Share Count on Home Page

  • I’ve manually added the shortcode
    <?php echo do_shortcode('[ssba]'); ?>
    to my home page template, which show icons correctly, but is not showing counters.

    Is it possible to show counters for the blog posts on the home page?

    Also, I noticed that the share buttons on each home page post link to the home page of the site, rather than the unique blog post article name and link. Is there any way to update this to link to the post, not the home page?

    Hi. Just wondering if you had any insight on linking to the blog post URL on the Home Page, including counter if possible? I might purchase a plugin instead, but wanted to check and see if there is any fix to this? Thanks.

    Hi @graphicbear! Did you manage your goal eventually? Thanks

    No, I purchased the Easy Social Share Buttons plugin instead, which works nicely and had good support for me.

    In version 4.8 replace existing line 717 of simple-share-adder.php

    $urlCurrentPage = (isset($atts[‘url’]) ? $atts[‘url’] : ssba_current_url());

    with

    if (get_permalink($post->ID) != “”) {
    $urlCurrentPage = get_permalink($post->ID);
    } else {
    $urlCurrentPage = (isset($atts[‘url’]) ? $atts[‘url’] : ssba_current_url());
    }
