How does one get “Help”? I really like the plugin, but I have tried on 4 sites with different themes and cannot get it to even load?
Thanks!

You should first read the FAQ, then if you still have the same problem (whatever that may be) then use the appropriate contact form to make sure your issue is noted and taken care of.

Hey,
I tried in joomla, but I cannot see them.
I installed the plugin and it was ok
I went to the plugin management and configure the buttons I want or don’t want to see.
save it
and the only thing I see it’s the words
sharing is sexy and a small dot.
however if I go through the buttons with the mouse
I see them when the cursor is on it, but if I move, it goes away again.
thanks
a.

I didn’t create nor do I maintain the Joomla extension version of my plugin… That is done by Alex at: http://www.ast-blog.de/joomla-sexy-bookmarks/
Please refer any questions regarding the Joomla version to him.
Thanks!

Hi
I don’t know why When I active this plugin do not show it in My web site !!
I set Menu Location (in relevance to content):Below Content
And My them Is http://www.elegantthemes.com/preview/eNews/
Please help me I really want use this plugin
08/26/09
Finally I found what problem was
The problem is The name of this plugin !!!
I live in Iran and I All of Islamic Government like Iran for example UAE,Saudi Arabia,And many other country block the “sexy†word so If you could please change this plugin name
08/27/09
I’m afraid that just isn’t possible.
I’m terribly sorry that your country places restrictions on just about every aspect of your life and what you can do with it, but I cannot change the name of the plugin for one user who is having problems when I have 23,000 others who are not.

You can manually wordaround the ‘Sexy’ issue by making some modifications to the plugin yourself.
I’ve posted some basic instructions on how to do this over at my blog. I’ve tested this against WebSense, which was my main agenda. I’m not sure how the word ’sexy’ within the page would work for you though…

So, I wasn’t sure where else to post this: The contact form for the site is not working. Seems to be a bug in the AJAX submit. It says, “please wait” (or the like) and just stalls there. I wanted to contact the author with question about the sprite file, but haven’t been able to.
09/9/09
Thanks for the heads up, I’ll check into that now…
I’ve also just emailed you to the address you listed in your comment settings.
09/9/09
Hi, Josh. I did get your email, but, when I replied, I got an undeliverable message from your your service provider. (Sorry, again, to use the post comments to alert you.)

This site is dedicated to the “WordPress” version of SexyBookmarks.
If you’re having troubles with the Joomla extension, you’ll need to talk to Alex (the creator of the Joomla extension) on his website.
You can find him here: http://www.ast-blog.de/joomla-sexy-bookmarks/
09/12/09
Josh, thanks for the super plugin. i’m using it on my blog for 2 months now. is there a way to prevent sexybookmarks from generating short urls when using previews? i’m using my own personal url shortener, and everytime i do a preview before publishing, it generates a short url. when i publish, it generates another. in essense, it generates two urls. if i dont do a preview and just publish right away, it works like a charm. i’ll wait for your response. thanks!
09/12/09
Wow, thanks for bringing that up… I hadn’t even thought about that!
I’ll get with Norman and see what he thinks as to whether or not this is a feasible possibility or not.
Thanks again!
09/14/09
hey ulysses, i think we’ll be looking into a solution for that. sounds like something we would want to fix.
09/14/09
Thanks, Norman. Looking forward to it. :) Cheers.

Hi Norman, Josh,
I found a workaround/fix for the issue with previews and published posts creating two URLs.
When a post is previewed – prior to publishing, the link created, for example, is: http://domain.com/??p=3720.
When it’s published, it becomes a permalink like this – that’s if you are using permalinks: http://domain.com/2009/09/21/title-of-article/.
Hence, two different URLs, although both links resolve to the same page.
I’ve added my own personal URL shortener in your plugin. My URL script shortener script creates two separate entries for each post if previewed. Only if previewed.
The fix/workaround is in public.php code:
`} elseif($sexy_plugopts['shorty'] == “urlshort”) {
if (get_post_status($post->ID) == ‘publish’) { $first_url = “http://urlshort.com/create.php?url=”.$perms; }
}`
This code checks if the post is published. If it’s not, it does not create a URL. It only creates when published.
I made changes to your latest plugin on my blog. It works like a charm.

Hi Ulysses,
We’re actually working on a solution that’s pretty similar to what you posted, and it should be ready in the next release… Just need to do some testing on it first.
09/16/09
I’m getting a weird mirroring aspect when viewing the plugin. Basically it’s as if the part that is normally hidden (Not selected) is stuck to the top. I’m guessing it’s something in my theme.
09/16/09
We’re having some issues with the most recent update… We will be updating again shortly with a fix.
Sorry!
09/16/09
Im having ans strange problem after last update.
Could you help me?
Check out any post at http://www.gamegen.com.br
The buttons are in the wrong place and the effect is wrong.
Thanks
09/16/09
Sorry for the issues with this version… We were trying to remove all “!important” rules from our stylesheet, but it has apparently been a complete failure in terms of working properly.
We’ll be adding the !important rules in again shortly which will then override your theme’s stylesheet properly to display the menu as it should.
Sorry!
09/17/09
Thanks. The last update ( a few minutes ago) fixed the bugs.
Let me ask you something, how do I use a custom backgroud?
Thanks
09/17/09
You would need to edit the background image “sexy-trans.png” that comes with the plugin.
09/16/09
Thank you this is amazing! can i change the my self the colours of “sharing is sexy” if YES how can i do this? i mean how to find file and reupload if NO its not problem cause buttons are really sexy :D
09/16/09
Well, the images aren’t dynamically changeable… but you can download the file itself and change it, then re-upload it to your sever.
It should be located at:
http://yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/sexybookmarks/images/sexy-trans.png
09/17/09
Hi,
Loving your plugin, however just auto-updated to the latest version (2.5.3.2) and now my buttons don’t pop up when you hover over them?
Does this problem just exist with me or is it a problem with all? Fix appreciated.
09/23/09
I suddenly started getting this error message on all pages with the sexy bookmark. Any ideas please?
PHP Warning: file_get_contents(http://e7t.us/create.php?url=http://www.businesscomputingworld.co.uk/?p=856) [function.file-get-contents]: failed to open stream: HTTP request failed! HTTP/1.1 404 Not Found in D:\inetpub\wwwroot\businesscomputingworld\wp-content\plugins\sexybookmarks\public.php on line 50
09/23/09
Hello, please select a different URL shortening service than http://e7t.us
I’m currently working out some issues with that serivce, but until that time, you’ll need to use a different service.
Select your new service, and also select the “Clear all short URLs” option, then save your changes. This will remedy the error.
09/23/09
Any help with my above issue?
09/24/09
Sorry, I apparently missed your comment…
I just checked your site and it seems that something is going on with your stylesheet that shouldn’t be.
I found a fix, and will include it in a future update soon.
Otherwise, if you’d like, you can email me using the contact form(s) in the menu at the top of the page and I can guide you through the process to fix it until then.
Thanks!
09/24/09
OK, I absolutely LOVE this plugin but can’t get it to work on my site, spatterblog.com. Let me just say I’m not a techie but I’m learning on my own… I read your F.A.Q where u advised to check the stylsheet for !important and I did that but didn’t find it in my CSS. What could be the problem?
09/25/09
Hmm, it looks like it’s working to me: http://spatterblog.com/?p=1130
Either you already found the problem, or maybe it was just a fluke?
09/25/09
thanks! i’m an idiot, had it set to display only for posts, not pages. that’s what i get for tweeking my blog at 2am….. thanks again
10/25/09
Very nice!!! and best of all.. SEXY!!! thanks for this.

Hi, I am having trouble configuring the plugin, WP 2.86 I installed it from the ‘plugins, ad new, install, activate) No errors, but when I try to go to settings>sexy bookmarks, all I get is a blank page, no errors, just blank…
I tried deactivating and reactivating, no luck- any ideas?
12/4/09
Sounds as though the automatic installer didn’t work for you… You may try doing it manually via ftp. Login with ftp to your server, delete the sexybookmarks plugin files (if there are any) that the automatic install created, then download the file, unzip, and upload to your server manually using ftp. This will ensure that the files don’t get corrupted, misplaced, or broken during the installation.
12/5/09
thanks for the suggestion- I tried that, and no change- I just submitted a bug report with some more details, I LOVE the plugin so hopefully we can get it to work.
It is actually ‘working’ right now, on the blog when it is activated, but I can’t change any settings. :-(
12/6/09
frnd i have try to install the sexybookmark v2 in my blog http://sharethetricks.blogspot.com
also i have uploaded the image (icon ) to tinypic.com and i used it,but the bookmark icons are not visible pls,help me …my blog is customised template.
12/14/09
Hi Josh, First of all.. thanks for a great plugin.
OK I’m hoping there’s an easy way to always have the pics expanded without hover and to underline each with a title ie.. under the twitter pic have ‘Twitter’ etc?
I have so many blogs and this little change will make all the difference to me so if you could help it would be much appreciated.
Lou

There’s no “option” to set the plugin to display in this way if that’s what you’re asking… However, if you choose the “Use custom mods” option, then you can edit the new stylesheet it creates and set the background positions accordingly so that they will display the “expanded” version of each icon at all times.

My theme’s stylesheet extensively uses “!important”. I’m very new to blogging and don’t have any CSS experience. Is it possible to make sexybookmarks work with my theme? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
01/8/10
Hmm… Themes that use “!important” don’t necessarily mess up the plugin… I was just stating that *could* be a contributing factor if you’re having issues.
It looks like the plugin is working just fine on your site as it is now: http://amandahyde.com/2010/01/08/25/

Thank you so much for the wonderful plugin, Josh! I was looking for a nice plugin for bookmarking via social networks, and I must say, yours is the best!
01/24/10
