<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>Pinterest</li>
<li>Ravelry</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>

ShareThis Share Buttons

Works brilliantly with a few minor tweaks.

Awesome.

Yeah those three points in the title are why I love this plugin. After a quick registration process I had beautiful share buttons floating on my site. Then I looked at the admin settings and realize how PERFECT the plugin was built to control visibility of the buttons on a WordPress site. I don't have to touch ANY code! I'm currently using the sticky buttons, but eventually I'm thinking of adding the inline buttons to my blog posts, which I can do with two clicks. I'm also utilizing the plugins GDPR tool for my EU visitors. Awesome plugin! I look forward to seeing what else ShareThis has to offer.

Fantastic! Easy! Beautiful!

I will not register to use your plugin.


Seems everything is working as expect and working fine.



Everything seemed to be working as expected and functioning smoothly; however, despite their popularity, I did not find the options to share on Instagram and TikTok. I anticipate that these sharing options will be added in the next update. 



Best Regards
