Your favorite social plugin Super Socializer is now more powerful and elegant with release of version 4.2.0
What’s new in version 4.2.0
There were some issues in the previous version which have been fixed in this version.
- Xing login had stopped working after few weeks of the release of previous version because of some changes at the end of Xing
- Google login was not working when French translation enabled
- Bit.ly url shortening service was being called on each page load. Now the short urls are cached
- Social Login was dropping out the names with cyrillic characters and creating accounts having blank first and last names
- Facebook Commenting using mobile devices resulted in refreshing of the commenting interface on clicking the textarea to type comment, thereby leaving users unable to comment using mobile devices
- Bit.ly url shortening was not working in the sharing interface rendered using shortcode
- Mistakenly introduced pair of braces {} in front.css file has been removed
- Commenting.js file was being loaded on the webpage even if Facebook commenting was disabled on that page which was increasing page load time
Apart from above bug-fixes, some new features/improvements have been introduced in this version.
Whatsapp sharing: Whatsapp is included in the sharing networks. So users can now share the content on Android and IOS devices too.
Facebook Commenting Improvements: Facebook Commenting can be enabled leaving default comment form disabled, using ‘Keep only Facebook commenting‘ option in Facebook Commenting section.
Enable sharing at Archive pages: Sharing on archive pages (Category, Tag, Author or Date based pages) can be enabled using Archive Pages option in Sharing Location section at Social Sharing options page in admin panel.
Hooks for customization: New hooks are introduced to make the plugin flexible to be customized.
- ‘the_champ_login_interface_filter‘ filter in ‘inc/social_login.php’ file to use custom icons for Social Login
- ‘the_champ_ajax_response_filter‘ filter in helper.php file to alter AJAX responses
- ‘the_champ_hook_update_profile_data‘ action in ‘inc/social_login.php’ to update profile data
Enable/Disable social account linking at BuddyPress profile page: Social account linking can be turned on/off from Social Login section at plugin options page in admin panel.
Dependency on ‘wp_footer’ hook removed: Javascript files are now being included in website footer using wp_enqueue_script function which was being accomplished using wp_footer hook in previous versions.

Hi there,
Whatsapp sharing works on Android and IOS. It will not work on your PC. Isn’t that obvious? 🙂

Let me know your website url if Whatsapp sharing is not working on Android/IOS

It’s working on Android. Seems something related to your environment. You would like to test it on another android device.
BTW, what is the issue/error you are having with Whatsapp sharing?
when ever it is clicked an pop up opens google search and search for the script
Let me know the Operating System, its version and Whatsapp version you are using.

Hi,
I love your plugin, I’m using it on a couple of blogs, and I have managed to make a couple of “tweeks” to the looks of the icons 🙂 However; when I set the starting page on the blog to be a static page, and another “page” to show my blog posts, sharing is not displayed on the “blog page”…? All options like display on posts, pages, excerpts, archives and so on are checked… Any solution to this..?
Hi Nicky,
Thanks for your love 🙂
Yes, I can help you with this. Just drop me an email at lordofthechamps[at]gmail[dot]com with your website url.
Sent a mail, from my hilde(at)hilton.no adress 😉
I have a question… Can I get the WordPress login button (just like I see here below this message field) with Super Socializer? It would be simpler for WordPress bloggers who come visit my site.
Hi Isabelle,
Unfortunately, this is not possible for now. I will try to add WordPress login option in the plugin ASAP.
Thanks for such a quick response! I’m jealous. I can see *you* are using it! 🙂
