Nice Plug-In. Works pretty good. My only question would be: how can I adjust the space between the buttons: Look at http://www.weinveranstaltung.com .

For your site, it seems you’ve put it inside a widget at the top. You can simply add the following CSS inside your site (style.css) or within a custom css box:
#sidebar-header div { margin-bottom: 10px; }
I have followed the instructions to install the follow us badge for facebook and it does not appear on any of my webpages. I also updated wordpress to the latest version. Can you help?
Sure. Simply contact us via the support forum or through our contact us page with your site url and login credentials. Thx.
Hi all,
I’ve install the plug in “WPsocial” and is up and running almost perfect. If you take a look on http://littleportugal.com/ you will see the LinkedIn counter balloon is breaking the line and I manage to figure it out on the CSS.
It’s a “margin-left:1px;” on the classes “.IN-followcompany .title” that is comming from your API CSS file, more specificity, https://static.licdn.com/scds/concat/common/css?h=9i73gr3m3ljqmazeduaifb57y
I tried already to over-right this through my custom CSS and my theme CSS file, but I’m out of lucky.
Could you guys kindly help me fixing this?
Best Regards
Daniel Felgueiras

Hi Daniel – We do not have a plugin called “WPSocial”, however we do have a plugin called “WP Follow Us Badges” that is becoming quite popular. The link is here: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wpsite-follow-us-badges/
We can certainly try to help if you are using our plugin. You may already be in touch with us via the support forum here. https://www.wpsite.net/forums/forum/follow-us-badges/
Thank you.
I’ve downloaded plugin, thought settings are correct but like button takes me facebook where I’m told ‘this page isn’t unavailable, link is broken or page does not exist’. What am I missing? Thanks
Hi Jackie – It’s most likely that the link you are adding for Facebook is incorrect. Reply with the link you are using and we can check for you.
Hello! I’m a brand-new WP user and excited about the WP Follow Us Badges plug-in. Just installed, and my LinkedIn link works like a charm, but I’m having the same trouble as Jackie above with FB link pointing to “page not found or may have been taken down.” I’ve tried several links, playing with the https:// vs. just starting at www… (the URL given on our page settings within FB). Any advice? Really appreciate it!
We talked over email and solved the issue. Simply input just the username and not the full URL for Facebook.
Hello,
I am using your Social Media Follow us badge plugin. The space between the title and the buttons is huge. Would you please help me to solve this issue? Thank you for your help.

Hi, I’m using your plugin and it works like a charm !
But I have 2 questions:
1. I’m Dutch so I would to use the Dutch language for Twitter. It’s not supported bij your plugin but I know it’s exists. What can I do so I can use the Dutch language?
2. I’m using 3 icons and instead of above (= vertical) I would like to use them next to each other (= horizontal). Is that possible and if os how to achieve this?
My employer’s blog will be launching soon, and we are using your WP Follow Us Badges for Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and LinkedIn. We also have an Instagram page, and I am wondering/requesting if/for an Instagram button. Your plugin has worked the best for us so far, and we would like to stick with it, but lacking Instagram support is a bit of a drawback, as we plan to use the photo sharing platform quite extensively.
Is an Instagram button in the future for WP Follow Us Badges?
Thank you for the suggestion, Russell. Integrating Instagram sounds like a great idea and we will consider it for a future release. In the meantime, we will do our research and see if this is feasible with the Instagram API.
I’m having the same problem as “Jackiekodos” and “Claudia Aviles” above. When I put in my username for the Facebook button it goes to my personal page. I want it to got to my Page. The link doesn’t work. As well, the fb and twitter buttons are very big and I keep trying to resize with the options available but it never changes. Any help is much appreciate. Thanks.
Please submit the question on the support forum over at the plugin’s WordPress repository and we’ll gladly respond. I think this issue was already solved though. Upgrade to latest version.
How do I reduce the size of the LinkIn logo?
Thanks

Hello. Plugin has worked well since I installed it…the twitter and facebook links appeared where they should. However I went to my website today and they are no longer there. The Follow Us block on the right side appears…but the links are gone. I haven’t done any updating to my site over the past day that would have caused a problem.
In the settings, all is still setup. Do you have any idea why the links would disappear?
Thank you for any assistance.
Regards,
Richard
