/**

*/
function ea_shared_counts_change_total_label( $link ) {
$classes = explode( ' ', $link[ 'class' ] );
if( 'included_total' == $link[ 'type' ] && in_array( 'style-icon', $classes ) ) {
$link[ 'label' ] = _n( 'Share', 'Shares', $link[ 'count' ] );
}
return $link;
}
add_filter( 'shared_counts_link', 'ea_shared_counts_change_total_label' );
