<p><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.</p>
<p>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 <strong>custom post types</strong>.</p>
<p>One of the few social sharing and bookmarking plugin with full support for the <strong>Retina and high resolution displays</strong> as used in the iPad, iPhones and other devices!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The <strong>WordPress social media sharing</strong> offered by the plugin includes all major social sharing buttons providers like Facebook, Twitter, reddit, Pinterest, tumblr, Linkedin and even e-mail.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The <strong>WordPress social media following</strong> 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.</p>
<p>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).</p>
<p>You can disable automatic rendering of social icons for specific posts by using <em>Custom Fields</em>. 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 <em>Custom Fields</em> editor needs to be enabled on your post/page edit screen by clicking at the top right where it says “Screen Options”.</p>

    [feather_share]</p>
<p>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:<br />
    [feather_share show=”twitter, facebook” hide=”reddit, pinterest, linkedin, tumblr, mail”]</p>
<p>You can change the order of displayed buttons by changing the order of keywords:<br />
    [feather_share show=”twitter, facebook” hide=”reddit, pinterest, linkedin, tumblr, mail”]</p>
<p>This shortcode will create a list of social sharing buttons to share content on your site using the “Wheel” icons skin:<br />

<p>You can add a custom CSS class to your share buttons using the “class” attribute:<br />
    [feather_share class=”myclass”]</p>

    [feather_share skin=”wheel” size=”64″ show=”twitter, facebook” hide=”reddit, pinterest, linkedin, tumblr, mail”]</p>
<p>The next shortcode will create a list of social following buttons that allow visitors to follow you:<br />

    [feather_follow skin=”balloon” size=”64″]</p>
<p>You can specify a manual URL to be used for the sharing buttons:<br />
    [feather_share url=”http://www.example.org”]</p>
<h4>Template Tags</h4>
<p>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.</p>
<p>For sharing buttons you can use:<br />
    if (function_exists(‘synved_social_share_markup’)) echo synved_social_share_markup();</p>
<p>For following buttons you can use:<br />
    if (function_exists(‘synved_social_follow_markup’)) echo synved_social_follow_markup();</p>

<p>Shared Counts is a WordPress social media share buttons plugin. Sharing buttons increase traffic and engagement by helping readers share your posts and pages to their friends on social media.</p>
<p><strong>Included Buttons</strong><br />
– Facebook Share Button<br />
– Pinterest Pin Button<br />
– Yummly Button<br />
– Twitter Tweet Button (using the third-party Twitcount.com API)<br />
– Email Sharing<br />
– Share Count Total<br />
– Print Button<br />
– LinkedIn Share Button</p>
<p>Facebook, Pinterest, Yummly, and Twitter buttons support social count display and tracking.</p>
<h3>Basic Usage</h3>
<p>In Settings > Shared Counts you can select where the share buttons can appear automatically (Before Content, After Content, Before & After Content). When editing a post, you can use the checkbox in the “Shared Counts” box in the right column to disable the automatic buttons on this specific post.</p>
<p>You can use the <code>[shared_counts]</code> shortcode to manually display the buttons.</p>
<h3>Styling and Display</h3>
<p>We include many share button styling options, so you can pick the perfect look for you site. Additionally, you can automatically insert the share buttons before and/or after the post content. Want granular or manual control? No problem! You can also use the <code>[shared_counts]</code> shortcode to insert them inside your content as you see fit.</p>
<h3>HTTP Recovery / Upgrading to HTTPS</h3>
<p>We provide a one-click option to retrieve both HTTP and HTTPS share counts, ensuring you don’t lose your share counts when upgrading your website to HTTPS.</p>
<h3>GDPR</h3>
<p>Unlike other social sharing tools, this plugin does not use cookies, tracking scripts, or store any user data.</p>
<h3>Performance</h3>
<p>Shared Counts was created with site performance in mind, even at large scale. It is used on several large websites that get tens of millions of page views each month. Our unique and creative caching methods have a minimal affect on site overhead. Leveraging the SharedCount.com API, we can retrieve (almost) all share counts in a single request.</p>
<h3>Developers</h3>
<p>Additionally, Shared Counts was built to be developer friendly! We provide very liberal usage of hooks and filters. Everything is customizable and the possibilities are near limitless. Unlike other plugins all data (counts) are stored and cached in post_meta which makes it easy to access for extending (e.g. fetch top 10 most shared posts on your site). We have extensive documentation on <a href="https://sharedcountsplugin.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">our website</a> and we’re also on <a href="https://github.com/jaredatch/Shared-Counts/" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub</a>.</p>

Shared Counts – Social Media Share Buttons

Excellent plugin, very user friendly and easy to implement. Support also answered my question quick and efficiently.

Thanks!

Great Plugin

It was either gonna be Shared Counts or Social Warfare. I felt Shared Counts was cheaper, written just as well, very easy to work with. We did some crazy custom stuff.

- saved HTTP and HTTPS counts
- even changed permalink structure, and had it make calls to the old structure as well. 

So basically we were able to combine 3 counts:
- old permalink structure in HTTP
- old permalink structure in HTTPS
- new permalink structure in HTTPS

I'm happy camper. Counts are even cached so as to avoid slowing down your site under heavy load. Love you guys!!!

SO HAPPY WITH THIS PLUGIN!

This is a very nice plugin to have but, there is no clear or intuitive way to set it up. It seems like the questions in the Setting panel are good questions to have as options but when you go to use the plugin meta boxes in the individual post's editor, there is no clear way to "do anything" with the plugin.

I believe it is lacking the simple instructions as to what each functionality or button is supposed to do.

It will say ADD URL, for example, in the post editor metabox. And there is not a way of knowing what the url is or where it is going or what it is going to do if you enter the url.

Then it has a widget to add a new image which, I assume is going to be used as the image that is SENT to social media but, that too is unclear as to what the image "does."

Very ambiguous and lacks the UI/UX needed to use in confidence.

Very Nice But


I have installed your plugin version 1.4.1 in my website and because of nonce validation lack in hook wp_ajax_nopriv_shared_counts_email, my server was down for a whole day!!



The logs? DDoS Attack in wp-admin/admin-ajax.php with POST these data:



Array
(
    [action] => shared_counts_email
    [postid] => 
    [recipient] => 272935984@qq.com
    [name] => 开沪立送58礼金- www.13033.top -ぃAG视讯豪华厅，直播美女陪您决战到天亮，大额无忧；
    [email] => info@bmw.com
    [validation] => 
    [nonce] => 
)



Using nonces in ajax requests is fundamental principle of WordPress development...


DDoS because of your plugin

Shared Counts adds social media sharing buttons that look great and keep your site loading fast.
