HI:
Has the Twitter API and counts issue been solved yet? We’re still missing the Twitter Icon to share posts. For example, this post:

Rock Your Next Event Using Twitter Hashtags


There was mention 7 months ago in these forums of an update to the DW Focus theme that would address the issue.
 
Thank you for your help!

I have checked your site and I know your issue. Currently, in the latest version of the DW Focus, we have removed this section and we have made a plugin support this section, it’s DW Social Share, you can search and install it. Also, you can let me know the version that you are using. 
The Twitter have updated API and remove count share feature.  So, to resolve this issue, please install our plugin, the DW Social share. If you still face their issue, you can send me username & password of your site via private answer, I will help you resolve it.

I installed the plugin and added the php code for it to single.php in the parent theme (DW Focus).
I have more questions:

  1. The strip of social icons appears above the title/featured image of each post, and is indented. So, there’s an alignment issue.
  2. Can the alignment be changed to “outdent” it so that it lines up with the left margin? See screenshot below – green arrows.

No instruction to SHARE
How to remove the original social shares and leave only the tags?[/caption]
  1. There is no “Share This Article” instruction. Just the icons show up. How do readers know to use those icons to share on their social platforms? See screenshot above.

3. The original sharing options in the left sidebar are now made redundant. How can I remove the socials and leave only the tags? See screenshot above.
4. I attempted using the shortcode, but I cannot place it where I want it to go — which would be between the featured image and the post title. No matter where I place it in the post when editing, it always is positioned at the top of the  post. See screenshot below.
[caption id="" align="alignnone" width="891"] How can I add “SHARE THIS ARTICLE” in front of the shortcode and place it where I want it to go in the post?[/caption]
5. Related to 4, above: In the editor, when I add text in front of the short code: Share this Article, the text does not appear with the set of icons.
 
Thank you again for your help.

I just found the upgrade to download, so that will hopefully take care of the left sidebar issue. Correct?
