The official plugin for ShareOpenly - adding modern, open social media sharing links to your website. Share openly.

<p>You know all those “share to Facebook” / “share to Twitter” links you see all over peoples’ websites? They’re all out of date.</p>
<p>Social media has evolved over the last year, yet nobody has “share to” links for Mastodon, Bluesky, Threads, etc. There have been a few attempts to create “share to Mastodon” buttons, but they haven’t taken the larger breadth of the new social media landscape into account.</p>
<p>This is where ShareOpenly comes in.</p>
<p>Activate this plugin and, at the bottom of every post and/or page on your site, you’ll see a “share to social media” button. If you click it, you’ll be taken to a page that shows a number of modern, social media sites (see the first screenshot). You can select one of the pre-set sites in the list, and you’ll be taken to share a post there. But if you, for example, have a Mastodon instance, or a Known site, or an IndieWeb site at a different domain, you can enter that domain in the box, and ShareOpenly will try and find a way to let you share the page with that site.</p>

<h3>Privacy</h3>
<p>This plugin does not store personal data. Clicking a share link navigates the user to a third-party (or user-specified) site to complete the share.</p>
<p>Since v1.2, the share icon is loaded locally; no external assets or scripts are loaded by the plugin.</p>
<h3>Plugin Settings</h3>
<p>By default, nothing needs to be done for the new sharing options to appear. However, a number of settings are available, allowing for you to modify the results.</p>
<p>In Settings -> Discussion -> ShareOpenly, you can configure:<br />
1.  Location – where sharing links appear (Posts, Pages, or both)<br />
2.  Share text – the text shown next to the icon<br />
3.  Priority – the filter priority used for output ordering (default: 10)</p>
<p>After changing any of the settings, make sure to press the “Save Changes” button at the bottom of the screen.</p>
