Why this plugin only works as the site is open to visitors.?
With the advent of the themes with a landing page, the usefulness of this plugin has been very limited and that is a shame because it works very well.!
When the site is closed for visitors, the members also want to share the site on the social media.!
Really a shame.....
I felt sory for my self and for you when i faced the same problem ....
BUT after a quick search in the plugin's code i found the responsible code
If you have FTP access to your website
go to the plugins forlder
open the social_share plugin
go to the components folder
edit index_share_buttons_widget.php
Replace this part :
***************************************
if ( !OW::getConfig()->getValue('socialsharing', 'api_key') || OW::getConfig()->getValue('base', 'guests_can_view') != 1 || OW::getConfig()->getValue('base', 'maintenance') ) { $this->setVisible(false); return; }
**************************************
By this one :
******************************************
if ( !OW::getConfig()->getValue('socialsharing', 'api_key') || OW::getConfig()->getValue('base', 'maintenance') ) { $this->setVisible(false); return; }
******************************************
There's a second file : open share_buttons.php (in the same folder)
And replace :
******************************************
if ( OW::getConfig()->getValue('base', 'guests_can_view') != 1 || OW::getConfig()->getValue('base', 'maintenance')) { $this->setVisible(false); }
******************************************
By this :
******************************************
if ( OW::getConfig()->getValue('base', 'maintenance')) { $this->setVisible(false); }
******************************************
Hope this can help !
