It’s been disabled until we can work out a less “error prone” solution.

Thanks for the plugin. What happened to the “Send To A Friend” e-mail button?

Hey Josh,
I can confirm that that Shopp http://shopplugin.net/ is still not working. It isn’t just post titles, it doesn’t grab the full post URL either.

Shopp uses some kind of custom page redirect, so domain.com/shop/ is a wp page with a quicktag on it. Items show up at domain.com/shop/item-name, but they don’t physically exist in WP as posts or pages.

Most social plugins don’t have a problem with this, but SB does. Not sure what Sexy Bookmarks is doing differently that makes it not work though.

That issue has been fixed in v2.5.3.4 so you’ll need to upgrade to fix it.

Also, when you upgrade, you’ll need to go the plugin options page for SexyBookmarks and click the “Reset all short URLs” option and save your changes.

This will ensure that any of the erroneous URLs that may have been stored in the DB will be removed and make way for new ones.

Can any one help on this error for the twitter link (using version 2.5.3.3):-

Not Found

The requested URL /create.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Your rock :)
and thanks for considering the shortening for all bookmarks.

I guess I must have missed this comment for a while, so I apologize. Have you attempted deactivating all other plugins other than SexyBookmarks to see if it was just a plugin conflict?

Twitter is the only one that really “needs” shortening. All of the other bookmarking/social sites offer infinite* space for your URL, so there’s really no need to shorten them.

However, if it’s more of an “aesthetics” thing, where you’re wanting a “clean” looking URL for all of the posts, then I may run a poll soon to see how other people would feel about this option.

If many people seem to think it would be a good idea, I’ll look into adding it.

Hi, sorry for the late reply…

The problem with bit.ly is actually a bug. I’ve already found the issue and will be releasing an update soon that will fix it.

Your fix will work temporarily, but once we release the update it will be overwritten.

I have tested the fix, and it does work, so there shouldn’t be any problems.

The root of the problem was that the array keys were inserting a blank space in the URL thus breaking it. (simple, eh?)

Hello again. I hope that I’m not becoming your nightmare :D
I tried to play around with your plugin to fix the bit.ly issue and it worked with me ;)
I modified this plugin file: sexybookmarks/public.php and altered line number 16 by removing this &format=json
Could you please let me know if this will do some bad behavior for the plugin?
Why did I remove it? Because I’ve checked the latest Shortening method from bit.ly and it didn’t mention the &format=json variable thing so I just removed it.

Cheers.
