 * Hi,
    when in debug mode set to “true” php is showing notices for undefined variable
   $social_buttons on your plugin code. Here is the full notice message:
 *     ```
       Notice: Undefined variable: social_buttons in /PATH_TO_MY_WEBSITE/wp-content/plugins/social-share-buttons-popup/public/social-share-buttons.php on line 40
   
       Notice: Undefined variable: social_buttons in /PATH_TO_MY_WEBSITE/wp-content/plugins/social-share-buttons-popup/public/social-share-buttons.php on line 105
   
       Notice: Undefined variable: social_buttons in /PATH_TO_MY_WEBSITE/wp-content/plugins/social-share-buttons-popup/public/social-share-buttons.php on line 169
   
       Notice: Undefined variable: social_buttons in /PATH_TO_MY_WEBSITE/wp-content/plugins/social-share-buttons-popup/public/social-share-buttons.php on line 232
       ```
   
 * One solution is to declare $social_buttons as global inside of your function 
   bodies.
