Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Socialize

Yes. These visual styles can be adjusted from the plugin settings.

Uncheck all buttons in the 'Socialize' panel for that post.

Yes. Use the "Hide Call To Action Box below this post" checkbox in the post’s Socialize panel.

Set your preferred handle under "Twitter Source" in the settings.

Floating buttons stay visible alongside the content. Static top buttons appear above the content and can be left, center, or right aligned.
