Genesis Simple Share & AMP

Hi, ccurtin.

The AMP plugin strips JavaScript, which Genesis Simple Share requires to display icon counts at the moment.

I’ll pass on your request to see if a future version of the plugin could include a no-JavaScript mode that would work with AMP.

If you need to use AMP with share buttons in the meantime, Social Feather (which doesn’t use JavaScript) is likely a better choice for now.

Thank you, Nick.

Social Feather semi-works (only goes vertically-not horizontally.) in AMP mode.

You’re welcome. ??

AMP only allows inline styles and a simple stylesheet, so any plugins that use additional external stylesheets may lose styling info once AMP is active. That’s probably why the layout breaks for Social Feather’s icons.

You could look into adding the styles to the AMP stylesheet (e.g. https://github.com/Automattic/amp-wp/blob/master/readme.md#custom-css ), or roll your own JavaScript-free share buttons (but with inline styles): https://www.noupe.com/wordpress/wordpress-and-social-media-static-share-buttons-for-a-faster-website-88572.html

If AMP becomes more widely adopted, you may see share plugins that offer AMP support out of the box.
