Seamless Social Sharing

Social sharing buttons with fine-grained design controls and a modern look.

Jon Bishop

<p>Socialize makes it easy to add relevant social sharing buttons to your posts and pages without clutter or complexity.</p>
<p>You can add sharing buttons in two locations:<br />
1. Above your post content, left, right, or center aligned (or floating on the left or right)<br />
2. In a call-to-action (CTA) box below your content</p>
<p>Unlike many other plugins, Socialize provides a panel within the post editor for selecting which buttons appear per post. This helps you display only the most relevant sharing options to encourage engagement.</p>
<p>You can also display a customizable CTA box below the content. Use this space to ask readers to comment, share or take another action. You control the message and which buttons appear here, on a per-post basis.</p>
<p>All visual elements, including button layout, floating behavior, and CTA styles, can be modified in the plugin settings. Developers will also find useful actions and filters for extending functionality.</p>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Includes 6 core buttons: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, Pinterest, Pocket</li>
<li>Includes lightweight SVG-style alternatives for each service</li>
<li>Display sharing buttons above or below content</li>
<li>Supports floating button bar (left or right)</li>
<li>Buttons can be aligned left, right, or center above the content (non-floating)</li>
<li>Call-to-action section with editable text and layout</li>
<li>Custom post type support</li>
<li>Developer-friendly with actions and filters</li>
<li>Minimal footprint and modernized layout</li>
</ul>

<p><strong>Note:</strong> For proper social metadata (e.g., titles, images), I recommend using a dedicated OpenGraph plugin.</p>


Socialize

Easily add social sharing buttons to posts: float beside content or place in a call-to-action box below.
