    • Template – this is the template, used to show the followers counter. You can choose any of the existing templates but we recommend to use the full-color background to ensure great results all the time (example: Metro).
    • Apply animation – add a hover animation to the followers floating sidebar. The animation you choose here will appear only on the sidebar.
    • Without space between buttons – the option will remove the space between buttons. They will look fully connected.
    • Choose button layout style – the style of the button depends on the result you need to achieve. The vertical button provides better design experience but you can use it with a few networks only (due to the layout). 
    • Choose a position on screen – select the position on the screen edge. If you use already another sidebar on your site (example: Share buttons), choose the opposite side.
    • Customize the width of a button – provide a custom width of the button. Buttons come with a default size but sometimes when you do a change of the text for followers, or if you use a full value, not all buttons may look the same. Use the field to correct the value – numeric values only.

    Exclude Display On

    Allow excluding the function on specific places of your website. You can limit the button by:

    • Post types – choose the post types where the button for image Pin won’t be added.
    • Deactivate on the following post IDs – exclude display on posts or pages with specific ID – example 15,20,25
    • Deactivate on the following URLs – exclude display on specific URLs of your website. One per line without the domain name. Use (.*) wildcards to address multiple URLs under a given path. Example: /profile/(.*)
