<p>This plugin adds a set of social buttons to your website, and includes craft-related social sites like Ravelry, Etsy, Craftsy and Pinterest as well as other major social networks, including WhatsApp.  Support for sharing to WhatsApp is also provided on mobile devices.   You can choose from nine different button styles to match your theme.  You can have the share buttons automatically added to the top or bottom of each post, and can position the link buttons using either a widget, a shortcode or a template action hook.</p>
<p>You can use the share button and link button functions either separately, or together:</p>
<p><strong>Share Button mode</strong> allows you to put a set of buttons at the top or bottom of each post.  Each button will share that post with that particular service.  I.e., clicking the facebook icon will open a window for the user to share your post on their Facebook page.  Not all services support sharing, for instance, you can’t share via Etsy or Craftsy.</p>
<p><strong>Link Button mode</strong> lets you configure the buttons to link directly you your profiles on the social networks.  I.e. clicking the facebook icon will take the user to your facebook page, clicking the Etsy icon will take them to your Etsy shop.   These are designed to be included in either your header, sidebars or footer, as they are not specific to a post.  These can be easily included by adding the Social Link Button widget to the area where you want the buttons to appear.</p>
<p>Supported social services include:</p>
<ul>
<li>Craftinoo (link only)</li>
<li>Craftsy (link only)</li>
<li>Dawanda (link only)</li>
<li>Digg</li>
<li>Ebay (link only)</li>
<li>Email (share only)</li>
<li>Etsy (link only)</li>
<li>Facebook</li>
<li>Flickr (link only)</li>
<li>Google+</li>
<li>Instagram (link only)</li>
<li>LinkedIn</li>
<li>Pinterest</li>
<li>Ravelry</li>
<li>Reddit</li>
<li>Specific Feeds (link only)</li>
<li>Stumble Upon</li>
<li>Tumblr</li>
<li>Twitter</li>
<li>Vimeo</li>
<li>VK</li>
<li>YouTube</li>
<li>WhatApp (share only, only on mobile)</li>
<li>Xing</li>
</ul>
<p>You can also choose exactly which services you want separately for each mode, so you can can have <em>Share Buttons</em> for Ravelry, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter and Email, but have <em>Link Buttons</em> for Google+, Craftsy, Pinterest and your Etsy shop.</p>

<h3>Future Editions</h3>
<p>These are the things currently in the pipeline:</p>
<ul>
<li>Adding the ability to share/link to Flipboard, Goodreads and 500px</li>
<li>Additional options for layout and style of the buttons</li>
<li>Shortcode options for more manual control of the buttons</li>
<li>(Anything else?  You tell me!)</li>
</ul>

<p>Shared Counts is a WordPress social media share buttons plugin. Sharing buttons increase traffic and engagement by helping readers share your posts and pages to their friends on social media.</p>
<p><strong>Included Buttons</strong><br />
– Facebook Share Button<br />
– Pinterest Pin Button<br />
– Yummly Button<br />
– Twitter Tweet Button (using the third-party Twitcount.com API)<br />
– Email Sharing<br />
– Share Count Total<br />
– Print Button<br />
– LinkedIn Share Button</p>
<p>Facebook, Pinterest, Yummly, and Twitter buttons support social count display and tracking.</p>
<h3>Basic Usage</h3>
<p>In Settings > Shared Counts you can select where the share buttons can appear automatically (Before Content, After Content, Before & After Content). When editing a post, you can use the checkbox in the “Shared Counts” box in the right column to disable the automatic buttons on this specific post.</p>
<p>You can use the <code>[shared_counts]</code> shortcode to manually display the buttons.</p>
<h3>Styling and Display</h3>
<p>We include many share button styling options, so you can pick the perfect look for you site. Additionally, you can automatically insert the share buttons before and/or after the post content. Want granular or manual control? No problem! You can also use the <code>[shared_counts]</code> shortcode to insert them inside your content as you see fit.</p>
<h3>HTTP Recovery / Upgrading to HTTPS</h3>
<p>We provide a one-click option to retrieve both HTTP and HTTPS share counts, ensuring you don’t lose your share counts when upgrading your website to HTTPS.</p>
<h3>GDPR</h3>
<p>Unlike other social sharing tools, this plugin does not use cookies, tracking scripts, or store any user data.</p>
<h3>Performance</h3>
<p>Shared Counts was created with site performance in mind, even at large scale. It is used on several large websites that get tens of millions of page views each month. Our unique and creative caching methods have a minimal affect on site overhead. Leveraging the SharedCount.com API, we can retrieve (almost) all share counts in a single request.</p>
<h3>Developers</h3>
<p>Additionally, Shared Counts was built to be developer friendly! We provide very liberal usage of hooks and filters. Everything is customizable and the possibilities are near limitless. Unlike other plugins all data (counts) are stored and cached in post_meta which makes it easy to access for extending (e.g. fetch top 10 most shared posts on your site). We have extensive documentation on <a href="https://sharedcountsplugin.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">our website</a> and we’re also on <a href="https://github.com/jaredatch/Shared-Counts/" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>.</p>

Shared Counts – Social Media Share Buttons

Excellent plugin, very user friendly and easy to implement. Support also answered my question quick and efficiently.

Thanks!

Great Plugin

It was either gonna be Shared Counts or Social Warfare. I felt Shared Counts was cheaper, written just as well, very easy to work with. We did some crazy custom stuff.

- saved HTTP and HTTPS counts
- even changed permalink structure, and had it make calls to the old structure as well. 

So basically we were able to combine 3 counts:
- old permalink structure in HTTP
- old permalink structure in HTTPS
- new permalink structure in HTTPS

I'm happy camper. Counts are even cached so as to avoid slowing down your site under heavy load. Love you guys!!!

SO HAPPY WITH THIS PLUGIN!

This is a very nice plugin to have but, there is no clear or intuitive way to set it up. It seems like the questions in the Setting panel are good questions to have as options but when you go to use the plugin meta boxes in the individual post's editor, there is no clear way to "do anything" with the plugin.

I believe it is lacking the simple instructions as to what each functionality or button is supposed to do.

It will say ADD URL, for example, in the post editor metabox. And there is not a way of knowing what the url is or where it is going or what it is going to do if you enter the url.

Then it has a widget to add a new image which, I assume is going to be used as the image that is SENT to social media but, that too is unclear as to what the image "does."

Very ambiguous and lacks the UI/UX needed to use in confidence.

Very Nice But


I have installed your plugin version 1.4.1 in my website and because of nonce validation lack in hook wp_ajax_nopriv_shared_counts_email, my server was down for a whole day!!



The logs? DDoS Attack in wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with POST these data:



Array
(
    [action] => shared_counts_email
    [postid] => 
    [recipient] => 272935984@qq.com
    [name] => 开沪立送58礼金- www.13033.top -ぃAG视讯豪华厅，直播美女陪您决战到天亮，大额无忧；
    [email] => info@bmw.com
    [validation] => 
    [nonce] => 
)



Using nonces in ajax requests is fundamental principle of WordPress development...


DDoS because of your plugin

Shared Counts adds social media sharing buttons that look great and keep your site loading fast.
