Många av er har frågat oss om den flytande sociala delningen som vi använder på WPBeginner. Tidigare var vårt svar helt enkelt att det var ett custom plugin som vi skapade för vår site. Det följdes vanligtvis upp med en fråga om vad som är det bästa pluginet för sociala medier som du skulle rekommendera? Tyvärr fanns det ej ett enda som uppfyllde våra standarder. Vi rekommenderar bara vad vi använder eller skulle använda. Efter mycket eftertanke och övervägande har vi beslutat att släppa vår flytande sociala delning bar plugin för WPBeginner användare och den större WordPress gemenskapen. I den här artikeln kommer vi att visa dig hur du addar en horisontell flytande social delning i WordPress.
Fördelar
De flesta tillägg för social media för WordPress är uppblåsta. Delvis för att de stöder alla sorters Social Networks. Den andra delen beror på att skript för sociala media i sig är långsamma. Vi har fixat båda dessa issues i detta plugin. För det första stöder vi bara de stora sociala nätverken: Twitter, Facebook, Google+, LinkedIn och Pinterest.
För det andra fördröjer vi hämtar sociala skript tills användaren faktiskt för musen över, så din första laddningstid för sidan är den snabbaste som den kan vara. Förr i tiden satte man helt enkelt placeholder images, men vi tog det ett steg längre. Vi visar den cachelagrade versionen av räkningen som uppdateras med ett intervall som du bestämmer (standard 30 minuter). Så när användaren ser din delning ser den exakt likadan ut som den skulle göra om skripten för sociala media är aktiverade.
Enkelt uttryckt, denna flytande sociala bar allow oss att maximera vår synlighet i sociala media utan att påverka hastigheten på vår site.
Så här lägger du till den flytande sociala delningen på din site
Det första du behöver göra är att installera och aktivera pluginet Floating Social Bar. Vid aktivering kommer pluginet att lägga till en new menu under Settings ” Floating Social Bar.
För att add to det flytande sociala delningsfältet till dina blogginlägg, dra och släpp helt enkelt de tillgängliga sociala knapparna i det aktiverade sociala tjänsteområdet i den order du gillar att visa dem. Lägg sedan till ditt ID:n på Twitter i fältet i följande format WPBeginner. Kom ihåg att inte inkludera @-symbolen.
Rubriken för delningen kommer bara att visas om det finns tillräckligt med utrymme för den. Om du använder all delningsknappar är chansen stor att du inte kan få med titeln på grund av breddbegränsningar.
Du kan välja de post typer du vill add to det flytande sociala delningsfältet såsom posts, pages, eller någon annan custom post type.
Det sista fältet är cache-intervallet som är det som tillåter detta plugin att vara det mest effektiva. Vi rekommenderar att du inte ändrar detta nummer om du inte vet vad du gör. Så här fungerar det. Som standard hämtar detta plugin antalet sociala media från API:erna och lagrar det i en cache i 30 minuter. Det får bara räkningen för posten när den är hämtar för att minska belastningen på servern. Till exempel, om ej någon besöker ditt två år gamla post, kommer detta plugin inte att slösa bort dina dyrbara server resurser för det inlägget. Det får bara räkningen direkt när en användare besöker posten eller sidan.
Så är det bara. Nu när du går till din post page, kommer det att finnas en horisontell flytande delning bar.
Skaffa Floating Social Bar för din site. Det är gratis, och vänligen låt oss veta dina tankar. Vi har testat detta plugin i över ett år på WPBeginner, men vi uppskattar alltid återkoppling. För att hjälpa oss kan du gå till vår WordPress.org page för Floating Social Bar och lämna oss ett rating.
Vi hoppas att den här artikeln hjälpte dig att få den eftertraktade flytande sociala delningen till din WordPress site. Låt oss veta dina tankar genom att lämna en comment under. Slutligen, glöm inte att hjälpa oss genom att sprida ordet.

What social media plugin do you use on this site? Because it looks different from you floating social share bar?

Hi zak,
Yes, it is written specifically for WPBeginner.

How do you add the sharing buttons to the bottom of the post instead of the top?
Thanks
Ralph Eastwood says
I’ve just installed the plugin. Looks nice. Is there a way to have to bar at the bottom of the post? It seems better sense to have it there. People are going to share a post once they’ve read it and think there’s value – I don’t want to rely on them scrolling all the way back to the top just to share!
Laura says
I have installed, activated and added Facebook to the ’enabled social services’ box. I don’t have a Twitter user account so left that part blank. I saved the settings but the Facebook tab does not appear on my website! Did I miss something? Thanks
sham says
My social count is back to zero after migrate to HTTPS. How to fix this?
Alan says
Your instructions say, ”Next, add your twitter ID in the field …”
I do not have a Twitter account myself. Can I not use this plugin without joining Twitter? (I am on Facebook and LinkedIn.)
Editorial Staff says
Don’t enable the twitter share button or simply leave it blank. It allows you to get more followers if you enter the twitter ID there.

Try adding this in your theme’s stylesheet:
#fsb-social-bar { border-bottom: 1px solid #f1f1f1; border-top: 1px solid #f1f1f1; padding: 10px 0; margin: 0px 0 20px 0; float: left; background: #222; position: relative; clear: both; }1-click Use in WordPress

Thanks for this! How would you go about to tracking the shares as a goal in Google Analytics?
Elisa says
Error when pressing the button google +1. I get a red triangle and not resolve it.
Help !!!
Rick says
How can I turn off the display showing the number of times it has been shared? I do not want the count of shares to be shown.
Rebecca says
Hi, nice plugin. I’m having an issue though, when I use the ”pin it” button, it crops the photo. How can I avoid that?
Skwty says
Just wanted to give a heads up that your Floating Social Bar plugin was causing issues with my WP-Bold theme. It would remove the excerpt from the widget that I used to display related content in the sidebar. The title was there, but only on the single.php would the excerpt disappear. Solostream support mentioned that I should say something. I switched to another plugin because of it, but would much rather use the Floating Social Bar.
Thanks!
Zomi Daily says
Can you please include Facebook Share button, please?
Jon Brown says
Are you still planning to release a version that includes comment counts like this site does? Even if not ready for release is that code public?
Jorge says
Hi! Thanks for the great plugin. I have some questions when people press like or +1 do they share the post in my blog too? How can people share my content from the social bar? What is the capital of North Dakota
Thanks again!
Julius says
Great plugin, but unfortunately it consumes lots of resources. P3 plugin shows that it consumes 51% of all my plugins (I have 12 plugins).
WPBeginner Support says
We use it on our own sites and we are very concious about page speed. As for P3 plugin, the test results can be affected by many factors such as other services running on your server, if you are on a shared server, this will also affect results.

Urmet says
Great plugin – I would like to know one thing – can I have it this way that the counter loads immediately – like you have it on your own page – sharing numbers are visible even if I am not hovering over the plugin.
Haider says
Great Plugin Indeed!
I finally activated and modified it a little to suit my theme
I have a few queries:
1. Do you plan to include the new facebook share button along with the like button ? Please consider this.
2. Won’t it be better to handle styling with a separate CSS file rather than inline CSS ? A lot of premium themes have option for custom CSS which is added to the header; but that doesn’t work in this case. I had to modify the plugin file to change the styles.
Thank you so much for such an awesome product!
Jenn Marie says
Hi there! From one high-quality person to another: I see you. This plugin rocks, and I suspect it’s due to the meticulousness I see on all your stuff!
One question: any idea why the bar is not sticky for me on iPhone (iOS7)? I’m using Point, a responsive theme. Have tried disabling other social plugins.
Mike says
Lots of people like me having problems with your floating bar not working. Do you check your support comments? I guess only option is to assume that since you don’t address the reasons why your floating bar does not work, it must be broken and I must look for another solution. (Sad face)
WPBeginner Support says
Mike, we tested it WP 3.8 and it works fine. As a free plugin it comes with limited support options. Unfortunately we can not address theme related issues.

Brian So says
Hi, thanks for sharing this plugin. Whenever I click on ’Like’ on the floating social bar, it pops up a window for me to share to my friends. But the window is cut off, making only the left side visible. It only happens to the Facebook Like button and not to G+. Do you know how to fix this?
Jenn Marie says
Brian, try adding this to your style sheet or your theme’s custom CSS box:
/* to fix cropping of fb post-like popup*/
.fb-like iframe {
max-width: inherit !important;
}
I was having the same problem and this worked immediately!
Rahul Chowdary says
I absolutely loved this plugin. I made few changes myself to make it better for my blog.
I am also using Sticky Header by ThematoSoup. So when the sticky header is scrolled down the floating social bar overlapping perfectly.
Problem is the background of the bar and fsb-sprite image.
So I edited the css of this plugin to remove background color of the bar and removed background of fsb-sprite image.
You can see that working on any post of my blog. My blog: Techpingo[dot]com.
My question: In the free version an image is used as buttons and the counters are placed properly. But how can I use customized version with actual buttons like yours in ”wpbeginner.com” blog and sister blog ”list25.com” .
Please tell me how to do it but don’t say me no.
Mike Campbell says
Thanks for the great plugin, using it on a couple of my websites.
Nitin says
Hi,
Just wanted to know if the bar could be disabled for mobile devices as social sharing is native on iOS etc. If yes, then how.
Apologies, if you have already addressed the question in conversations before, I gave cursory glance could not find anyone on this.
Thanks
Muhammad Shoaib says
Hey i have installed it on my website and it is working great. I want to change the background color of the sharing bar so that it will match with my blog’s bg color. I have tried in CSS file but did not succeeded. can anyone help me how to do it.? Thanks
Jenn Marie says
Muhammad, you might try making your own fsb-sprite.png file with a transparent background. This file is located in the theme’s images folder and currently the button images are on a white background. You’ll need an image editing program that supports a transparent canvas, like Adobe Fireworks.
Bob Digital says
Hi, we are getting a redirect loop on the pinterest button, all others seem to work ok. Any ideas what we might be doing wrong?
WPBeginner Support says
Its working fine on our test site. Please try disabling other social media plugins and see if this works. If it does work then please notify us about the plugin that was conflicting.

Bob Digital says
Hi, thanks. Does the pinterest button on our site work for you? – http://digitalvillas.com/portfolio/dvr43-modern-fantasy-villa/
The only other social plugin on that theme is the ’Facebook Social Plugin Widgets’ so we have added the plugin to a new demo site we are making to test it out, this site uses a different theme and has no other social media plugins at all, it is on the same hosting though. We get the same response from the pinterest button.
On this page you dont have pinterest so we cant test it, is there another site you have it on we can test please?
Many Thanks.
WPBeginner Support says
We are using a customized version of floating social bar on our sister website, http://www.list25.com and Pinterest button is working fine there.

Great information about how to add a floating social share bar in wordpress?
I was looking for the information and I got the answer.
Paul says
Hi, I have a question about the facebook like. When you open this up, you get a share on facebook box, as expected. But if you have multiple facebook pages, how can you direct the share to a specific page, ie personal vs business page. This is a recurrent theme with facebook shares and likes. Any thoughts?
Thanks
Paul
aquib says
Hi the facebook share button will only partially display can you help ?
Paul says
I have a question. Let’s say you enable this new floating social bar, what happens to all those prior posts you have out in the world or in your blog, enabled with jetpack social sharing. Do those social buttons disappear from those posts?
WPBeginner Support says
Floating social bar will show your likes and tweet counts on those posts. The plugin will not affect how people shared your posts before installing this plugin.

I would like to use the new plugin, BUT
is it alright to install it on a wordpress site that has been customized with different/unique graphics and ”navigational icons” were added to the sub header??? *
(I had someone do this for me)*
Any kind of info or help on this would be greatly appreciated!
WPBeginner Support says
Yes it is alright to install it on a customized site.

Hi,
Thank you wpbeginner for creating such an awesome plugin. I installed it and realized it wasn’t floating, deactivated almost all plugins and found the culprits while activating them one by one. Two plugins that conflict with this one are: Facebook TrafficPop™ for WordPress, and WordPress Like Locker; same author from codecanyon.net. Do you guys have any idea how to fix it.
FxB says
Nice plugin
One observation : you should remove the white background on the sprite.png so we could tweak the background without having a disgracing white border around the elements.
For the rest nothing to say, great work
Iselag says
Can i add the bar at the bottom of a page or post instead of the top where it is now?
Nouman Younas says
Just installed it.. feeling great.
i installed it because of two reasons
its unique
you are reliable
Julian says
Thank you for this beautiful plugin. I am having one issue: If I activate the plugin, when clicking at a post, I get an access denied message from my htaccess (I protected /wp-admin directory). If I do not enter any credentials and click cancel, the page and the plugin loads and everything looks normal. Does your plugin require access to /wp-admin folder?
Editorial Staff says
It does call the ajax to update the count which is probably why you are getting that error.

Hello , great work with this plugin and in general
I have a question .
Is there a way to add my post rating php code in the bar , so it will float with the social buttons too .
It will be a nice future

Not yet, but there will be in the future via a hook.

Turn off the socialite, and the FB like button will work like the share.

Greg Moore says
Hi,
The instructions on this page say:
” Next, add your twitter ID in the field in the following format @wpbeginner.”
The instructions on the Settings page for the plugin say:
”Your twitter username when visitors retweet your posts (no @ symbol).”
Thanks in advance for clarifying this.
– Greg
Editorial Staff says
Sorry, that is our mistake. Fixed the instruction. Add twitter handle without the @ symbol.

Marcy Diaz says
Thank you for this plugin. I always appreciated that your social bar didn’t cover the post text while I was reading on an iPad, while many other plugins do. I also appreciate all your many tutorials; when I need to know how to do something with WordPress, your site is usually the first site I search, even before a general Google search.
Editorial Staff says
Thank you Marcy for your continuous support. We truly appreciate it.

Are there any plans to create an option to disable the number of shares display? For now I’m not activating it because of the big fat zeros. Will activate when there’s an option or I have decent numbers.
Editorial Staff says
Yes, in our next update which should hopefully go live later today, it will automatically hide the count if it is 0. If the count is higher then 0, then it will display.

Ray Mitchell says
This plugin is exactly what I need for my newly launched blog. Unfortunately, the row of 0 shares is depressing. Is there any thought to making the counters an option?
Katie says
Is there a way to customize it so it looks just like the way you have it on here? I installed it, but the font is different, it’s more spaced out between the buttons, and there isn’t the line dividers
Editorial Staff says
The customization on this site are done to match our design. We use a font called Oswald which has to be loaded first in the design before it can be used by the bar. It doesn’t make sense to load an external font that doesn’t match site design for thousands of users who use this plugin.
In short, if you would like to do that, then you can override the plugin CSS styles.
Administratör
Seda says
Thanks guys. This is an amazing plugin. Can you let us know how to add the line dividers like the one on your page here and change the font in css? I’m a newbie and don’t know css but i’m willing to give it a shot. What line in css should be changed to add the line dividers and change the fonts?
Thanks in advance and thanks for the best social media plugin out there.

Thanks for the plugin, but the value of every post is 0. !
