How can I place the social widgets in a custom location on my website?
Place the code:
<?php show_social_widget(); ?>
in your template file where you wish for them to appear. Alternatively you can also use the short tag [socializethis] in your blog posts.
How can I make the social widget icons smaller when they post to my blog?
In the Socialize This Admin menu (yourblog.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=socialize-this/socialize-this.php) under the “Templates” header you can modify the HTML which your icons are displayed with. So for example you can replace the ‘%widget%’ variable with the code:
<img src="%widget_url%" width="24px" height="24px" alt="%widget_alt%" title="%widget_alt%" />
You can also change the icons shown by replacing them in the /img/ folder.
How do I adjusted the position of the widgets?
You can adjusted the position of the icons using CSS, for example:
<div style="text-align:center;"><?php show_social_widgets(); ?></div>
Will center the icons. Or (in version 1.6 & above) you can edit the CSS for the id 'socialize-this'.
How do I enable cURL?
To enable cURL, you need to uncomment it in the php.ini file then restart Apache and PHP. In most cases you will need to ask your web host to do this for you. If you need more help stackoverflow has a question on this topic.
