Hi Tom, I would like to place the WPSP Social Icons (class=”wpsp-social”) in each post. Is there a Shortcode for this?

Regards,
Sebastian

Hi there,

You mean in the single post itself (not WPSP)?

Typically this plugin doesn’t add/modify the theme you’re using, it only affects the list of posts.

However, you could try making a shortcode out of this function:

if ( $social_sharing && function_exists( 'wpsp_social_sharing' ) ) :
	echo wpsp_social_sharing( get_the_ID(), $twitter = true, $facebook = true, $googleplus = true, $pinterest = true, $love = true, $social_sharing_alignment = 'left' );
	wp_enqueue_script( 'wpsp-love-it' );
endif;

Hi Tom, yes exactly. I want to take social_sharing from WPSP and place it in a single post.

I’ve tried, it does not work. I’m not a good coder, sorry 🙁 can you help me please?

What am I doing wrong?

add_shortcode( 'wpsp_social_sharing', 'wpsp_social_sharing_shortcode' );
function wpsp_social_sharing_shortcode() { 
	if ( $social_sharing && function_exists( 'wpsp_social_sharing' ) ) :
		echo wpsp_social_sharing( get_the_ID(), $twitter = true, $facebook = true, $googleplus = true, $pinterest = true, $love = true, $social_sharing_alignment = 'left' );
		wp_enqueue_script( 'wpsp-love-it' );
	endif;
}

I tried and it worked. But I do not understand one thing.

get_the_title() is output at the exact location, where I placed the shortcode [xxx_wpsp_social_sharing] in the post content. The social icons, however, are at the top left on the website. Why?

function wpsp_social_sharing_shortcode() {
	return get_the_title() . wpsp_social_sharing( get_the_ID(), $twitter = true, $facebook = true, $googleplus = true, $pinterest = true, $love = true );
	wp_enqueue_script( 'wpsp-love-it' );
}
add_shortcode( 'xxx_wpsp_social_sharing', 'wpsp_social_sharing_shortcode' );

Hmm, you could try this:

function wpsp_social_sharing_shortcode() {
    ob_start();
    echo get_the_title() . wpsp_social_sharing( get_the_ID(), $twitter = true, $facebook = true, $googleplus = true, $pinterest = true, $love = true );
    wp_enqueue_script( 'wpsp-love-it' );
    $output_string = ob_get_contents();
    ob_end_clean();

    return $output_string;
}
add_shortcode( 'xxx_wpsp_social_sharing', 'wpsp_social_sharing_shortcode' );
