Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about WPSocialite

WPSocialite uses socialite.js and implements it into the Wordpress workflow, adding it automatically (or manually, if you choose) to your content. Socialite.js allows us to define when we would like to load our social sharing links. For example, if we have a page with ten posts, each with their own set of Facebook Like, Google+ Share, and Twitter Share links, they could take some time to load. Using WPSocialite, you can load those individually when the user scrolls or hovers over a specific post.

Of course! Use the "manual" setting under the plugin settings (Settings->Discussion) and then use the following template tags in your template to display the links however you please. The first template tag is to echo out the markup and display WPSocialite: <?php wpsocialite_markup('large'); ?> The second template tag is to get WPSocialite's mark up and place it in an object, if needed: <?php $wpsocialite = get_wpsocialite_markup('small'); echo $wpsocialite; ?>

You can also use the shortcode [wpsocialite size="large"] or [wpsocialite size="small"] in a post or page and it will display the social sharing buttons anywhere you like.

Yes! By dropping the following code into your wp-config.php file you will tell the plugin to not load its CSS and Javascript and give you the ability to add it manually. define('WPSOCIALITE_LOADSCRIPTS', false); Setting this to false tells the plugin to not load any Javascript. If you want the plugin to automatically load it again, simply set this to true or remove it completely. To stop the plugin from automatically loading its CSS, you would use the following line in the same way: define( 'WPSOCIALITE_LOADSTYLES', false); Please note, when using this method if you are loading any social networks with an external file (Pinterest, for example), you will also have to load the javascript file associated with the network (wpsocialite/Socialite/extensions/socialite.pinterest.js).
