Displays your number of followers from Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Twitch, Twitter and several other social media websites.
The Social Count Plus performs counting for:
- Comments total
- Facebook page fans
- GitHub followers
- Google+ page/profile followers
- Instagram followers
- LinkedIn company followers
- Pinterest followers
- Posts total
- SoundCloud followers
- Steam Community group members
- Tumblr followers
- Twitch channel followers
- Twitter followers
- Users total
- Vimeo followers
You can display your numbers using a Widget (with links and icons) or Shortcodes (to be used in posts and pages) or PHP functions in your theme.
The results of the counters are cached and new values are checked only once a day. This cache can be wiped when published a new post.
The cache avoids not only that your blog be seeking new results every time a page is loaded, but also prevents collapse of services from Twitter and Facebook, if one of these services does not respond, the counter displays the last count it was successful.
You can contribute to the source code in our GitHub page.

You probably have not been able to generate API keys as it should.
You can test the API key with the following link:

The answer must contain the following line:
"circledByCount": XXX,
You can change using the filter social_count_plus_transient_time.
Example:
function social_count_plus_custom_transient_time( $time ) {
return 43200; // 12 hours in seconds.
}
add_filter( 'social_count_plus_transient_time', 'social_count_plus_custom_transient_time' );
It's possible to round numbers using the social_count_plus_number_format filter.
Example of rounding 1500 to 1.5K or 1000000 to 1M:
function my_custom_scp_number_format( $total ) {
if ( $total > 1000000 ) {
return round( $total / 1000000, 1 ) . 'M';
} else if ( $total > 1000 ) {
return round( $total / 1000, 1 ) . 'K';
}
return $total;
}
add_filter( 'social_count_plus_number_format', 'my_custom_scp_number_format' );
