QuickShare specifies as the canonical image for the page) and that donate button (defaulting to the image this time).

I suspect a bug in Facebook’s parser, since they use the same code as Google+, which is working as intended. It may have cached the donate button at some point and not cleared or something too. The only thing that you might be able to do to fix it is to re-upload the donate button and switch to the new one in your sidebar. The change in image url could help clear out that bug in Facebook’s parser cache.

The good news is that it looks like your site is doing everything correctly in its code, so any issues are with the external services and out of our control. So hopefully, things will get fixed on the other end at some point.

Hi There, I also LOVE your plugin but the fix for the bullets provided above is not working with my theme. Can you help? I have to launch something today and I would prefer to have your plugin rather than another. (I know the timing is bad – unless you are at your computer right now ; )

.thd-postcontent .quickshare-container ul>li {
background-image: none;
}

Should do the trick. By the way, I noticed that “Design” is misspelled in your copyright notice.

Thanks Nick. Gah! I always do that when in a rush — worst word ever to misspell! thanks again… ??
