Sharebox AI adds AI platform buttons to your WordPress posts and pages, encouraging visitors to ask AI about your content — with your URL included in the prompt. Search engines crawl. AI agents cite. Make sure your content gets credited when AI answers questions about your topic.
Your readers are already using AI to explore your content. Make sure you’re getting credit for it.
<h4>The Web Is Becoming Agentic</h4>
AI agents retrieve, summarize, and cite sources on behalf of users. The sites that get cited become the training ground for the next generation of answers. The sites that don’t become invisible.
Sharebox AI provides one-click access to major AI platforms, turning reader behavior into your distribution channel. From install to attribution in under five minutes.

<h4>Third-Party Services</h4>
Important: This plugin creates buttons that link to external AI platforms. When visitors click these buttons, they are redirected to third-party websites with a prompt that includes your page URL, page title, and site name. This data is transmitted via URL parameters or clipboard (depending on platform support).
The plugin itself makes no server-side API calls and collects no user data. However, once visitors click a button and navigate to an AI platform, that platform’s terms of service and privacy policy apply.

<a href="http://katieseaborn.com/plugins/" title="Zotpress for WordPress" rel="nofollow ugc">Zotpress</a> brings publication broadcasting and scholarly blogging to WordPress through <a href="http://zotero.org/" title="Zotero" rel="nofollow ugc">Zotero</a>, a free, cross-platform reference manager.
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Displays your personal and group Zotero items through in-text citations, bibliographies, and searchable libraries</li>
<li>Supports thumbnail images through WordPress’s Media Library and Open Library</li>
<li>Supports selective CSS styling via IDs and classes</li>
<li>Provides a range of additional features, such as allowing visitors to download citations</li>
<li>And more!</li>
</ul>
Compatible with Firefox, Safari, Chrome, and IE9. Made with jQuery, jQuery UI, jQuery doTimeout, Live Query, OAuth, and <a href="https://openlibrary.org/" title="Open Library" rel="nofollow ugc">Open Library</a>.
Special thanks to Joe Alberts for substantial contributions to the code, comprehensive testing, and design ideation. Thanks also to contributors Jeremy Varnham (@jvarn13), Christopher Cheung, Jason S., Chris Wentzloff, Karljürgen Feuerherm (@feuerherm), Mark Dingemanse (@codeispoetry), Jörg Mechnich (jmechnich@github), Tomas Risberg, @ericcorbett2, and @timtom for their code contributions, testing, and guidance. Finally, my sincere gratitude goes out to all who have donated in support of this plugin.
Please note that this plugin is on semi-hiatus, with updates expected about 1-3 times a year.
<h4>Requirements</h4>
jQuery included in your theme (Zotpress will do this for you if it isn’t already included), and an HTTP request method supported by WordPress enabled on your server: cURL, fopen with Streams (PHP 5), or fsockopen. In your server config file, X-Frame-Options should be set to SAMEORIGIN. Optional: OAuth enabled on your server.

Zotpress

Works really well in combination with both user and group libraries. Impressed by a lot of things, from account management to how easy it is to create all sorts of bibliographies. Really good UI in the back-end, too, with excellent help & FAQ pages integrated with an overview of available settings and shortcodes. Impressive and well worth a donation!

Would love an option to de-JS ZotPress output (i.e. some way to cache more than just the bibliographic data) and trigger refresh manually (e.g., when a library or collection is updated). Right now sorting and adding headings is all done in JS post-load, resulting in delays. But many publication lists are pretty much static, so could be rendered and cached in HTML once the basic settings are clear.

Easy to use and feature-rich bibliographies; impressive, well worth a donation

Zotpress displays your Zotero citations on WordPress.
