Sharing

5 features

A blog post about layering for autumn. A grey pull quote reads: Dress for the walk home, not for the walk in, with a Post this link marked with the X logo. Under the last paragraph, a Share this heading sits above X, Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Email and Copy link buttons in each network's colour. A column of the same six icons runs down the left edge of the screen.
On a journal post: a quotable line with its own share link, the buttons under the article, and a rail down the side that stays in view.
  • Fifteen networks, kept current

    X, Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, Telegram, Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, Tumblr and email, plus copy link, print and the phone's own share sheet.

    More: Fifteen networks, kept current

    No dead networks padding the list.

  • Ask an AI about this page

    Buttons for ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Google AI Mode and Grok, which open the assistant with a request to summarise the page.

    More: Ask an AI about this page

    The question is yours to change and follows your site's language. Off until you choose them, nothing loaded from the services, and nothing sent until a reader presses one. Presses are counted like shares.

  • Follow buttons for your own profiles

    Links to your profiles on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Mastodon, Spotify, GitHub and eleven more, in the order you set.

    More: Follow buttons for your own profiles

    Placed with a block, a shortcode, a template tag or under the share buttons. Plain links with the marks drawn into the page, so nothing is loaded from anywhere else.

  • A quotable line

    Mark the one sentence in an article worth repeating and a reader can post it in a single click, with a link back to you.

  • Title, summary and picture for shared pages

    Open Graph and X card tags from your title, excerpt and featured image (or your Site Icon), so a shared page shows what it is about instead of a bare link.

    More: Title, summary and picture for shared pages

    Give any post its own share title, summary and picture, set a default picture for posts without one, and see the card as you edit. On for new sites and suggested to existing ones. It steps aside wherever an SEO plugin or your theme already writes them.

Design

2 features

The Networks tab of Social Share Buttons in WordPress admin. A preview shows the six chosen buttons under Share this. Below, a list of networks with tick boxes and up and down arrows (X, Facebook, WhatsApp, LinkedIn, Email and Copy link ticked; Pinterest, Reddit, Telegram and Bluesky not), and a Style panel of button designs including Solid (selected), Outline, Soft, Minimal, Pill and Marks only.
Choose the networks and their order, then a button style, with a preview at the top of the screen.
  • Twelve button styles

    Solid, outline, soft, minimal, pill, marks only, segment, stack, two-tone, raised, underline or badge — with rounded, circular or square corners, three sizes, and labels that can hide themselves on a phone where a labelled row would wrap into a wall.

    More: Twelve button styles

    Segment joins the buttons into one strip divided by hairlines; stack puts each mark in a coloured tile with its name underneath, like a phone's share sheet. Every card in the picker draws itself in the style it names.

  • Your colours or theirs

    Each network in its own brand colour, everything in one neutral, or everything in a colour you pick.

    More: Your colours or theirs

    The buttons inherit your theme's typography either way, so they read as part of the page.

Placement

5 features

The WordPress Posts list sorted by a Shares column. How to wash a hoodie so it stays soft shows 11, with WhatsApp 4, Facebook 3, Copy link 2 and 2 more; Layering for autumn shows 6; Why every T-shirt we sell is now organic cotton shows 4; Inside our new workshop shows 2.
The Posts list gains a Shares column, counted from presses on your own buttons and sortable.
  • Placed where people share

    Above the content, below it, floating alongside it, or pinned to the bottom of the screen on a phone — and on a WooCommerce shop, in the product summary under Add to cart.

    More: Placed where people share

    Use as many as suit the page, and a block, a shortcode or a template tag for anywhere else.

  • Per-post control

    Choose which content types get buttons, whether archives and the front page do, and switch them off for one particular post from the editor without keeping a list of exceptions.

  • On exactly the content you mean

    Tick the kinds of content that carry buttons, and the archives if you want them — both lists built from your own site, custom post types included.

    More: On exactly the content you mean

    Nothing asks for an ID, and nothing is offered that buttons could never appear on.

  • Keep them off whole sections

    The Exclude list takes a page, a post, a product or a whole category — picked by name — and a category covers everything filed under it.

    More: Keep them off whole sections

    Individual posts can still be switched off from the editor.

  • Audience and schedule

    Limit it to desktop, tablet or mobile — decided by the width of the window, so it survives page caching — to signed-in or signed-out visitors, or to particular roles.

    More: Audience and schedule

    Give it a window of dates, days of the week and hours if it is only meant to run for a while.

Measuring

3 features

The Social Share Buttons dashboard with four cards: 23 shares (button presses), top network Facebook, 6 networks enabled and 4 posts shared at least once. Below, a Shares by Network bar chart (Facebook 7, WhatsApp 6, X 3, Copy link 3, Email 2, LinkedIn 2) and a Most Shared Posts list.
The dashboard adds up the presses by network and lists the most shared posts.
  • Counts you can stand behind

    Presses are counted on your own site, per post and per network.

    More: Counts you can stand behind

    Nothing about the reader is stored — a post id and a network name is the whole row.

  • How each post did, in your lists

    While presses are counted, a Shares column on the Posts, Pages and Products lists shows how often each post's share buttons were pressed and the networks pressed most, and sorts the list by it.

    More: How each post did, in your lists

    Open a post and its Share buttons box names every network and its count. It adds nothing to what your visitors load.

  • See what a share brought back

    Switch on UTM tags and every shared link says which button it came from, so the visits a share brings back show up in Google Analytics, Matomo or whatever analytics you already use.

    More: See what a share brought back

    Off until you ask for it.

Performance

3 features

  • Nothing loaded from elsewhere

    No jQuery, no network SDKs, no tracking pixels, no external fonts.

    More: Nothing loaded from elsewhere

    One small stylesheet and one small script, both loaded only on pages that show buttons, and only after the page itself.

  • Works without JavaScript

    Every network button is a plain link that works with scripts disabled.

    More: Works without JavaScript

    The script only adds the things a link cannot do — copying, printing, the device share sheet and Mastodon.

  • Accessible by default

    Real buttons and real links, each with an accessible name, visible focus rings, and motion that respects a reduced-motion preference.

Everywhere

4 features

  • Set it up once, not once per site

    Export the networks, the design, the placement and the rules as a small file, and import it on your next site.

    More: Set it up once, not once per site

    Settings only — no share counts and no licence key. Rules that name a particular page by its number are left for you to set, because that number means something else on the other site, and the message after the import says which.

  • An admin that never reloads

    Every screen in the plugin arrives without a page load, and every save happens where you are standing.

    More: An admin that never reloads

    WordPress fetches the whole of wp-admin's CSS and JavaScript again to change one panel; this fetches the panel. The screen you are on is still there while the next one is on its way, and the one you are heading for is usually already in hand — a pointer takes a moment to reach a menu item, and that moment is spent fetching.

  • Saved, and told so where you are looking

    A save answers in the corner of the screen, bordered in the colour of what it is telling you and saying what was saved rather than just "Saved".

    More: Saved, and told so where you are looking

    Four seconds, and hovering holds it open. No reload, and no scrolling back to find a notice above the header three hundred pixels from the button you just pressed.

  • Tabs that change instantly

    A WordPress admin request spends about a second in its own bootstrap before a plugin gets a word in, and fetching when your pointer arrives only buys back a fraction of it.

    More: Tabs that change instantly

    So the plugin's other screens are fetched quietly while you read the first one — one at a time, only while the browser is idle, and never on a metered connection. By the time you click a tab the answer has been in memory for seconds.
