WordPress Slideshow SE Plugin Tutorials:
Hi. Nice plugin you made by the way!
My issue is that when i’m posting something to my facebook page, trough facebook social plugin, the post, right under the image is showing alot of description. Can you help?
Hi Andrei, thank you for your comment. I am not the developer of this great plugin, the developers name is Stefan Boonstra. I am just a helper that from time to time likes to help :) In regards to your question, which social plugin are you currently using? You mentioned facebook social plugin but I can’t find that plugin in wordpress.org.
Kind regards
The Facebook plugin is this https://wordpress.org/plugins/facebook/
But at the moment i’m using SNAP Social Network Auto Poster https://wordpress.org/plugins/social-networks-auto-poster-facebook-twitter-g/ and is happening the same thing. Might me a SNAP issue, not the slider :P … DOHHH
Thanks for the reply.
Hi Andrei, yes it could be a Snap issue. Sometimes plugin conflicts can be a bit tricky to detect. I hope the conflict is resolved soon for you.
Kind regards
