    Hi, I see that the Sharebar changes its aspect/behaviour when on small screens, changing from social icons to a single minimised button.
    While the idea is nice, I would rather have the option to enable that behaviour, since it’s not much what I especially want.

    Is that possible pls, or di i miss one setting ?
    Regards.

    Hi @tdechangy,

    There is no inbuilt option. But you can paste this simple CSS in WP Socializer -> Settings -> Additional CSS rules box

    .wpsr-mow {
        display: none;
    }

    Thanks,
    Aakash

    Thanks for the easy suggestion, but I think that it doesn’t answer the issue. th fact is that this “minimised icon” is displayed on screen sizes that dont meet mobile sizes (not totally sure of this!).

    This behaviour should have two options :
    – activate it or not
    – set screen size to enable it.

    By the way, screen sizes are not mentioned for mobile setups, this should be added, and preferably having a setting to input this personally.
    But I think that you use a mobile device identification way instead of screen size. This can seem smart at first but it also potentially conflicts with the actual subject of this topic.
    I totally understand the initial idea, BUT when developing a site, it’s hard to know how to use CSS to add conditional rules since it’s done on PC only. I don’t know if there is any way to simulate mobile devices in PC browsers.

    This last point is the most important point where it makes it hard to use your plugin, which is awesome by the way !

    Please bring us a neat solution to develop responsive CSS & JS based on those arguments.
    As you heard I prefer screen-size but any PC based alternative could be welcome if any.

    + One limitation I’ve seen also is that using the “more shares” button opens a small popup beneath it, but it’s a bit clunky, so I would suggest opening it in a full-screen popup as done by most similar solutions.

    Waiting for your convenient solution(s).
    Best regards and thanks for the great job.

    Thanks for your vaulable suggestion.

    Regarding question #1 where you would like to hide/minimize the sharebar after a certain screen size, an option is already there. Not sure if that meets your requirement. You need to specify the pixels below which the sharebar should minimize automatically.

    To hide the minimized sharebar itself as whole there is no option. The above CSS will hide when sharebar is in minimized state.

    #2 regarding the complexity of the plugin. I agree. I have tried other social media plugins and I find them to the point and not customizable on everything and not feature rich. I tried my best to balance features, customizability, UI. There is always scope to improve. Anyways many people say the same on being feature rich but difficult to start with. I’m having plans to simplify the plugin in the coming months. Hopefully that will make things clear.

    #3 regarding I agree it becomes not usable at certain modes. But it works good when used in horizontal mode. I’ll add this to the todo list and fix it during the simplification process.

    Thanks,
    Aakash

    All right, I’ve seen that screen size setting today but was not totally clear what it did.. but that was what I wanted ??

    Sadly I see that you implemented two behaviours where the second adds a white background etc on floating sharebars for small screens. This should again be de-activable pls !

    + One more suggestion is to add sticky mobile par on top + animation.

    Waiting for your next releases.

    Cheers.

    Let me add one suggestion too :

    Changing the icon for “more share options” button, to a “+” icon. I find this more meaningful, especially when adding pdf & print options.

    Thanks for your nice work !
