This plugin pulls my featured image, not my Pinterest image (which is coded for Pinterest). Also, there’s no option for email. Too bad, I was hoping it would have worked better.

To the Developers:
Nice little plugin you have there. I got tripped up initially by not properly setting the ‘Icon Display Position’ option. I like the fact that the plugin allows users to target custom post types (both single- and archive-template pages). The ‘Live Preview’ feature in the Admin is cool too. It allows plugins users to preview how the social icons will appear on the front end. Thanks for developing and sharing this plugin with the community.
