Only display link to author social media when it exists [closed]

This is a very simple PHP issue, unrelated to WordPress. You need to check if the value is empty before echoing it. So, store them as variables first: $twitter = get_the_author_meta(‘twitter’, $author_id); $facebook = get_the_author_meta(‘facebook’, $author_id); //etc Then check them before displaying: if(!empty($twitter)) { echo ‘<a title=”Follow me on Twitter” href=”‘.$twitter.'”><img src=”twitter.png” alt=”” /></a>’; } … Read more

Is there a way to change a post’s thumbnail image(s)?

Facebook scrapes your pages for images to go along with the post you share. When it finds an image on the page it will use that. To specify which image exactly you have to use Open Graph tags in the head part of you html page. The og:image tag in particular: <meta property=”og:image” content=”http://graphics.myfavnews.com/images/logo-100×100.jpg” /> … Read more

How to generate “og:image” meta for Facebook sharing when the image in the post is not featured?

As was already stated, Facebook automatically detects images if the OG image tag is missing. However, in some cases, it might detect other images (e.g. not from your post but from other content). In that case, it can be useful to fetch a list of all images attached to the post and use the one … Read more

Social sharing post’s shortlink instead of permalink

I very much doubt you can universally “trick” all plugins without touching at least some of some plugin code, but I think your best bet would be filters on the_permalink and post_link, and maybe pre_post_link. Even if you got that working it would be pretty “heavy”. That is, a lot of processing happens before you … Read more

Retrieving Google Plus share count with wp_remote_post

I see that the question is 2 years old, but I worked hard two days to find solution of the very same problem and here is my code (for me works 100%). $json_string = wp_remote_request(‘https://clients6.google.com/rpc’, array( ‘method’ => ‘POST’, ‘body’ => ‘[{“method”:”pos.plusones.get”,”id”:”p”,”params”:{“nolog”:true,”id”:”‘.rawurldecode(get_permalink()).'”,”source”:”widget”,”userId”:”@viewer”,”groupId”:”@self”},”jsonrpc”:”2.0″,”key”:”p”,”apiVersion”:”v1″}]’, ‘headers’ => array(‘Content-Type’ => ‘application/json’) )); $json = json_decode($json_string[‘body’], true); if(isset($json[0][‘result’][‘metadata’][‘globalCounts’][‘count’])){ echo intval($json[0][‘result’][‘metadata’][‘globalCounts’][‘count’]); … Read more

Get total social share count (Facebook, Twitter, Google+. Pinterest)

Okay. @ialocin made a note about Transients. By some odd reason, I have not come across this yet. Previously, I used to display counts by: jQuery (client side loading) Page caching (when storing counts locally) Cron updating count values And most recently, stored all counts in post meta and updated the meta every 100 loading … Read more

List repeating share links

There are a couple of problems with your code: You have to close the PHP context, if you want to output plain HTML: function foo(){ ?><strong><?php } Don’t repeat yourself. Always store repeating values in variables or functions. Writing <a href more than once is a bug. Do not use get_the_title() in attributes. Use the_title_attribute( … Read more
