  • You can pick from a wide range of share icon designs

  • Here you can animate your social share icons (automatic shuffling, mouse-over effects etc.), to make visitors of your site aware that they can share, follow & like your site

  • Er zijn nog veel meer opties om uit te kiezen

  • You can also add social share icons at the end of every post

  • ...or even display a pop-up (designed to your liking) which asks users to like & share your site

Installatie

Extract the zip file and drop the contents into the wp-content/plugins/ directory of your WordPress installation. Then activate the plugin from the plugins page.

Then go to plugin settings page and follow the instructions. After you’re done, go to the Widget area (Appearance >> Widget) and place the widget on your sidebar to display your social sharing icons on your blog.

Opmerking: voor deze plugin moet CURL op je server zijn geactiveerd/geïnstalleerd (wat standaard zou moeten zijn), en een PHP-versie van 5.4 of hoger. Als je het niet hebt, neem dan contact op met je hostingprovider of serverbeheerder.

FAQ

Bekijk ook de meer uitgebreide FAQ op http://ultimatelysocial.com/faq

.

Ik heb te maken met fundamentele problemen (de plugin laadt niet enz.)

Zorg ervoor dat:

  • Je gebruikt de nieuwste versie van de plugin(s)
  • Your site is running on PHP 5.4 or above
  • Je hebt CURL geactiveerd (moet standaard geactiveerd zijn)

Als je hier niet bekend mee bent, neem dan contact op met je hostingbedrijf of serverbeheerder.

Controleer of je browserextensies hebt geactiveerd die in strijd kunnen zijn met de plugin. Bekende boosdoeners zijn onder meer:

  • Open SEO statistieken (voorheen: PageRank status) in Chrome
  • Adblock Plus in Chrome
  • Vine in Chrome

Deactiveer die extensies of probeer het in een andere browser.

If the plugin setting’s area looks ‘funny’ after an upgrade then please clear your cache with String+F5 (PC) or Command+R (Mac).

If you get the error message “Are you sure you want to do this? / Please try again” when uploading the socialsharing plugin: Some servers may have a low limits with respect to permitted upload times. Please set the values in the “php.ini” file to:

max_execution_time 90
post_max_size 48M

If you don’t know how to do it, please contact your server support / hosting company for that. Tell them you need it for a social sharing plugin on WordPress which may take longer to upload.

If your issue is still not fixed after you’ve followed the steps above, we can provide support as part of our share to social Premium Plugin: https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/.

I get error messages ‘Error : 7’, ‘Error : 56’, ‘Error : 6’ etc.

Those point to a CURL-issue on your site. Please contact your server admin or your hosting company to resolve it.

De plugin vereist CURL voor het aantal sociale delen en andere functies.

Social share icons don’t show

Please ensure you actually placed the social share buttons either as social widget (in your widget area) or as floating icons under question 5). The Premium Plugin makes placing the social icons especially easy and also allows you to place sticky social share icons on your site, define the placement of the social share icons by margins and many other options, see https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/.

If only some social share icons show, but not all, then please clear your cache, and check if you may have conflicting browser extensions (e.g. ‘Disconnect’-app in Chrome). Also Ad-Blockers are known culprits, please switch them off temporarily to see if that is the reason.

If the social share icons still don’t show then there’s an issue with your template. Please contact the creator of your template for that.

If you are referring to specific social share icons not showing in the plugin itself (e.g. you’re looking for a Whatsapp share icon, but it doesnt exist) please note that our Premium Plugin has many more social media share icons, see https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/

Twitter social share counts are not displaying (anymore)

Helaas stopte Twitter met het tellen van sociale delen. God weet waarom.

Changes don’t get saved / Deleted plugin but the social share icons still show

Most likely you have the WP Cache plugin installed. Please de-activate and then re-activate it, then the social share icons should display again.

Links when clicking on the social share icons don’t work

Please ensure you’ve entered the ‘http://’ at the beginning of the url (for all social networks). If the social share icons are not clickable at all there is most likely an issue with your template. This is especially the case if you’ve given your social share buttons several features, which should show a pop-up (tooltip) when you move over the social share icons.

I cannot upload custom social share icons

Most likely that’s because you’ve set ‘allow_url_fopen’ to ‘off’. Please turn it to ‘on’ (or ask your server admin to do so, he’ll know what to do. Tell them you need it to upload custom share icons for a social media buttons plugin).

My Youtube social share icon (direct follow) doesn’t work

Please ensure that you’ve selected the radio button ‘Username’ when you enter a youtube username, or ‘Channel ID’ when you entered a channel ID.

Aligning the social share icons (centered, left- or right-aligned) doesn’t work

The alignment options under question 5 align the social share icons with respect to each other, not where they appear on the page. Our new Premium Plugin is the best social sharing plugin on the market, allowing you to define also many other social share icon alignments (e.g. within a widget, within shortcode etc.).

Clicking on the RSS icon returns funny codes

Dat is normaal. RSS-gebruikers weten wat ze ermee moeten doen (d.w.z. kopieer en plak de url in hun RSS-lezers).

Facebook ‘like’-telling klopt niet

When you ‘like’ something on your blog via facebook it likes the site you’re currently on (e.g. your blog) and not your Facebook page.

The new Premium Plugin also allows to show the number of your Facebook page likes, see https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/.

Sharing doesn’t take the right text or picture

We use the share codes from Facebook etc. and therefore don’t have any influence over which text & pic Facebook decides to share.

Merk op dat je een afbeelding kunt definiëren als ‘Aanbevolen afbeelding’ die Facebook enz. vertelt om die te delen. Je vindt dit gedeelte ‘Uitgelichte afbeelding’ in het beheerdersgedeelte van je blog, waar je je blogbericht kunt bewerken.

Je kan controleren welke afbeelding Facebook zal nemen door je url in te voeren op https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/.

UPDATE: we made significant enhancements to the premium plugin, it now allows you to define the sharing pics and texts for your social share icons.

The pop-up shows although I only gave my social share icon one function

The pop-up only disappears if you’ve given your social share icons only a ‘visit us’-function, otherwise (e.g. if you gave it ‘Like’ (on facebook) or ‘Tweet’ functions) a pop-up is still needed because the social share buttons for those are coming directly from the social media sites (e.g. Facebook, Twitter) and we don’t have any influence over their design.

I selected to display the social share icons after every post but they don’t show

The social share icons usually do show, however not on your blog page, but on your single posts pages. The Premium plugin (https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/) also allows to display the social share icons on your homepage.

Plugin decreases my site’s loading speed

The plugin is one of the most optimized social media plugin in terms of impact on a site’s loading speed (optimized code, compressed pictures etc.).

Als je nog steeds problemen met de laadsnelheid ondervindt, houd er dan rekening mee dat:

  • The more sharing- and invite- features you place on your site, the more external codes you load (i.e. from the social media sites; we just use their share code), therefore impacting loading speed. So to prevent this, give your social share icons only ‘Visit us’-functionality rather than sharing-functionalities.

  • We’ve programmed it so that the code for the social media icons is the one which loads lasts on your site, i.e. after all the other content has already been loaded. This means: even if there is a decrease in loading speed, it does not impact a user’s experience because he sees your site as quickly as before, only the social media icons take a bit longer to load.

There might be also other issues on your site which cause a high loading speed (e.g. conflicts with our plugins or template issues). Please ask your template creator about that.

Also, if you’ve uploaded social media sharing icons not provided by the plugin itself (i.e. custom share icons) please ensure they are compressed as well.

After moving from demo-server to live-server the follow/subscribe-link doesn’t work anymore

Verwijder en installeer de plugin opnieuw.

If you already placed the code for a subscription form on your site, remove it again and take the new one from the new plugin installation.

There are other issues when I activate the plugin or place the social share icons

Controleer het volgende:

The plugin requires that CURL is installed & activated on your server (which should be the standard case). If you don’t have it, please contact your hosting provider.

Please ensure that you don’t have any browser extension activated which may conflict with the plugin, esp. those which block certain content. Known culprits include the ‘Disconnect’ extension in Chrome or the ‘Privacy Badger’ extension in Firefox.

If issues persist most likely your theme has issues which makes it incompatible with our plugin. Please contact your template creator for that. As part of the Premium Plugin (https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/) we fix also theme issues, and provide support to ensure that your social media share buttons appear on your site (exactly where you want them).

Hoe kan ik zien hoeveel mensen hebben besloten mijn bericht te delen of leuk te vinden?

You can see this by activating the social share ‘counts’ on the front end (under question 4 in the USM plugin, question 5 in the USM+ plugin).

We cannot provide you this data in other ways as it’s coming directly from the social media sites. One exception: if you like to know when people start to follow you by email, then you can get email alerts. For that, please claim your feed (see question above).

How can I change the ‘Please follow & like us :)’?

You can change it in the Widget-area where you dropped the widget (with the social share icons) on the sidebar. Please click on it (on the sidebar), it will open the menu where you can change the text.

Als je geen tekst wilt tonen, typ je gewoon een spatie (‘ ‘).

Can I use a shortcode to place the social share icons?

Yes, use [DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_SOCIAL_ICONS] to show the social share icons. You can place it into any editor.

Alternatively, you can place the following into your codes to show the share icons:

In some cases there might be issues to display social media sharing buttons which you uploaded as custom share icons. In this case, we provide support as part of our premium plugin: https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/

Can I get more options for the social share icons next to posts?

Gebruik daarvoor deze plugin: https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/

Can I also give the email-icon a ‘mailto:’ functionality?

Yes, that is possible in our new social share plugin, the Premium Plugin: https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/

Can I also display the social share icons vertically?

Yes, that is possible in our new social sharing plugin, the Premium Plugin: https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/.

Hoe kan ik de tekst op de ‘bezoek ons’-knoppen wijzigen?

Gebruik deze plugin: https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/

Can I deactivate the social share icons on mobile?

Yes, you can disable the share icons under question 5. In our new Premium Plugin you can define different settings for mobile, see https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/. The best way to share social media! 🙂

How can I use two instances of the plugin on my site?

You cannot use the same plugin twice, however you can install both the USM as well as the Premiuem plugin (https://www.ultimatelysocial.com/usm-premium/). We’ve developed the code so that there are no conflicts and you can place the share icons in one way with one plugin, and select other share icons with the other plugin and place them differently.

Is the plugin also available in my language?

It depends on which language you speak 🙂 however probably the answer is “yes”, as we recently translated it into the most common languages:

When I installed, the plugin starting popping up banners on my site and other forms. The set-up was a hard-core sales pitch and manipulation. Given the aggressive nature of what should be a simple plugin - I can't recommend it. It is unpredictable and a possible security issue.

I think this plugin has it all, enough on free version but super features on paid! I like it!
25 maart 2024 1 reactie
It's seriously awesome! I liked that, from the 20 designs, no matter what my WordPress theme will look like in the future, i will always find icons that are perfect match. Plus, it's crazy fast and lightweight, NOT slowing my site at all. It just made sharing ridiculously easy now. you are good at this guys

I downloaded this based on the number of positive reviews. Having tried to set it up I can only assume I was using a different plugin to everyone else! For starters, I'm trying to set this up via my phone. The setup page is not optimised for mobile, so I had to put my phone in portrait mode and use a tiny, floating keyboard to input the fields. Every time I clicked 'save', the page loaded to the bottom at their Premium advert, so I then had to scroll back up to the section I was just working on. After setting it up and saving, my icons weren't appearing. Go back to the settings page and the plugin had deselected my preferred location. After getting it load, it kept adding icons I didn't want. Go back to the settings page, and the unwanted icons are not selected. Odd, especially as I had disabled caching. Finally, after checking on my phone and deciding they looked ugly, I looked to see if there was a mobile version for the icons, a pretty standard request. There is, but it's a paid feature. I might try again on the desktop because it has a strong feature set, but honestly, in the time it took me to finally get the icons I wanted, I could have coded my own share buttons. I'll probably do this anyway because I really only want basic functionality. Because this is a pretty complex plugin, I worry about site performance. Sorry, I tried!
