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.
You can use the share button and link button functions either separately, or together:
Share Button mode 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.
Link Button mode 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.
Supported social services include:
<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>
You can also choose exactly which services you want separately for each mode, so you can can have Share Buttons for Ravelry, Pinterest, Facebook, Twitter and Email, but have Link Buttons for Google+, Craftsy, Pinterest and your Etsy shop.

<h3>Future Editions</h3>
These are the things currently in the pipeline:
<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>

<a href="http://socialmediafeather.com/" title="Lightweight WordPress social sharing and following" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress Social Media Feather</a> is a lightweight free social media WordPress plugin that allows you to quickly and painlessly add social sharing and following features to all your posts, pages and custom post types.
The plugin supports adding of social buttons for sharing or following (that is, social buttons that link to your social network profiles pages). The social media buttons can easily and automatically be added to all your posts, pages or any other custom post types.
One of the few social sharing and bookmarking plugin with full support for the Retina and high resolution displays as used in the iPad, iPhones and other devices!
What sets WordPress Social Media Feather aside from the plethora of other social sharing and following WordPress plugins is its focus on simplicity, performance and social sharing impact. Social share buttons and links to your social pages are fast to setup with automatic display or social widgets.
Given the widespread focus on WordPress social media integration, your site will still provide social bookmarks and share buttons to improve visibility of your posts and content and improve your overall global reach on social platforms.
The WordPress social media sharing offered by the plugin includes all major social sharing buttons providers like Facebook, Twitter, reddit, Pinterest, tumblr, Linkedin and even e-mail.
It will show social buttons that your users can click to share to facebook or tweet your posts and pages on your site or submit it to reddit or publish it on tumblr and all other social sharing networks.
The WordPress social media following offered by the plugin includes all major social network providers and tools like Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Linkedin, YouTube, tumblr, instagram, flickr, foursquare, vimeo or RSS.
Our social media plugin also offers widgets for sharing and following buttons that you can place in any widgetized area in your site and the widgets also expose some settings and parameters to tweak the appearance of the social buttons. The plugin also provides shortcodes that can be used for the same purpose, creating both share and follow buttons and allowing selection of visibility of different social media networks or reordering how the various social networks appear (see example shortcodes at the bottom).
You can disable automatic rendering of social icons for specific posts by using Custom Fields. Simply set a custom field of <code>synved_social_exclude_share</code> to “yes” (without quotes) to disable rendering of sharing buttons on the post/page or <code>synved_social_exclude_follow</code> to “yes” (without quotes) to remove following buttons from the post or alternatively <code>synved_social_exclude</code> to disable both. The Custom Fields editor needs to be enabled on your post/page edit screen by clicking at the top right where it says “Screen Options”.

 [feather_share]
This shortcode will create a list of social media sharing buttons to share content on your site, only showing Twitter and Facebook, in that specific order: 
 [feather_share show=”twitter, facebook” hide=”reddit, pinterest, linkedin, tumblr, mail”]
You can change the order of displayed buttons by changing the order of keywords: 
 [feather_share show=”twitter, facebook” hide=”reddit, pinterest, linkedin, tumblr, mail”]
This shortcode will create a list of social sharing buttons to share content on your site using the “Wheel” icons skin: 
 [feather_share skin=”wheel”]

 [feather_share size=”64″]
You can add a custom CSS class to your share buttons using the “class” attribute: 
 [feather_share class=”myclass”]
You can combine all the parameters above to customize the look, for instance using the “Wheel” icon skin at a size of 64 pixels and only showing Twitter and Facebook, in that specific order: 
 [feather_share skin=”wheel” size=”64″ show=”twitter, facebook” hide=”reddit, pinterest, linkedin, tumblr, mail”]
The next shortcode will create a list of social following buttons that allow visitors to follow you: 
 [feather_follow]

 [feather_follow skin=”balloon” size=”64″]
You can specify a manual URL to be used for the sharing buttons: 
 [feather_share url=”http://www.example.org”]
<h4>Template Tags</h4>
If you don’t want to use shortcodes but instead prefer to use PHP directly, there are 2 PHP functions/template tags you can use.
For sharing buttons you can use: 
 if (function_exists(‘synved_social_share_markup’)) echo synved_social_share_markup();
For following buttons you can use: 
 if (function_exists(‘synved_social_follow_markup’)) echo synved_social_follow_markup();
