Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Shariff Wrapper

Yes. Simply use the shortcode function:

You can use all options of the shorttag as described on the help tab in the plugin settings.

Yes. You can use do_shortcode('[shariff services="totalnumber"]') to simply output the total amount of shares for a post in the loop. It will return the number itself wrapped in a <span class="shariff-totalnumber"></span> in order for the shariff.js to update the count. Also only cached data is used, in order to not slow down your site.

Yes. You can use function your_awesome_function( $share_counts ) { // $share_counts is an array including all enabled services, // the timestamp of the update and the url of the post. // do stuff } add_action( 'shariff_share_counts', 'your_awesome_function' ); WARNING: This hook will get called A LOT. So be sure you know what you are doing.

It uses the same options that have been configured on the plugin options page. However, you can put in a shorttag that overwrites the default options. It has the same format as you use in posts. Take a look at the help section of the plugin options page for more information.

A: Yes. You can change all options using the shorttag in the Shariff meta box on the right side of the post edit screen.

A: Shariff tries to protect the privacy of your visitors. In order to do this, the statistics have to be requested by your server, so social networks only see a request of your server and not from your visitor. However, we do not know, if you want this. Therefore it is not enabled by default.

Enable it on the plugin options page in general or add backend="on" to the shariff shorttag in your post. I still do not see share counts Please have a look at the status tab on the plugin options page. It states whether share counts are enabled and if there is a problem with a service. Please also keep in mind that the plugin has a minimum refresh time of 60 seconds and that each service has their own cache as well.

The time to live (TTL) value determines, if a share count of a post or page gets refreshed when someone visits this specific page / post of your blog. Too small values create too much useless traffic, too high values negate the goal of motivating visitors to also share a post. The value can be adjusted between 60 and 7200 seconds. Keep in mind, the actual lifespan depends on the age of the post as well.

Have a look at the alignment options in the admin menu or checkout the style option.
