Hi Mike,
To fix the issue, please add the following code lines to the file /functions.php, above β€œ?>”

function dw_get_plusones_share_count($url) {
$curl = curl_init();
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_URL, "https://clients6.google.com/rpc");
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POST, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_SSL_VERIFYPEER, false);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, '[{"method":"pos.plusones.get","id":"p","params":{"nolog":true,"id":"'.rawurldecode class="prettyprint"($url).'","source":"widget","userId":"@viewer","groupId":"@self"},"jsonrpc":"2.0","key":"p","apiVersion":"v1"}]');
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true);
curl_setopt($curl, CURLOPT_HTTPHEADER, array('Content-type: application/json'));
$curl_results = curl_exec ($curl);
curl_close ($curl);
$json = json_decode class="prettyprint"($curl_results, true);
return isset($json[0]['result']['metadata']['globalCounts']['count'])?intval( $json[0]['result']['metadata']['globalCounts']['count'] ):0;
}

– Then, at the line 434 in the file /functions.php

replace

<li class="google"><i class="icon-google-plus-sign"></i><a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=<?php echo $url; ?>" ><?php _e('Google +','dw_focus') ?></a><span>0</span></li> 

with

<li class="google"><i class="icon-google-plus-sign"></i><a href="https://plus.google.com/share?url=<?php echo $url; ?>" ><?php _e('Google +','dw_focus') ?></a><span><?php echo dw_get_plusones_share_count( $url ); ?></span></li>

Hope this helps,

Regards,
Rambu

Can you please include all the fixes in the DW Focus theme and then ship it with a new release. This will make the implementation clean.

We don’t want to touch the core files of your theme.

Hi Rambu,

The code is incorrect. It is displaying same static value (15) for all posts!

Please look into it.
