Share buttons not showing up, also html error

  • I think this happened after the a recent update to the plugin.

    The share buttons no longer show up under the posts.

    I’ve checked the source code with the W3C validator for HTML5 – the html lists the buttons but the html for the email button has an error; the problem is with the phrase ‘mailto:?Subject=’, presumably there should be a space between them?

    I have a backup copy of the previous version so I could try rolling back, but I’d prefer a fix if possible.

    I rolled back to the previous version and I still have both problems.

    I had never previously validated the html on pages with the share buttons so perhaps the html problem has been there a long time? The error message is exactly the same.

    As for not showing up, I wonder if there’s a conflict with some other recent change that I made… any suggestions what it might be?

    There was another HTML5 error: the class attribute had been called twice for the linkedin sharelink. To solve this I added a comma between the relevant classes in ssba.php.

    // linkedin share link
    $htmlShareButtons = '<a class="ssba_linkedin_share, ssba_share_link"

    Still unable to solve the mailto error.

    Sorry, yet another post…

    There are another three HTML5 validation errors for ‘No space between attributes’ for the links to Twitter, Linkedin and Google. The missing space is in the section:

    target="_blank"rel="nofollow"

    For anyone looking at this in future, I corrected the missing space error by typing a space in the ‘rel’ link in ssba.php.

    ‘ rel=”nofollow”‘

    The other sharing services used a space elsewhere in the format ‘%20’ , but this caused an error for me.

    So the last remaining validation error is the mailto issue. I’ll make a new post as this one has not received any input from the developer.
