Do you see the Facebook share bubble? It appears to be doubling? How do I remove the doubled graphic?
Offline
The facebook share button does not have a default bubble that appears if there are not shares or very few share. So I had to add a default bubble so that it is displayed when there are no shares. The 2nd bubble is this bubble that is getting displayed. To rectify the over lapping of bubbles, you can use the below code in custom CSS in the plugin options. Note the below code starts with a dot.
.s4fbshare{
height: 65px !important;
margin-top: -4px !important;
}

Sudipto,
Thanks for your reply. It worked. I bet there is a dif way to code this...
Maybe you could do a php call like
if 0 shares, then display facebooklogo.jpeg
but if share then display number
on top of ONE bubble.
this is just curiousity. 🙂
What you are suggesting can be done but the only thing I will have to make a API call to facebook to know if the page has any shares or not. And thats not at all a google solution because say you have a 1000 page views in a day (which is a very small number), then we have have to make 1000 call to facebook API to check the share count. This will slow down your site and also use a lot of your site resources.

huh! Good to know! haha, this is why YOU write this kind of stuff. Not me. 🙂
There seems to be something wrong with the plugins for the sharing - It seems not to be recording how many shares are happening. I usually have each post shared at least 6 times - I tested it out and none of them are marking as being shared
Well for the count all I can say is that you can use the Facebook API to check how many share counts Facebook has in its database for the URL of the post shared. If Facebook is not recording shares then I can hardly do anything 🙁
To check the share/like count you can use the below URL. Just replace the [URL] with the actual post URL for which you can to see the share count which Facebook has.

Thanks.
I did what you said and it shows multiple shares on each post, even when the plugin shows zero. 🙁
Facebook share count is shown where there is a substantial number of shares. I don't know what the exact number of share count for facebook share to show up. Sometimes it shows up even when there is just a single share and sometimes it does not show up even even if there are more than 5 shares. Its Facebook's problem and I can hardly do anything about it.

I think Sharethis plugin will be the best (http://wordpress.org/extend/pl.....hare-this/)
I think sharethis uses its own code to display the buttons and the facebook share button will definitely show the correct count
