Overview

Getting readers to pass your pages along usually means adding share links by hand or fitting them into a theme. This plugin handles that job in one place. You choose which social networks to offer, pick a button design, and decide where the buttons appear on each page.

Everything is set up in a visual editor with drag-and-drop controls, so you can adjust the look and try different placements without touching code. The buttons are designed to work on phones and tablets as well as desktops. It suits blogs, business sites and online portfolios that want visitors to share content more easily.

Features

  • Many button styles and layouts: Choose from a wide range of button designs and layout options so the share buttons match the look and feel of your website.
  • Visual editor, no coding: Set up and change your buttons through a drag-and-drop editor. You can build and adjust the buttons in a few clicks without writing code.
  • Multiple social networks: Offer sharing on the networks your audience uses, such as Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, and prioritize the platforms that suit your visitors best.
  • Flexible button placement: Place buttons above or below your content, in a floating sidebar, or in a custom spot on the page, depending on where they fit best.
  • Responsive, mobile-friendly design: The share buttons are built to work on all devices, so visitors on phones, tablets and desktops can share content in the same way.
  • Share counters: Show how many times a piece of content has been shared. Visible counts can add social proof and give new visitors a reason to share too.
  • Lightweight loading: The plugin is built to have minimal impact on your site's speed, so pages stay smooth to browse while the buttons are displayed.
  • Works with themes and builders: The buttons are made to fit with popular WordPress themes and page builders, which keeps adding them to existing pages simple.
