[Support request] WPSP Social Links

Hi,

I don’t see any videos or video links on the site. (and/or on your reply above if you intended to add one.)

Also, I don’t see any errors on my end. Can you explain in more detail? Perhaps an image of the error? Thank you. 🙂

Hi there,

Thanks for reporting this. Fixed the Pinterest thing in the next update. For now, you can change the source code if you’d like.

Go to wp-content/plugins/wp-show-posts-pro/social-sharing/social-sharing.php and find line: 191

You’ll see this:

if ( isset( $pinterestURL ) && $pinterest ) {
    printf(
        '<a title="%1$s" class="wpsp-social-link wpsp-pinterest" href="%2$s" %3$s">
            <span class="screen-reader-text">%4$s</span>
        </a>',
        esc_attr__( 'Pinterest','wp-show-posts-pro' ),
        esc_url( $pinterestURL ),
        'target="_blank"',
        __( 'Pinterest','wp-show-posts-pro' )
    );
}

Replace it with this:

if ( isset( $pinterestURL ) && $pinterest ) {
    printf(
        '<a title="%1$s" class="wpsp-social-link wpsp-pinterest" href="%2$s" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">
            <span class="screen-reader-text">%3$s</span>
        </a>',
        esc_attr__( 'Pinterest','wp-show-posts-pro' ),
        esc_url( $pinterestURL ),
        __( 'Pinterest','wp-show-posts-pro' )
    );
}

The other issues with the FB and Twitter links are because those aren’t actually links – they open a small window using javascript instead of linking to a whole new page.

Let me know if you need more info 🙂

You’re welcome 🙂

We could look at buttons, but I don’t believe the current implementation will actually harm your SEO.

You can always look at replacing the social links with another solution if you’re worried about it. We will likely be re-writing the entire feature once we re-write the plugin to work as a block.
