Installation

1. Extract fixed-social-buttons.zip in the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory.
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress
3. Go to **Settings** and then **Easy Buttons** to configure the plugin.

Buttons don’t appear

Since version 2.4.5.0, your wordpress theme must have the

<?php wp_footer(); ?> function in the file footer.php
Most of themes already call this function. If not, buttons don’t appear : you have to insert it yourself.
How to insert this function?
Edit the footer.php file here : /wp-admin/theme-editor.php
and insert <?php wp_footer(); ?> before </body>

If you download the zip file

If the zip file is named « fixed-social-buttons.X.X.zip » (because of file version), you have to rename it « fixed-social-buttons.zip » before extracting it in order to have the plugin directory named « fixed-social-buttons ».
You can ask support in english or french leaving comments on this page

* Version: 1.0 (14 May 2011) Initial Release
* Version: 1.1 (23 May 2011) Correction on twitter links

    My blog is pointed to my home domain folder and wordpress is in a sub-folder.. when I use the plugin it shows the site in format site.com/subfolder with a dead link at the top to my index page for the sub directory.. how do I get your plugin to point to the proper index page while being posted in wordpress under a subdirectory?

    hi there,
    want to ask..

    instead of making the icons horizontal, can u make an option to make it appear as vertical as well.

    having these set of icons in the middle or bottom of the left side, vertically is nice.

    tq

    Hi Neo, showing the buttons in a vertical axe is expected for next version.

    Hi Loane,
    I love your soc. media buttons! But I am not sure how you go about changing the size of these buttons. I looks to me that that is an option. Can you help me with that? I have it installed in this size but would like to use it in small, rectangular version.

  • Loane
    14 janvier 2010 à 22:05

    Hi Elenab, In Admin Panel, you have to go to ‘Settings’ and then ‘Fixed Social Buttons’ to configure the plugin. You will be able to choose your buttons style as it’s shown in the screenshot.

    This plugin is seriously awesome. I might replace my old sharing plugin with it. However, it lacks some options I was expecting. For example, Digg. Any plans to add to the list of supported sites?

    I also just noticed, the plugin adds a ton of inline CSS to the page. Would you also consider implementing an external stylesheet? It would help save server and user bandwidth.

    PS: I love the design of your site! It’s colorful, vibrant, eye-catching, intriguing, and just plain interesting. I want to just stare at it. :D

  • Loane
    15 janvier 2010 à 11:18

    Hi, yes some social buttons will be added soon (like digg, google, flickr…). And i’m also implementing an external stylesheet.

    Hi Nicolas. It seems that u solved the trouble cause when i go on your site, I see buttons linking with ‘Bread & Cookies’.

    wonderful plug-in! i’m in the settings and have everytting set except for « Feed Url? » am i supposed to leave « http://www.webonews.fr/ » there or put in another address?

  • Loane
    17 janvier 2010 à 2:57

    HI Dani, Thanks. You are supposed to put you feed url if you have one. Else you can disable it or let it blank.

  • DaniLew
    17 janvier 2010 à 3:27

    thank you, loane! also, your RRS feed icon has a misspelling. it should be « Subscribe this feed » rather than « Suscribe this feed ».

    Hi,

    I really like the look and style of the buttons but i would like to use the plugin for a different function, namely, i would like the facebook and twitter buttons to point to my own profiles on those social networks, not to share the site but to act as a kind of « follow me » « add me » button’s.

    Is this at all possible? i tried editing the plugin through the wordpress edit plugin function but i couldn’t get it to work.

    Regards,

    Just downloaded the social buttons yesterday. Looks great but I have one problem. What do i put in the feed URL? I’m using twitter, facebook and RSS.
    Thanks in advance for help.

  • Loane
    19 janvier 2010 à 18:17

    Hi,
    to JP : This option will be available in a future version. You’ll be able to promote your social profile instead of promoting your blog pages.

    to Khadine : You have to fill the feed url if you have one. It’s may be yourblog.com/feed. If you don’t want to show it, you can disable the feed button.

    Loane.

    The update you just pushed through caused the css not to load. As soon as I deactivated the plugin all went back to normal.

    Anyone else getting this problem?

  • Voyagerfan5761
    21 janvier 2010 à 1:59

    @Loane: Sweet, cache-ability = WIN. I wonder if you would consider moving the HTML for the actual buttons to the body tag in a future release; including it in the header results in über-invalid markup. The buttons should also be nearer the end of the HTML source for better compatibility with screen readers and other accessibility software.

    @Lex: I think there’s a glitch with your theme or a plugin conflict. My About page has a list of my plugins that might help you eliminate some suspects.

    I installed the fixed social buttons to my WP but don’t see the option to place them vertical, horizontal, top nor bottom location. Please help with this issue. Here is where they a positioned right now http://www.BuffyGriffin.com.

    Hi Buffy, you should Go to **Settings** and then **Fixed Social Buttons** to configure the plugin. If you don’t find it, the link would be yoursite.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=fixed-social-buttons/fixed-social.php

    Very nice plugin. It really rocks. Like JP, it would be great if we could promote our facebook fun page. As it’s now possible with Twitter.
    Keep on.

    I’ve got a problem with the Plugin. I set my Twitter Account in the Settings and I want do delete it to let the users share my pages. So I delete it from the field. But when I try to save, my username stands there again. :O

    Loane : Hi, yes there is a trouble. You have to fill it with space. It should work then. I will fix it for next version.

    Any chance we could get a button for email as well? That would be really useful … would let me email a post to a friend or acquaintance!

    Please please please???

    Thanks for the plugin, I was just coming here to ask if there could be an email button… but I see Bill beat me to it. ::)

  • Nicole
    7 février 2010 à 4:11

    Great Plug in, I would like the capability of directing all of the buttons to my pages (the way it is for Twitter and FB) as a follow button instead of as a share button.

    Hi, wow, nice plugin. Just installed it in one of my new blogs and plans to install it in all of my blogs. Just one thing, is it possible to include a Yahoo buzz button? Thanks a lot!

  • Dana
    9 février 2010 à 10:55

    Wish to move the buttons down about 15 pixels (am using vertical ones–)

    I love these buttons. I have two sites and use them on both! Thank you so much!

  • jason
    9 février 2010 à 19:33

    You should make the icons one png file and use background position, this will improve performance and make it so there is only one download request…. will speed things up.. great plugin non the less!

    Great plugin….but it doesn’t work in IE7 and help?

    Great plugin. Can you add a youtube icon/option in the next version?

  • J.P

    Brilliant support so far. I love this plug-in and recommended highly to all my friends, there’s just no better way to add links to your social web profiles on ones blog.

    I have one request tho. With the launch of Google Buzz, having a link to your google profile on your blog for others to follow is becoming something that’s significantly more important than it was before.

    Is there a way for the author to add support for google profiles?

    Regards,

  • Dana
    13 février 2010 à 2:53

    Have you responded? I didn’t see it…Not sure if I should look here or in my email box…
    I have two blogs, and I love these buttons. They are such a great design. WONDERFUL, THANK YOU!

    I use them vertically. Problem is, the first one covers my button for the HOME page. I did’nt’ design the blog theme at Oscar Prep, so I don’t really wish to move anything with the blog theme.

    IS IT POSS TO MOVE THE BUTTONS ABOUT 10 px lower, in postion on the page. From the very top? Still remaining all the way to the right, but starting just a bit lower down?

    Thank you very much…
    Dana

    many thanks for your time and efforts…to do such a creation and offer it to so many, is a wonderful thing. i too echo that it would be nice to have the facebook icon go to the fan page of facebook sites so readers can just click and follow (just like the twitter). really enjoy the ease of use and the ability to pick icon styles and placement. you have done an exceptional job and i cannot thank you enough!

    Hello,

    I really love your plugin, just wanted to ask if there will be additional buttons in the future for YouTube and Buzz.

    Thanks!

    Hi there Emy….THANKS, this is THE coolest,slickest and sexiest social button thingy I’ve seen. The way they sit over there—-> on the side out of the designs way and next to the scroll bar, looking so irresistibly cute to click is genius!

    I like the idea of Youtube and Buzz buttons as well!

    Cheers

    Hi there, the plugin looks and works great. Any chance you could add a button for Mixcloud too? I have a music weblog and host my mixes at Mixcloud, so it would be great if you could add that too.
