Fix Facebook Counter

By ollakalla on December 16, 2016

The Problem is that facebook change the json, and you can fix the problem by edit this file wp-content/plugins/posts-social-shares-count/classes/share.count.php and go to function pssc_facebook and change the code inside it with this code 
$json_string = $this->file_get_contents_curl( 'https://graph.facebook.com/?id='.$this->url );
$json = json_decode( $json_string, true );
return isset( $json['share']['share_count'] ) ? intval( $json['share']['share_count']) : 0;

Does what it says it will do. Had a small issue with cURL under a specific server setup, but otherwise it works great!

Awesome work!
