pn1wp2, I’m very glad that you love OSD Social Media Sharing! Yes, there is a way to display the social icons in more than one place. Depending on your theme set up, you may have a widget area provided for you at the beginning of the content. If so, place a Text Widget in that area and put “[osd_social_media_sharing]” in the text field. You may also use that shortcode manually in any content area you wish. I hope this is helpful!

thank you for the support!

thank you!

We are not planning on moving our plugins to GitHub as of yet. We are also not planning on adding new features to OSD Subscribe unless if I feel inclined to do it myself in my free time. Instead we will only release small updates and bug fixes. As a development team, we are no longer using this plugin because it is considered bad practice to send newsletter/subscription emails from within WordPress. Instead we are using a free MailChimp account to send the emails and maintain subscriber lists. We then are integrating that with our OSD MailChimp Forms plugin to provide a more reliable way of sending messages.

With that being said. You are more than welcome to change the plugin how you see fit. If you would like to send your changes to us, I can look over them and possibly implement them. We appreciate your willingness to work as a contributor.

That is possible. I would try to disable all plugins, then only enable osd-subscribe and see if it works or not. I am not sure how or why another plugin would cause a problem, but I can see that when a user tries to subscribe, the AJAX request is getting a 500 Internal Server Error which can generally be linked back to a PHP syntax error or an error simply causing PHP to fail (which could be caused by another plugin).

If this problem continues, I would recommend switching from OSD Subscribe and instead use OSD MailChimp Forms. You can create a free MailChimp account and that will allow you many subscribers and the ability to send many emails at the same time. It is considered bad practice to have a plugin send emails itself.

I hope this information helps.

I’m not sure I understand what you’re problem is. Is your problem in the admin settings section? Or are you having problems actually subscribing an email address to a blog? If you could provide me with the browser and browser version you are using that would be helpful for me to figure out what is wrong. Also, if your site is live, a link to your site would also help me to look at the particular issue you are dealing with.

Plugin developers can choose where in the dashboard list their plugins are located. My personal opinion is that all 3rd party plugins should be in alphabetical order underneath the WordPress default settings sections. This way, anyone who is editing a site knows exactly where to look for 3rd party plugins. Again, just a matter of opinion, so our team tends to let WordPress handle our plugins position in a default manner.

I have released an update to OSD Subscribe. Now editors can view/modify the subscribers settings page. Unfortunately, it would take more work to split up the main settings page, so I have added that into a list of potential updates for the future. Enjoy!

I was incorrect with my initial statement. What all would you like your editors to be able to do? I can easily change that in the plugin and release an update today.

e11studios, we have done what we can and released an update. Most social media will redirect you to a login page if you aren’t logged in. However, if you are logged in, the updated links should work without redirects. The Pinterest social media button is particularly bad with redirects. Depending on what you’re using to rate your SEO, our changes might not affect anything because a bot might not be logged into any of the social media accounts, thus getting redirects to a login page. I hope this helps.

I’m glad that worked. I’m not sure exactly what you mean by “are the only that can see this plugin.” If you are asking if non-admins can see the subscription form, yes they can. As long as viewers have permissions to view a page, they can see the subscription form.

If you are asking whether or not non-admins can set up the options for OSD Subscribe, then that depends on your setup. Anyone with a login and plugins access should be able to edit the options for OSD Subscribe.

e11studios, You’ll have to be more specific as to what you want. As of now, you may use any icon you want and/or style the icons however you wish. As a side note, I visited your blog and noticed the stylesheet was not loading. While the stylesheet is disabled/broken, the Pinterest icon will not work because the image picker needs to be displayed (as it uses the stylesheet).

aartjannl, We have released an update. I think it make fix the problems you are having, let us know if your issues have been resolved.

aartjannl, I am sorry for the late reply. I am unable to determine what exactly your problem is. I have reviewed the link you graciously provided and everything worked for me just fine. If you can give me some more information, I will be happy to help you resolve this issue. When you say the icons are wrong and mixed up, which are you referring to:
1. The order of the icons is not what you set it as?
2. The DEFAULT icons themselves are out of order
3. You have uploaded custom icons and they are not working?

hobbiehobsons, I’m sorry that you are having an issue with OSD Subscribe. The general intent behind the unsubscription page option was to have the user create a page in WordPress, then select that page to show as the unsubscribe page. Sending subscribers to an external URL for subscription/unsubscription pages is currently not supported and can be disorienting for users. However, as mentioned before, you should be able to create a new WordPress page, style it and add whatever message you would like, and then select that page as the subscribe or unsubscribe page in the options menu. I hope this information helps you.
