Getting Started with Network Display #

Before using any display method, you must first set up your networks in the plugin settings. If this step is skipped, the display button will not appear.

Adding Profile Buttons as Floating Sidebar #

The option can be enabled from the Profile Links -> Floating Sidebar menu. When enabled you will see static and privacy safe profile links floating on the selected side of the screen. Example:

Floating sidebar options:

  • Floating sidebar position – select the screen placement of the bar. If you already use a sidebar display for share buttons or have a different plugin showing sidebar elements, choose the opposite side of existing designs. Otherwise, you may see buttons overlap each existing component.
  • Do not show on mobile devices – the floating sidebar may be a reading blocking method based on the device. That is why we recommend this option to be enabled and hide the bar on mobile devices.
  • Remove spacing between buttons – if enabled all of your buttons will be connected without space between (like a real sidebar component).
  • Buttons template – choose a template for the buttons. As that is a floating sidebar that may appear over various sections full-color templates are recommended. The templates are the same as in the Followers Counter module.
  • Button size – allow to change the size of each button to smaller or bigger.
  • Animation – add an eye-catching animation on hover of the buttons.
  • ​Exclude display on – specify post types, post IDs, or URLs where the floating sidebar won’t be displayed (example: checkout or cart page of your online shop).
