The plugin is set up so that the buttons and the pages on which they appear are disabled by default when the plugin is first installed. This is to prevent any buttons appearing on your WordPress site without you first configuring the panel options.
To activate the buttons go to the plugin options page – click the plugin settings link in WordPress admin menu –> Settings –> Slick Social Share Buttons.
In the settings page select the buttons you wish to add to your website by checking the box next to each button name.
Then select the pages/types of pages you would like to add the buttons to by selecting the relevant checkboxes in the panel titled “Display Pages For Social Share Buttons”.
Click “Save” to update the settings.
If Still No Buttons Appear …
Check your theme’s footer file, which is usually called “footer.php”. Make sure that this contains the standard WordPress footer function – wp_footer() – this is where the buttons are inserted into your website page.
The code usually occurs just before the closing body tag and would look something like:
<?php wp_footer(); ?> </body> </html>

I just installed this plugin this morning, set and saved settings. Checked footer (looked fine to me), and loaded in three different browsers, once with the floating setting and once with the slider. I have YET to see anything load on my posts or pages. Not sure what to try next? Is it my theme?
Hi,
If there is no button code appearing in the page then this is probably caused by the footer missing the wp_footer() function
It WAS my theme, which I changed but now the tab for the slider is covering up the top two sharing buttons….any suggestions?
Check the “Default Skin” box in the options page
That worked, but the facebook button isn’t showing up in Chrome. And, actually neither is yours. Does work in FireFox though. Thank you!
It may be a local problem with facebook. Should clear soon hopefully
Hi Lee,
I have installed the Slick Social Share buttons plugin into my WordPress 3.3.1 website using Genesis Framework with Crystal Child theme. But I can not see any buttons on my pages. I have searched for the ‘footer file’ as you told other people, but don’t know where to look? I have emptied the browsers cache, but no buttons appear. I have tried checking the “Default Skin” checkbox in the plugin settings page, but no buttons appear.
Can you please tell me what I must do to fix this problem?
Thanks,
Simon Brushfield
Hi,
Have you checked the boxes in the panel that says: “Select the pages where you wish the button panel to appear:”?
There is no code in the footer or the header of your website pages, which suggests that it hasnt been activated yet for those areas
Hi Lee,
The share tab kind of shows on my website but unusually only on certain pages. It is supposed to show in the top right but doesn’t show on the home page along with about 50% of the other pages, any ideas? Thanks
Hi,
Check if the pages where its not showing have any javascript errors, which may prevent it from loading. You can use firebug to check the page
I’m really excited to use this plugin but I can’t get it to work on my site. Nothing is showing up?
Hi,
The buttons are appearing on the blog post pages
I love the plugin! But I can not make it work on my website. Already activated it, set and saved, but nothing happens. Is it some bug in the code of my site?
Hi,
The galleria WP plugin looks like it loads jquery twice, which will break other jquery based plugins
FYI for anyone else out there….
I was having trouble with the buttons not showing up and had to disable my caching plugin. Once I stopped caching the plugin worked perfectly.
Thanks for a great plugin!
Hi
Thanks for the info
Hi,
I can’t get it to work either sorry. Would love to have it on my site but the tabs are not displaying even though I saved the settings.
Is there something else I have missed? Thanks!
Hi,
In your settings where it says “Position From Center … pixels” change the current “50px” to “50″
Plugin is not working for me either.
I’ve followed all steps but I can’t get the floating bar to show up (bottom left).
Thanks for any help you can provide.
Hi,
In your theme footer.php file the wp_footer() function appears to be inserted inside the footer div tag. The footer tag has overflow set to hidden so you cant see the buttons.
Move the wp_footer() code out of the page template and place it just before the closing body tag – e.g.
I am having trouble with this as well. I checked the footer and also made sure that the default skin was selected. However it is not showing up in posts.
Hi,
It looks like the footer is missing as the page is also missing the closing body and html tags in the source code, which usually is the last in the template.
If you can send me a copy of the theme I will check the footer file
I followed the instructions and the buttons are not showing up for me either.
Hi,
It looks like your theme footer may be missing the wp_footer() function as no code is appearing in the bottom of the page.
Check your footer.php file for the following code:
I love the look of this – but it isn’t working for me, even after I read this page. I activated the plug, then went to the settings and checked the pages, saved. Still nothing!?
Hi,
There doesnt appear to be any CSS to style the buttons. Either add your custom CSS to your theme files or use the default CSS by checking the “Default Skin” checkbox in the plugin settings page
