Getting started

Install and activate the plugin, then open Social Share Buttons in the WordPress menu. It arrives configured: X, Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, email and a copy-link button, shown below the content on posts.

The dashboard tells you the one thing to do next if anything is stopping the buttons appearing. Until the first share it also says where they are showing, with a View on your site button that opens a page they are on. If nothing of the chosen content types is published yet (a shop with products and no blog posts, say) it warns you and links to the Display screen. Once shares start arriving it stays out of the way.
