    I figured it out! Typical, just after I posted.

    For anyone else trying to do it you need to edit the wpsocialite.php file (make a back up copy first).

    Search for data-via then change this

    data-via=”‘.$twitter_username.'”

    to this

    data-via=”OnlineTrainingH”

    using your own Twitter handle between the double quotes of course.

    Phil,

    Appreciate you pointing this out. Your second post with the fix, however, is not the best solution.

    You’ve made me realize that the twitter via will not work unless twitter follow is checked.

    In the wp-admin, check “twitter follow” and enter your twitter handle and save. Then you should be able to uncheck “twitter follow” and the via property will still work.

    I’m going to push a quick fix for this now so that the twitter username area is always displayed, but use the above method to fix it immediately. Also remember, its never a good idea to edit any of the WP Core or plugin files. When you update them all of your custom changes will then be overwritten.
