What if I want to move where the buttons are output?

Version 2.0.0 changes everything here. The plugin now offers options for adding sharing buttons to each and every type of content on your site. Buttons can be added in multiple places, or easily add support so you can add buttons anywhere you like. The default button locations are:

• Before Content: at the beginning of the post/entry, within the post/entry content.
• After Content: at the end of the post/entry, within the post/entry content.
• Manual: select this if you are adding buttons with your own code (this ensures that the necessary styles are loaded, and some other housekeeping).

To take advantage of the new location options, you must visit the plugin settings page and update your settings.

Note: if you have code that removes the original buttons output and adds it back by hand, make sure that you select Manual for the location for each affected content type.

The best way to change the button output location is by using a filter. This example changes the locations from using the_content filter (with hook set to false) to using action hooks instead.

add_filter( 'scriptlesssocialsharing_locations', 'prefix_change_sss_locations' );
function prefix_change_sss_locations( $locations ) {
    $locations['before'] = array(
        'hook'     => 'genesis_before_entry',
        'filter'   => false,
        'priority' => 8,
    );
    $locations['after'] = array(
        'hook'     => 'loop_end',
        'filter'   => false,
        'priority' => 8,
    );

    return $locations;
}

If you use the Genesis Framework, you can tell the plugin to prefer Genesis specific action hooks with this very simple filter:

add_filter( 'scriptlesssocialsharing_prefer_genesis_hooks', '__return_true' );

What about a shortcode?

As of version 2.0.0, you can add sharing buttons directly to your content with a shortcode. You can tweak the output, too. For example, to add the buttons to your content, exactly as you have them set up in your settings, just use this shortcode:

[scriptless]

If you want to remove the heading, try it this way (or customize the heading by adding text):

[scriptless heading=""]

Want to only show certain buttons in the shortcode? Add them as a shortcode attribute (separate with commas, no spaces). This will show just the email and facebook buttons:

[scriptless buttons="email,facebook"]

Can I add sharing buttons to posts on archive pages?

Yes. First, you have to tell the plugin that it can, in fact, run, even on the relevant archive page:

add_filter( 'scriptlesssocialsharing_can_do_buttons', 'prefix_add_buttons_archives' );
function prefix_add_buttons_archives( $cando ) {
    if ( is_home() || is_tax() || is_category() ) {
        $cando = true;
    }
    return $cando;
}

Then you can add the buttons to the individual posts (this example works only with the Genesis Framework):

add_action( 'genesis_entry_content', 'prefix_scriptlesssocialsharing_buttons_entry_content', 25 );
function prefix_scriptlesssocialsharing_buttons_entry_content() {
    if ( ! function_exists( 'scriptlesssocialsharing_do_buttons' ) ) {
        return;
    }
    $is_disabled = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_scriptlesssocialsharing_disable', true );
    if ( ! $is_disabled && ! is_singular() ) {
        echo wp_kses_post( scriptlesssocialsharing_do_buttons() );
    }
}

Some posts are missing the Pinterest button. Why is that?

Yes, this is intentional. Pinterest really really really wants your posts to have an image. The Pinterest button breaks if there isn’t an image. The plugin looks in three places to find one: 1) the custom Pinterest image; 2) the post featured image; and 3) if there is no featured image set, it picks the first image uploaded to that specific post. At this point, if there is still no image, rather than putting up a button which won’t work, the plugin won’t output a Pinterest button at all on that particular post.

What is this “Custom Pinterest Image”?

As of version 1.5.0, you can add an image for the plugin to use specifically for Pinterest, instead of the post’s featured image. This image will be added to the Pinterest sharing button as well as hidden in your content, so that the Pinterest bookmarklet will be able to “see” the image.

How can I change the order of the sharing buttons?

You can customize the order of the sharing buttons with a filter. Here’s an example which places Reddit as the first button, and email as the last:

add_filter( 'scriptlesssocialsharing_networks', 'prefix_sort_networks_custom' );
function prefix_sort_networks_custom( $networks ) {
    $networks['email']['order']     = 7;
    $networks['facebook']['order']  = 1;
    $networks['google']['order']    = 2;
    $networks['linkedin']['order']  = 4;
    $networks['reddit']['order']    = 0;
    $networks['twitter']['order']   = 6;
    $networks['pinterest']['order'] = 5;

    uasort( $networks, 'prefix_set_scriptless_sort_order' );

    return $networks;
}

/**
 * Custom comparison function to sort the networks.
 * @param $a
 * @param $b
 *
 * @return bool
 */
function prefix_set_scriptless_sort_order( $a, $b ) {
    return $a['order'] > $b['order'];
}

You can set any order you like. 0 is the first number.
