Cyril – thanks for bringing this to our attention, and for providing a fix. I’ll see if we can’t get this implemented for the next release!

Have a great day,
Mike

gloriagoldrea – almost!?!?!? Haha, thank you for your kind words regarding the plugin ??

Cyril – thank you for replying to Andrea, and for your feedback as well. I can’t make any promises regarding feature implementation, but I promise we’ll keep working on it until it is the “perfect plugin.” ??

Hi wilkod,
Please feel free to uncomment the relevant lines to activate bit.ly link shortening. This was added awhile ago as a “let’s try this out,” and it works pretty well, just we never got around to including it as a feature.

But, I’ll check with the powers that be to see if that is something we should make standard.

Thanks for your feedback,
Mike

Here’s the code that gets added into the footer through the WordPress filter:

<div id="trackable_credits" style="text-align: center;">Social links powered by <a href="https://www.ecreativeim.com/trackable-social-share-icons" target="_blank">Trackable Sharing</a></div>

The actual code which is called by the footer hook is on line 628 (v1.2):

// Footer
	function _trackableshare_footer() {
		if(get_option('_trackablesharebutton_footer') == '1') {
			echo '<div id="trackable_credits" style="text-align: center; color: '.get_option("_trackablesharebutton_textcolor").';">Social links powered by <a href="https://www.ecreativeim.com/trackable-social-share-icons" target="_blank" style="color:'.get_option("_trackablesharebutton_linkcolor").';">Ecreative Internet Marketing</a></div>';
		echo $textColor;
		}
	}

The footer hook call is on line 35:
add_filter('wp_footer', '_trackableshare_footer');

If your cache plugin creates html files I’d check those as that’s probably where it’s being stored (and unfortunately, there could be several files if it creates a new file for each page).

But feel free to email me ([email protected]) with your site and I’ll gladly take a look. But if the plugin isn’t there anymore, I’m pretty sure it’s something with the cache plugin.

Hope that helps,
Mike

It does default to “yes” but when you turn it off or uninstall it, the link remains.

…the link remaining after uninstall with no way to remove it…

iamsaneasyou – if I’m understanding correctly, you have uninstalled the plugin, but the link remained on your site? That definitely shouldn’t have happened, as the link is setup through a filter which is called by the WordPress Plugin Manager.

If that’s the case, I completely understand your frustration.

Do you by chance use a plugin for caching? If you do, I’m wondering if that’s not why the link is still there, as the plugin shouldn’t modify any of your files (again it’s a simple filter call).

I’m more than happy to work with you to figure out what’s going on. Just misunderstood what issue you were having earlier.

Absolutely understood ?? I really do appreciate how you guys handled it, and like I said, now we can start working on a solution ??

Many thanks!

Ipstenu and Cubecolor,
Thank you for clarifying the issue. We will work on getting this updated.

But I have to say, it’s a little funny. 33,000 downloads, and two complaints about the link (both which are inaccurate). It’s kind of tough to fix an issue that doesn’t exist, and it would have been far more constructive if someone could have pointed out the policy issue initially instead of throwing mud on the walls and attacking a company that generously developed this plugin for everyone’s free use.

Just a professional courtesy from on WP user to another.

Thanks,
Mike

Hey SATEAT,
Under “Advanced” try adding the following code to the Button CSS:

.trackable_sharing { margin-top: 30px; height: 30px; }
.trackable_sharing div { position: absolute; margin-top: -60px !important; }

You might have to play with the numbers if you have larger or smaller buttons, but this should give you an idea.

Hope this helps,
Mike

Hey SATEAT,
If you’d like, you can manually add Pinterest using the “Advanced Settings.”

Under additional buttons try adding the following:
pinterest.png|https://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=%url%&description=%title%|400x400

You can upload the pinterest.png button as a custom button image – although you may need to switch to the custom style if you aren’t using it already (and then upload the images you want for the other buttons).

Hope that helps,
Mike

Hi soula,
The plugin comes with the ability to add your own custom CSS to modify the layout of the icons (under Advanced). Each icon is wrapped in an anchor <a> tag within a div with a class of trackable_sharing.

You should be able to do something like this to control spacing (adjust the pixels as necessary):
.trackable_sharing a { float: left; margin-right: 1px; }

Hope that helps!

Mike :o)

You might want to check your server or check with your host. I ran a quick check from command line and your site is indeed returning an internal server error (500) on port 80.

Unfortunately, there’s nothing we can do as it is not a problem with the plugin. Regardless of which service you use, since this is controlled by Facebook, it will most likely not work until your server has been updated. Once the update is complete on your end, you should see this feature working, as well as having your post title, image, and description show up instead of just the URL when someone clicks on the blue “Facebook” icon (on a side note, very cool icons!).

I hope this helps, and I wish there was more we could do to help you resolve this issue.

Best of luck,
Mike
