10,000+ active installs · Rated 3.3/5 · Updated March 18, 2025
A social sharing plugin that adds share buttons above, below or floating beside your content for networks such as Facebook, X, Pinterest and LinkedIn. It focuses on fast-loading buttons and can show a popular-posts widget based on share counts. It suits bloggers who want attractive buttons without slowing pages down. The core plugin is free, and a Pro add-on with a paid licence adds more networks and finer control over how shared content appears.
