Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Social Media Feather

Use custom fields: Disable sharing: synved_social_exclude_share = yes Disable follow: synved_social_exclude_follow = yes Disable both: synved_social_exclude = yes

They are off by default. Go to Settings > Social Media > Service Providers and set the Service option to Share for ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, Gemini, Grok, or Perplexity.

Neither accepts a prompt in a URL, so those buttons copy the prompt to the clipboard and open a blank chat instead. The visitor pastes it into the chat box.

Disable automatic display in Settings > Social Media, then use widgets under Appearance > Widgets.

Edit the Twitter Share URL: From: http://twitter.com/share?url=%%url%%&text=%%message%% To: http://twitter.com/share?url=%%url%%&text=%%title%% Facebook shows incorrect preview data Use a proper OpenGraph plugin such as Yoast SEO. Then clear cache using: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ Some icons are missing Check browser extensions like ad blockers. They may block social icons. Share popup shows an error This is usually caused by a lightbox plugin. Update or replace the conflicting plugin.

Add custom CSS in Settings > Social Media: Example: .synved-social-button { margin-left: 10px !important; }
