Title: Code conflict Last modified: January 17, 2020 --- # Code conflict * Resolved [callaloo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/callaloo/) * (@callaloo) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-conflict-3/) * Hi. I have incorporated this plugin’s SVGs extensively throughout my site. But the first code is preventing the second from showing the icons sitewide except on posts. Is there a way to resolve this conflict? * **Code 1**\ } * ``` // Scriptless social sharing buttons before and after content add_action( 'generate_before_content', 'my_share_buttons'); add_action( 'generate_after_content', 'my_share_buttons'); function my_share_buttons() { if ( is_single() ) { echo do_shortcode( '[scriptless]' ); } } ``` * **Code 2** * ``` //Show scriptless buttons on archive pages add_filter( 'scriptlesssocialsharing_can_do_buttons', 'prefix_add_buttons_archives' ); function prefix_add_buttons_archives( $cando ) { if (is_home() || is_tax() || is_category() || is_404() ) { $cando = true; } return $cando; } ``` * Theme is GeneratePress free version.

In that case, it’s not a conflict between your two functions, necessarily; it’s more that the first one is incomplete because it is running only when `is_single()` is true, and if the locations are disabled, then the plugin would be expecting you to handle this manually. I would suggest modifying your first function to be more in line with your second, something like this: * ``` add_action( 'generate_before_content', 'my_share_buttons' ); add_action( 'generate_after_content', 'my_share_buttons' ); function my_share_buttons() { if ( is_single() || is_home() || is_tax() || is_category() || is_404() ) { echo do_shortcode( '[scriptless]' ); } } ``` * You may need to have “Manual” checked for the button locations as the stylesheet may not print with the buttons outside of the content (this is due to an error which will be resolved in the next release). * Thread Starter [callaloo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/callaloo/) * (@callaloo) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-conflict-3/#post-12337007) * I selected the manual location in the plugin settings before using the shortcode. I use the hooks before and after content because the default hooks you use makes the buttons’ text to appear inside my schema body text. I like how you use the IDs and the shorter SVG links and that’s why I use them. Or could you suggest a way for me to use the SVG sprite for my custom links independent of the plugin?( In the meantime, I have used your provided code but hidden all buttons except on single posts with `display:none`. However, I am looking for a solution to only load the icons used on a particular page, archive, taX, etc) * Plugin Author [Robin Cornett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/littlerchicken/) * (@littlerchicken) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-conflict-3/#post-12337138) * Okay, can you clarify what it is that you are trying to accomplish? I thought you wanted buttons on archive, 404, and single posts, but if you are hiding buttons on single posts, then obviously I am misunderstanding. * Note: you can change the target of the Before/After Content locations to your specific theme hooks using the [code example in the FAQ](https://wordpress.org/plugins/scriptless-social-sharing/#what%20if%20i%20want%20to%20move%20where%20the%20buttons%20are%20output%3F), instead of echoing out the shortcode. Either way works, though. * Thread Starter [callaloo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/callaloo/) * (@callaloo) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-conflict-3/#post-12337178) * What I mean is I use the SVG icons from your plugin for my custom links (e.g. social icons, etc) instead of using other SVG icons. So, I was using the code to show your links in archives, 404 page, etc so that these icons could show up (e.g I use some of them in my sidebar to my Facebook and Twitter pages and Reddit profile). I call each SVG in this format for example, <`svg class="scriptlesssocialsharing__icon facebook" role="img" aria-hidden="true"> `. I am also using a stripped-down version of the brands.svg which I am calling from my custom plugin’s folder so that only the square icons load (and I only use those). But it seems this plugin’s SVG icons cannot load unless the buttons are declared to show on other areas of the site except single posts. I was looking to bypass this and only load the icons anywhere on the site without limiting them on where the buttons are output (single posts). Ideally, I would like the buttons to show on single posts, but the SVG icons to be usable anywhere on the site. You get me now? * NB: Have you checked GeneratePress btw? I find its hooks easier to use than the Genesis Framework. - This reply was modified 6 years, 4 months ago by [callaloo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/callaloo/). * Plugin Author [Robin Cornett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/littlerchicken/) * (@littlerchicken) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-conflict-3/#post-12337230) * So you don’t actually need the buttons outside of the single posts; you just want the icons? In that case, I would not use the can do buttons filter at all, because then you are getting yourself into a situation where the buttons will output even when you do not want them to. Instead, I would just load the icons into site independently, with something like this: * ``` add_action( 'wp_head', function() { if ( function_exists( 'scriptlesssocialsharing_svg' ) ) { scriptlesssocialsharing_svg(); } } ); ``` * After that, I suppose you should be able to use the icons anywhere the svg element is supported, but that’s really outside the scope of plugin support. * Thread Starter [callaloo](https://wordpress.org/support/users/callaloo/) * (@callaloo) * [6 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/code-conflict-3/#post-12337367) * I just figured a workaround. Copied the brands.svg to a new folder then called the file path in my custom functions plugin. Then assigned some height and width CSS. Works perfectly. Thanks.
