<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 class=”myclass”]

You can specify a manual URL to be used for the sharing buttons:

<h4>Template Tags</h4>

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();
