whiletrue

<p>This plugin shows Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest and other popular social share buttons above or below your posts.<br />
Easy customization of active buttons and position in the Settings menu.</p>
<p>In contrast to several other sharing plugin, this one aims to use only original code provided by any social network.<br />
There is no other service in the middle, you are not required to register or get a key to use it. Enjoy!</p>
<p>Facebook Like and Twitter social share buttons are loaded by default.<br />
Other buttons, including Digg, Facebook Share, Flattr, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Bitcoin, Litecoin, Stumbleupon, Youtube, Hyves, Print, Email, RSS, Reddit, Tipy, Tumblr, Buffer, SpecificFeeds, Draugiem.lv (Frype.com) can be added through the <code>Settings->Good old Share</code> menu.</p>
<p>Please be careful when selecting the <code>Show buttons in these pages</code> options : it can interact badly with other slide/fade/carousel/sidebar active plugins.</p>
<h4>Shortcode</h4>
<p>If you want to place the active buttons only in selected posts, use the [good_old_share] shortcode.</p>
<p>If you want to place only one share button, add the <em>button</em> attribute to the shortcode, e.g.:</p>
<ul>
<li>[good_old_share button=”facebook_like”]</li>
<li>[good_old_share button=”twitter”]</li>
<li>[good_old_share button=”linkedin”]</li>
<li>[good_old_share button=”pinterest”]</li>
<li>[good_old_share button=”digg”]</li>
<li>[good_old_share button=”stumbleupon”]</li>
<li>[good_old_share button=”reddit”]</li>
<li>[good_old_share button=”flattr”]</li>
<li>[good_old_share button=”tumblr”]</li>
<li>[good_old_share button=”facebook_share”]</li>
<li>and so on…</li>
</ul>
<p>Please note that in order to place single share buttons, they have to be active in the plugin settings page.</p>
<h4>Selective disable</h4>
<p>If you want to hide the share buttons inside selected posts, set a “good_old_share_disable” custom field with value “yes”.</p>
<p>To do so e.g. on a page: open the WordPress backend, go to Pages, click on the Page title to enter the Page edit screen. Then you can add the custom field, <a href="https://www.carriedils.com/how-to-create-custom-fields-in-wordpress/" title="How to Create Custom Fields in WordPress" rel="nofollow ugc">as explained here</a>.</p>
<h4>Reference</h4>
<p>This plugin gives you the features of the former 3.3 release of the “Really simple Share” plugin.</p>
