Documentation

Social Butterfly makes it so easy for admins to use, it should have been called Simple Butterfly! Once the plugin has been installed and activated, simply navigate to the plugin settings page (accessible from Settings > Social Butterfly or the Settings link on the plugins admin page under the Social Butterfly plugin) and then:

1) Select the networks you would like to include.

2) Customize style settings.

3) Select whether to include Social Butterfly automatically on all posts above the content, below the content, or both.

Note: Social Butterfly allows you to override these default display settings on individual post edit pages. Selecting the “Override all individual post settings with these new settings” option here will override all custom post settings. If you want to maintain your existing post override settings (for example, to hide Social Butterfly on certain posts) then *do not select this option*.

Custom Post Settings

Let’s say you want to include the plugin on all your posts except for a couple. Maybe your “Terms of Use” is a post and you don’t really want to include Social Butterfly here. The best way to do this is to set your default options on the plugin settings page to include Social Butterfly on all posts, then override this setting on the individual posts where you don’t want Social Butterfly to be included:

1) Navigate to the edit page of the post.

2) Select “Override default settings on this post”. Checking this box will enable the options below.

3) Set Social Butterfly to show or not show on this particular post.

4) Save your post. That’s all!
