Genius Pipe review for Product Reviews

Oct. 2, 2015

I have found a solution for "taking forever to load in Google Chrome", etc: Disclaimer: The following is based on Brooklyn Theme and have only been tested for my store. I hope it helps you guys too! Problem: Product Reviews is loading its own jQuery, which is fine, however, if you have Product Sharing turned on, i.e. share a product on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, etc - Twitter API is taking forever to load the "count of tweets" and blocking Product Reviews App from loading jQuery. Solution A: In theme customization -> Social Media -> Under "Sharing": turn OFF 'Tweet on Twitter' option. Solution B: If you want to keep twitter to allow customers to share, you’ll have to disable twitter's counter code: comment this entire block in assets/social-buttons.js.liquid: if ( $twitLink.length ) { … } I have also reached out to Shopify's team with detailed explanation of the problem and proposed solutions on their end, hopefully they can update the plug-in to either not load a jQuery second time if it already exists, or bypass twitter loading problem. Otherwise, I think it’s awesome!!!
