I want it in the side-bar of the post when you are adding/ modeling the post content … not adding it to the site in the form of a widget.

Modifying the source? of course not! This is defined when you declare a custom post type in functions.php or a custom plugin using the register_post_type() function and passing the ‘supports’ array which defines what kinds of components are passed.

e.g. ‘supports’ => array( ‘title’, ‘editor’, ‘thumbnail’ )

This example above enables the thumbnail, editor and title features for the post. I just need to know what the handle is for your share buttons so I can also pass this to enable the share buttons to show up in the side bar.

Well I don’t think that’s the answer specifically. I just need to know what the hook is so that we can manage it either in or out for these posts or if we are able to see the widget in the sidebar as for normal posts, this would be even better. Can you tell me what the keyword would be so I can add it to the ‘supports’ array when calling the custom post type please?

Here is the example for post type ‘customer’: https://visualfoundry.net/customer/
Every entry in the archive-customer.php page shows up with the share buttons … grrrr

For clarification. On point 1 above, they show up on the archive page whenever we call the content e.g. apply_filters(‘the_content’, $content)

It seems that the share buttons are ‘on’ be default for every post type. We have to get this turned off because it keeps showing up all over the place.

Well there’s a few problems:
1. They are showing up on the archive page. Doesn’t make sense. They should only be visible on the single page of the post
2. what about custom post types? How do I add the options box on the sidebar? I think I need to add a value to the ‘supports’ array within the register_post_type arguments. Can you advise what it is please?

In fact it’s turning up in all kinds of unexpected places whenever a post is called. How can I turn it off and only have it appear when EXPLICITLY called. This is EXCEEDINGLY annoying.

Bingo! The files were missing. I copied the files from:

https://durham.porchcommunities.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/wysija/

to:

https://durham.porchcommunities.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/wysija/

and reset the permissions. All is working now perfectly. Thank you for your patience!

Here is a link from one of the child sites that the icons work properly:

https://durham.porchcommunities.org/?wysija-page=1&controller=email&action=view&email_id=1&wysijap=subscriptions&user_id=25

Here is a link to the one at the site which doesn’t work:

https://chapelhill.porchcommunities.org/?wysija-page=1&controller=email&action=view&email_id=6&wysijap=subscriptions&user_id=2

I found one table entry which had the incorrect URL so I replaced these errors with the correct URL however no difference. I tested with the default ‘theme’ and the issue persists.

That would be the logical location for this issue however I still think it is a URL issue. Here’s why:

This site is a WP MU site with three ‘sites’ in it:

– The primary site
– Two child sites

Both child sites use exactly the same child theme and all the same network activated plugins. However the newer of those child sites works just fine. The older of those child sites exhibits this issue.

The only difference is that the main URL was changed after the older child was created but before the new child site was. I found some bugs with Mailpoet which required me to access the mySQL records directly to force the changes because the changes wouldn’t stick through the wp admin menu. Specifically to do with the sender and reply-to email address. I wonder if this is also where the issue is occurring for the URL to the icons?

Yes of course. Here they are:

When using Mailpoet and trying to place the social block into a newsletter, it pops the dialog asking for the social URLs however it doesn’t show anything in the preview window (I assume it is supposed to) and once you click to close the dialog, the block never appears in the editing window. It’s like you never added it.

Thanks synth3tk! This worked for me just now too. Oddly, I’m running the Genesis framework on a WPMU site. The slider shows on one of the sites but not the other. The only difference is an alternate child theme used. Adding the call into the child theme’s function.php resolved it. Thanks!

Thanks Jason! I plan to however I need to get my web sites off of GoDaddy since their policy firmly locks port 443 closed. I tried Openshift however because they don’t provide a fixed IP address, I cannot lock a naked domain (A Record) to it. The best I can do is use a CName of ‘www’ to put to it. Not good.

I’m now trialling Amazing Web Services which are astonishing good and provide total versatility to manage everything including cloud performance right down to port control. Further I get an IP Address for each ‘instance’. I’m just stuck on trying to get SSL working but once that’s done, I can then get back to using your plugin. Thanks Jason!

Thanks Jason. I’m checking it out presently. Remarkably they aren’t blocking any of the ports!!
