Thanks for the quick response. Is there any possibility of adding that ability in a future release?

It was in fact the cache. And clearing the cash did fix the problem. Not sure why I didn’t do that after updating, but I will from now on.

Thank you.

The site is themed with Oxygen.

Andrés:

Enhanced tracking protection was turned off for the site, as indicated the slash through the shield in the address bar (see screen shot referenced in the initial post.) I tried disabling all tracking protection with no change.

Two points, if I may.

1. If you re-read my initial message, the error reported by the browser is a failure to load the sharethis javascript in the header of the page. Without the javascript are the any trackers to block?

2. Requiring visitors to disable tracking protection to see the social share buttons, or any content for that matter, is a guaranteed way to drive visitors away from a site. Which means the site would potentially sacrifice social shares from the almost 10% of visitors using Firefox.

Best, Ed

Long story short, the problem was Firefox Developer Edition Version 72.02. I’m running Ubuntu, not sure if it would do the same on Windows or not. By the time I switched to Chrome, which fixed everything, I had already created a new account with ShareThis and pulled out most of what little hair I have left trying to figure out why I couldn’t get it to verify that the js file was in the header.

All is working now. Thank you for your quick response and suggestions.

@marksjo: It does the same thing with the standard Twenty Twenty theme. I’m going to try disabling plugins later this afternoon – U.S. East Coast.

Sorry, the ASCII Art diagram did fit properly. ??

Any type of meta data (or anything else, for that matter) can be turned off with CSS.

1. Edit the theme that displays post(s) in question.
2. Edit the Void Post Grid widget.
3. Click on the Advanced tab.
4. At the bottom click on CSS.
5. Add the CSS below, setting the class or classes for the meta you want to hide.
6. In the example below the updated on date, the links to any tags associated with the post and the link to enter a comment are hidden.

Hope this helps

/*
* Void post grid widgtet
*
* To remove any part of the meta data,
* add the class that corresponds to the item(s)
* to the following rule.
*
* Classes are:
* posted-on – the date the post was created.
* updated- on – the date of the last update.
* byline – post author
* cat-links – links to archive pages for individual
* categories.
* tags-link – links to archive pages for individual
* tags.
* comments-link – “Leave a Comment” link.
*/

.updated-on, .tags-links, .comments-link
{
display: none!important;
}

Thanks for the quick response.

A Metro grid layouts let you mix grid element heights or or widths across rows or columns. Think Masonry but more like mosaic.

Editing php.ini fixed it.

Off topic: any plans to add the ability to place a signup form in a post/page via a short code?

Thanks for the quick response and have a happy, healthy and prosperous new year.

Hi Brandon

Support got back to me this morning with instructions on removing a property. Removing the property, and resetting the property id’s in the plugin on the various site seems to have cleared most, if not all, of the erratic problems. I’ll give it a couple of hours for CDN to catch up with the live site to make sure all is well.

Thanks for everything,
Ed

Hi Brandon

Adding

.sharethis-inline-share-buttons {
clear: both;
}

to the css file fixed the two line problem. But I’m continuing to have problems with the plugin.

All of a sudden the configured buttons were replaced by the default buttons (FB, Twitter, Pinterest, Email and Share and for some strange reason the custom css I use to size them isn’t having any effect.

It may have something to do with the fact that there are three properties associated with the account and two of them have the same name. The properties are: march-against-monsanto.com (the live site) and mam.geekcandy.org (the test site and the one that’s duplicated.) All are configured exactly the same. There doesn’t seem to be any way to remove the duplicate named property.

If I can’t resolve this issue I’ll need to deactivate the plugin and go back to adding the div’s where needed.

Share counts are now showing on both the landing and post pages with the plugin. However another issue has shown up. The inline buttons on post pages, mostly at the bottom, are sometimes being forced to two lines due to the width of a displayed ad.

See the image at https://www.dropbox.com/s/w12pq63tlgt6bay/share-buttons.png?dl=0.

Hi Brandon.

The problem I’m seeing with the new plugin is that landing page displays the entire post content as the excerpt. I traced the problem down to the plugin. The set_inline_excerpt method of the Minute_Control class returns $content (undefined) instead of $excerpt. Making the change on my staging server fixed the problem. Since this a different domain than the live site, there are no share counts to display, so I can’t verify that.

I’m planning on making the change on the live server either on Sunday or Monday, depending on site traffic and my schedule.

Have a great weekend,
Ed

Thanks Brandon. Hopefully that will solve the problem. Once I get that working I’ll try and figure out why the plugin and theme aren’t playing nice.

Again. thanks for the quick responses.
