Fixing Social Sharing on LEB

jbilohjbiloh Administrator, Veteran

Hi Everyone,

Today I am working on fixing the Social Media sharing plugin for LowEndBox.

I think I have it fixed but it would be great to have a few people test by sharing on LinkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook. After 15 minutes you can delete the shares if you want.

If you are willing to help please share this post using the integrated social sharing buttons at the bottom of the post: https://lowendbox.com/blog/looking-for-community-industry-news/

Thank you!!

    Hi Jon,
    We shared using Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn and it looks good.

    Did the counter increment for each of your shares on the page?

    I am testing Twitter specifically and I am not sure it's properly working.

    On LinkedIn when sharing it struggled a bit, since there is a personal profile and company profile, so when switching to company LinkedIn rejects the "attachment" as it was already intended to post on the first profile so at that point it was manual.

    As for twitter, we actually shared the news prior to seeing this thread, however, seeing that there was confirmed issues with it just let us know when resolved, we will share it using the plugin and advise if it is fixed.

    Keep up the good work Jon.

    All of three are working fine but I don't see any counters.

  • jbilohjbiloh Administrator, Veteran

    I've fixed this so that it now shows on mobile. That's one problem solved.

    The best I can tell the counter is working for:

    Facebook shares
    LinkedIn shares

    The counter is not working for Twitter:

    Is that what everyone else is seeing?
