Google Plus profile share not showing on post WordPress

Joss Frimond comments:

Hi Hariprasad,

No I mean't all the single posts in the blog category!

None of them have the share google profile on them.

Kind regards

Joss

Hariprasad Vijayan comments:

Hi Joss,

For clarification,

Just need a share on the bottom of www.linguaid.net/blog or need share on each post listed on www.linguaid.net/blog

Let me know

Thanks

Joss Frimond comments:

I need a share on each post listed. Every single one.

Hariprasad Vijayan comments:

Popular social share plugins have an option for enabling share button display location in its setting. I think there might be an option for enabling Google Plus Share for categories. Have you check settings?

Joss Frimond comments:

Hi Hariprasad,

Like I said, I'm NOT interested in sharing the category. The Google Profile is not showing on each blog post. That is what I want fixing.

Hariprasad Vijayan comments:

It is not about sharing category, it is just enabling post share on category page

Joss Frimond comments:

Hi Arnav,

It is the Jetpack plugin with the Google+ profile setting. By the way, I have WP 3.5.

Arnav Joy comments:

if you are doing it using jetpack plugin and have changed profile image then try to reconnect the jetpack from wordpress admin panel .

Joss Frimond comments:

I have disconnected and reconnected. Still nothing on: http://www.linguaid.net/test-post-doesnt-mean-anything

Joss Frimond comments:

Yes

Dbranes comments:

I think this JetPack function is responsible for displaying the Google+ Profile:


function post_output_wrapper( $text = '', $echo = false ) {
global $post, $wp_current_filter;

if ( !is_single() )
return $text;
if ( get_post_type() != 'post' )
return $text;
$author = $this->information( $post->post_author );
if ( empty( $author ) )
return $text;

// Don't allow G+ to be added to the_content more than once (prevent infinite loops)
$done = false;
foreach ( $wp_current_filter as $filter ) {
if ( 'the_content' == $filter ) {
if ( $done )
return $text;
else
$done = true;
}
}

if ( !$this->show_on_this_post())
return $text;

$output = '';
$output .= '<div class="sharedaddy sd-block sd-social sd-gplus">';
$output .= '<h3 class="sd-title">' . __( 'Google+', 'jetpack' ) . '</h3>';
$output .= '<div class="sd-content">';
$output .= $this->byline( $post );
$output .= $this->follow_button( $post );
$output .= '</div>';
$output .= '</div>';

if ( $echo )
echo $text . $output;
else
return $text . $output;
}


So it seems to allow only <em>post </em> as post-type.

Is that true in your case?

Dbranes comments:

... or maybe the post author is not in the <em>gplus_authors </em> options.

You can check it with for example:

print_r( get_option( 'gplus_authors', array() ) );

and it should have an array key matching to the <em>$post->post_author</em> number.

Joss Frimond comments:

thanks Dbranes but I don't know what to do exactly? Can you be a bit more clear in your explanation?

Dbranes comments:

So I think the <strong>Google+</strong> Profile block will only display if:


- the post-type is <em>post</em>.
- <em>is_single()</em> is true
- the post author is defined in the <em>gplus_authors</em> option,
( i.e. if you have many authors writing posts on your blog, it will only show up on your own posts).


Joss Frimond comments:

where is the gplus_authors option? Are you looking at the Linguaid site?

Dbranes comments:

Try to add this into your <em>functions.php</em> file in the current theme directory:

add_action( 'wp_footer', function(){
$msg = 'Google+ profile';
if( array_key_exists( get_post( get_the_ID() )->post_author, get_option( 'gplus_authors', array() ) ) )
$msg .= ' - The current post author id matches the G+ author!';

echo $msg;
});


It should display messages in the footer, or maybye this:

add_action( 'wp_footer', function(){
printf( '<h1>debug:</h1>
<pre>post-author-id: %d </pre>
<pre>"gplus_authors" option: %s </pre>',
get_post( get_the_ID() )->post_author,
print_r( get_option( 'gplus_authors', array() ), TRUE )
);
});


if you need more debug informations. I assume you got PHP 5.3+.

Joss Frimond comments:

sorry, neither of those work - they both add code to the blog post

Dbranes comments:

can you be more specific? what kind of code?

Then please try this PHP 5.2 compatiable code in functions.php :


add_action( 'wp_footer', 'my_debug' );

function my_debug()
{
if( is_single() )
{
printf( '<hr/>post author id is %d', $GLOBALS['post']->post_author );
printf( '<hr/>gplus_authors option is <pre>%s</pre>', print_r( get_option( 'gplus_authors', array() ), TRUE ) );
}
}



Dbranes comments:

ps: did you remember the enclosing <em><?php ?></em> part ?

Joss Frimond comments:

Hi Dbranes,

Here is the content of the functions file. Can you add in your code please? For the moment, nothing works:

<?php
//Please note that this is a Parent Theme's functions.php file,
//any code you added will be gone if you do an upgrade.
//You are advised to use a child theme and add your own custom functions to the child theme's functions.php
//check WP_DEBUG
//Some plugins such as wpcu3er will disable PHP error reporting,
//therefore we must make sure it is turn on if WP_DEBUG is set to true.
if(defined('WP_DEBUG') == 1 || WP_DEBUG == true){
$error_setting = ini_get("display_errors");
if($error_setting == '0'){
ini_set('display_errors', '1');
}
}
//Check if PHP error reporting is enabled.
//if it is enabled, we will only ALLOW PHP fatal error, syntax error, parse errors etc to show only.
$php_error_setting = ini_get("display_errors");
if($php_error_setting == '1'){
//if you wnat to know what are these constants,
//reference to http://www.php.net/manual/en/errorfunc.constants.php
error_reporting(E_ALL & ~E_STRICT & ~E_NOTICE & ~E_WARNING & ~ E_DEPRECATED & ~ E_USER_NOTICE);
}
// Required TrueThemes Framework - do not edit or theme will fail!
require_once(TEMPLATEPATH . '/truethemes_framework/truethemes_framework_init.php');
// Load translation text domain
load_theme_textdomain ('truethemes_localize');
?>
function my_debug()

{

if( is_single() )

{

printf( '<hr/>post author id is %d', $GLOBALS['post']->post_author );

printf( '<hr/>gplus_authors option is <pre>%s</pre>', print_r( get_option( 'gplus_authors', array() ), TRUE ) );

}

}

Dbranes comments:

ok, two things there:

- remove the ?> part
- copying code from this site can give you extra new lines

Here's a cleaned up version of your <em>functions.php</em> file:

Hi Dbranes,

Please see http://www.linguaid.net/test-post-doesnt-mean-anything for latest results. i copied the code for the pastebin link.

Thanks

I constructed this fix that you can try out:

Joss Frimond comments:

is this to paste over the whole functions.php page please?

Thanks

Dbranes comments:

Add this to your <em>functions.php</em> file.

(you can remove the previous debug code, it shows that the post author id matches gplus author info)

Joss Frimond comments:

Hi Dbranes,

I found out what the problem is. It is a conflict with the WMPL multi-lingual plugin. When I deactivate it, the google profile works.

The problem is, I really need the plugin as it is a bilingual site. I have changed themes but no luck.

Do you know how to resolve the conflict with an external plugin ?

Kind regards

Joss
