A quick update on my page above. The top examples are using shortcode as follows (one example)

[WPP order_by="views" range="weekly" stats_comments="0" limit=5 post_type=post thumbnail_width=80 thumbnail_height=80 excerpt_length=300 header="hot this week"]

I’ve got the excerpt showing on the example beneath by adding post_html to the end as follows (unstyled)

[WPP order_by="views" range="weekly" stats_comments="0" limit=5 post_type=post thumbnail_width=80 thumbnail_height=80 excerpt_length=300 header="hot this week" post_html="<li>{thumb} <a href='{url}'>{text_title}</a> {summary}</li>"]

Hello, I still haven’t been able to resolve this. Is anyone able to offer any guidance at all? Would be great if the function could be edited to work with ‘the_terms’ rather than ‘the_category’? Any support appreciated.

Hi Fabian, I can see this plug in was recently updated. Did this issue get resolved? I have loaded and can’t see any broken plugins but I may have missed some functionality?

Hi I’ve just installed the plug in and I think perhaps it doesn’t work with any tags where the slug has special characcters. It doesn’t seem to pick up any of my 2 word tags where the slug contains a ‘-‘ character. Can this be corrected?

Thank you very much for the clarifications. Much appreciated. Will take a quick look at the free version and go from there once it’s up and working.

I don’t use this plug in but coincidentally I created a short code for the Pinterest Button and think it’s the Pinterest JS that inserts this iFrame. The basic Pinterest code did the same to me. Your solution hides the iFrame nicely thank you. I suspect it’s a ‘conflict’ between WordPress and Pinterest.

I’ve added an additional Pinterest Button images via shortcode which is only visible on devices with lower resolution screens (targeted a containing span via CSS3 media queries). So laptop shows this plugin. iPad / iPhone shows the standard pin. Is a work around rather than a solution.

I posted earlier in the thread and ended up with a workaround but actually I’m quite happy with it. If you take a look at this post as an example https://skipology.com/project/iphoneography-foggy-lincoln-west-common/ (feel free to unlike afterwards if you want to test). I created a shortcode which I can insert into posts where I like (normally after the first main image) it has the 3 main like buttons all working as they should. I use Jetpack at the bottom of the post just with share rather than like functionality and I use Pinterest on key images via a standalone plugin. Think this works quite well (for me at least).

I downloaded this today and would also love to get it working on iPad even if viewable all the time. So far I haven’t managed it but if you are prepared to edit the css file you can get it viewable all the time on laptop. Take a back up of the file first and if you are happy go ahead and edit the line in /wp-content/plugins/pinterest-pin-it-button-for-images/ppibfi_pinterest.css in the section .pibfi_pinterest .xc_pin {…

edit ‘opacity: 0;’ to ‘opacity: 1;’ or anywhere in between. I have set it at 0.2. Hope that helps. I can’t guarantee no side-effects but haven’t seen anything yet.

Any ideas how to get this working on iPad would be great because I am targeting mobile browsing mainly.

I have the same problem actually. Mine is IIS7 via a shared host with access to Control Panel via Plesk plus FTP uploads but don’t have direct access to wider server areas.

Hi Jeremy thank you ??

I guess it’s related to either CSS hiding the comments box through overflow:hidden or some other css issue so that the comments box is popping up but is being hidden by the size of containing elements. (Or old code being used).

I did find one plug-in that I got working – it’s on a blog I’m actually moving away from which is at https://www.phoneographer.org and the plug-in is called ‘social sharing toolkit’… – take a look at the posts – hopefully you’ll see it works. I’m frustrated because I don’t like installing 2 plug-ins where 1 should do!

I’m sorry to say that is all absolutely wrong. Please refer to the like button documentation at https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ if you configure a test button with a button count style and width at 90 and hit it you will see the comments frame box appear. The button size and style has nothing to do with this – is is functionality built into all FB Like buttons.

Hi ThatRuled – I had someone share some code with me for the functions.php file that specifically targets the author’s archive page which is what I wanted…

add_action('wp_head', 'social_media_author_image' );

function social_media_author_image() {
    if ( is_author( 'nameofauthor' ) ) {
        // set a custom image if we're visiting authors's author page
       echo '<meta property="og:image" content="authorimage.jpg" />';
    }
}

Hi Tony – did you ever get a response? I need a similar feature.
