  1. Hi,
    I have two questions… If I change from Social Warfare to this plugin will I lose all my social counts or can they be transferred?
    Does it have Pinterest included?
    Thanks,
    Lisa

    • Hi,

      If you decide to use our social counter plugin, it will have to be configured like in the guide, but with a few extra requirements https://forum.tagdiv.com/tagdiv-social-counter-tutorial-2/ Some socials now require connecting accounts in the theme panel, or using API keys. There aren’t any transfer options from other similar plugins unfortunately. Also take into account that our plugin may not have all the socials like the plugin you mention. You can however give it a try first and then decide.

      Thank you!

    • Hi,

      Maybe there are issues with it. I suggest sending us an email at contact@tagdiv.com and there please provide a link to the website and admin login. We will take a look at the counter and how it is configured. Let us know.

      Thank you!

    • Hi,

      Indeed, Instagram has changed its API and that’s why the element is not working well. We have made the changes according to the new Instagram implementation and we are waiting for approval by the Instagram these modifications so we can include them in future updates.

      All the best!

      • This addon is terrible….

        Half of them working the another half of not. In the description there is Viemeo, but really there is no… you can not see the follower.
        But true others also dont show them…

        Do we have another easy solution to have social links?

        • Hello,

          Unfortunately, at the moment, there’s an only way for displaying your social counter. If you do not like this one, feel free and try using other plugins that have this functionality but please note that we cannot provide support for these.

          Best regards!

          • Hello,

            The problem it is not working :s I was thinking about fix your code, but then I will loose everything on your update.
            Would be good if you would fix the problems, and it would start to workd.
            For me the youtube channel countrar not woking at all it is 0, but if I clikc on it I arrive to the right place. So I think the id is good.
            The instagram the same.
            And the description is talking about Vimeo, but there is no possibility to give any vimeo ID for the counter.

            Will you fix these error soon? In some days, or we as users should change to another solutions?

            Thanks!

          • Hello,

  32. Hi, i have a problem. My social counter widget don’t display the style select field. I can’t select the style of Social Counter from my sidebar widget. How can i do? Thank you

    • Hi,

      Unfortunately, that option is no longer available in the Widgets section from the panel, sorry! We strongly recommend creating your widgets using the TD Composer and split the ROW into more columns where you can add your desired section as sidebar/widget. If you need more assistance in this case, please open a new topic at our support forum from here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/forum/newspaper/ because the blog is not assigned to the support team.

      Thank you!
      Best regards!

  33. I’m using this in a sidebar widget, but there is no dropdown to change the style anymore. Is that only available if you use the plugin in TagDiv Composer?

  34. I need help because the plugin doesnot update the instagram follow count…it is frozen. Even the foter instagram section does not update to show new images in my website

  35. Hi,
    Great widget.

    – All works fine except for instagram. I have to update manually.
    – I have no youtube page, so it’s empty but still display with 0 fan. Possible to delete youtube?
    Thank’s a lot.

    • Hi,

      The social counter will display values if there are IDs in the required fields. If you don’t want to display the YouTube counter, remove the ID or channel from the field https://prnt.sc/oxi78j -> https://prnt.sc/oxi7la In some cases there could be issues that prevent the counter from working properly or displaying the correct values. Try as a test to use a different ID, for example https://prnt.sc/oxi84y then switch again to your own.

      Thank you!

  36. The issue i am having right now is anytime my social widget is clicked on, i shows “Sorry, this page isn’t available” for all my social links

    • Hi,

      Maybe the data that you entered in the social counter is incorrect. If you want us to take a look, please create a new topic in the theme support forum and provide a link to where we can see the social counter on your website. Let us know.

      Thank you!

  37. Hello,

    I configured this plugin and everything is working fine, but the plugin doesn’t update the number of fans or followers in my social networks. Is there a cache I have to clean or something? Thanks in advance!

    Regards,
    Georgi

Please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information so we can take a closer look at your setup configuration. Also, please provide the CPanel for deeper investigations.

      Thank you!

  42. Hello,

    When I add the Facebook ID, the social counter still show 0 Fans. Is there something to do on Facebook as well for it to work ?

    • Hi,

      I have made some tests and this functionality seems to returns good results, as you can see here -> https://www.screencast.com/t/LFmddGjNS Make sure if you have correctly added the Facebook ID, clear all the caches, purge CDN files and check the results. Also, ensure that you are using the latest version of the theme and required plugins if you want to achieve good theme results. If the problem is still there, please send us an email at contact@tagdiv.com with your log-in information (wp-admin) so we can take a closer look at your setup page.

      Thank you!

  43. I m sorry if the question is too silly, but I m new in WordPress. Does Newspaper include a “Contact form”?, I do not see it in the demos or examples, I need it to allow people who visits my site, sending messages to me. Thanks.
