Shareaholic

@powercutin Released! GMail also now opens directly in the App. As does Facebook and Facebook Messenger. Do give it a try.

Hi @powercutin On Monday we’ll be releasing an update where the Facebook button will open the Facebook App on Mobile. Thank you for your feedback and making the product better!

If I put the carousel at the top, it hides the menu and share bar. If I put it at the bottom, it hides the navigation bar or floating buttons.

There are a number of ways to prevent this.

You can use an Vertical Offset to avoid this The?Vertical Offset?setting allows you to adjust the height from the top of the page by percentage (%) or pixel.

You can also use Targeting Rules in such a way that the Recommendations Bar only appears on scroll UP, exit intent, etc.

Also, not all featured images load.

See – https://support.shareaholic.com/hc/en-us/articles/360000017006-Remove-Dead-Links-Deleted-Content-Outdated-Content-from-Related-Content-and-Content-Library

And then I wish there were H1 titles

This was a deliberate choice to avoid CSS conflicts with existing styling for H1’s on the page. Also, it appears to have minimal affect on ranking – https://moz.com/blog/h1-seo-experiment

Hi there,

Because your custom CSS was interfering with them.

You would need to customize the CSS further to properly target the correct properties. For example:

Marking resolved as the site is no longer using Shareaholic. If you still need help, do let us know.

ps. can setup Shareaholic’s Floated Share Buttons to appear only on scroll UP, after X idle time, etc (combinations too). Very advanced options are available to fine-tune and control “when” they should appear at the most ideal time.

One way to do it would be to hide the In-page buttons on mobile and instead turn on Floated Share Buttons on Mobile. You can customize which buttons appear on Mobile (vs Desktop) for Floated Share Buttons. Is that something that may work?

Hi @torlowski it’s because there isn’t enough space to fit all the icons in one row so the ones before the “all share” button that can’t fit are not shown. Maybe consider removing the LinkedIn button?

The “Email” button will open the client that is set as the “Default Mail App” on the users iOS device. For Gmail, this is set within the Gmail app settings on iOS.

We will look into deep links for Gmail for iOS. It should be possible!

Hi?@jonathanc1 can we be of further help?

The following knowledgebase article lists the CSS selectors that can also be used:

Hi @jonathanc1

This is usually caused by an CSS issue/conflict on the page. In-Page Apps are designed to collapse to the size of the container it is given. For instance, if it’s given space for only 1 icon, it will show 1 icon. Can you please make sure the where you’re placing these buttons, the parent is giving it enough width to load all icons when the page is initially loaded? This can usually be done by explicitly setting the width of the containing container.

For example, try setting the width explicitly here (width: 100%):

<div class="code-block code-block-25" style="margin: 8px 0; clear: both;">
</div>

You’re very welcome!

Hi @julius-e were you able to figure it out?

@julius-e

Shareaholic pulls lifetime counts directly from the social networks for the most accurate counts. So it doesn’t matter if you were using another plugin before – if there were legitimate shares on the services we support counts for, they will show.

Have you enabled the Share Count Proxy in Shareaholic -> Plugin Settings? This is required for Facebook counts. And it’s free.

I’m assuming most of your shares are on Facebook? If so, using the paid service that we host in the cloud has many advantages – the biggest of which are much higher Facebook API limits and whitelisting:

Counts on your buttons will match what you see on the Share Count Tally lookup tool with the paid version of the service as they use the same infrastructure.
