<p>coreSocial plugin implements two major features in one plugin: sharing posts or pages on social networks, and linking social networks and website profiles. coreSocial includes blocks for use in the Block Editor for adding share posts and list of profiles with wide range of options for styling.</p>
<h4>Social Networks Sharing</h4>
<p>Plugin can add a group of buttons for sharing posts, pages, or any URL on the website via social networks of your choice. The Plugin supports eight social networks that are popular today. Plugin doesn’t support a wider range of networks, because they are rarely used, but over time, plugin may get more supported networks too. Plugin tracks in the database each time any button is clicked, so it can display these counts inside the buttons. These counts don’t guarantee that someone actually shared anything, only that the button is clicked, and sharing was initialized. For some networks, plugin can get real counts from the networks, but that is not widely supported by every social network.</p>
<p>Supported networks:<br />
* Bluesky (with option to add account to link and hashtags)<br />
* Twitter / X (with option to add account to link and hashtags)<br />
* Facebook (with support for getting actual share counts via Facebook API)<br />
* Tumblr (with support for getting actual share counts)<br />
* Pinterest (with support for getting actual share counts)<br />
* Yummly (with support for getting actual share counts)<br />
* Reddit<br />
* LinkedIn<br />
* Flipboard</p>
<p>Additional share buttons:<br />
* MailTo (link with the open mail to format)<br />
* Print (link to open the native print dialog)</p>
<h4>Adding Share Buttons</h4>
<p>Plugin can add share buttons automatically via plugin settings for selected post-types. But if you want, you can use Block to add share buttons anywhere, supporting the Full Site Editing templates too. With the use of block, share buttons can be added anywhere on the website where the block editor is used.</p>
<h4>Profiles Linking</h4>
<p>If you want to add links to your social network profiles or website, with the colorful buttons, with icons; followers counts (added manually), different layouts, coreSocial supports close to 40 different networks and other relevant methods and websites.</p>
<h4>Blocks</h4>
<p>Plugin adds two blocks for both features, and these have a huge number of settings and customizations to make the buttons look the way you want them.</p>

coreSocial: Social Networks Sharing

Add popular social networks share buttons to posts and pages, lists social network profiles with customizable styling and full block editor support.

<p>The plugin adds a mail queue system that can intercept all the emails sent through the <code>wp_mail</code> function, and depending on the predefined rules (number of recipients), sent the email into the queue, with each recipient getting their email. On top of that, the plugin can process all plain text emails and wrap them in the HTML, and send them as HTML, with options to customize the template and various other aspects.</p>
<h4>How the plugin works</h4>
<p>The central part of the plugin, called ‘Mailer,’ controls the process.</p>
<ul>
<li>Intercept every <code>wp_mail</code> call</li>
<li>If needed, wrap email in HTML</li>
<li>Determine the number of recipients</li>
<li>If eligible, add each recipient email into the queue</li>
</ul>
<p>Process of turning plain text into HTML emails, support all emails sent through wp_mail, even if they don’t end in the queue. This can turn all WordPress system emails (registration, password reset…) into HTML emails and you can choose between predefined HTML templates, or register own templates via filter.</p>
<p>Queue works through the CRON, as a background job, and you can configure how many emails to send in a batch, with the timeout setting to prevent PHP timeout breaking the sending process.</p>
<h4>Email Sending</h4>

<li>Email sending engine based on PHPMailer class</li>
<li>PHPMailer options to use SMTP for sending emails</li>
<li>Customize email From for all emails passed through <code>wp_mail</code></li>
<li>Customize email From, Reply, and Sender for all emails sent through the queue</li>
</ul>
<h4>Email Logging</h4>
<p>The plugin includes an advanced email log.</p>
<ul>
<li>Custom database tables to store logs, made for performance</li>
<li>Store all relevant data for each email, including a list of attachments</li>
<li>Email log panel with filters for logged emails</li>
<li>Preview popup displaying all logged email details</li>
<li>Preview popup shows the full HTML email part preview</li>
<li>Retry sending any failed emails through the queue</li>
</ul>
<h4>Security related features</h4>
<p>The plugin will attempt to strip malicious content from intercepted email, and sanitize the email plain text before generating HTML version, with the option to control the scope of the HTML tags to allow. HTML from subject will be striped. Emails stored in the log will be additionally sanitized, and on display, email content will be again escaped or run through KSES to avoid issues.</p>
