Waterloo Plugins

Social Shares uses the Facebook and Twitter APIs to fetch the total number of shares for each of your posts. The number of shares is stored in your database for any plugins to use. Social Shares can optionally display the number of shares on your posts. The number of shares is styleable. You can use the shortcode <code>[social_shares]</code> anywhere in your posts.
In addition, you can sort your posts by the number of shares. You can make a page that displays your posts with the most shares. Simply add <code>?sort_shares=desc</code> or <code>?sort_shares=asc</code> to the end of any WordPress URL to sort by the number of shares.

Social Shares

Get the number of Likes and Twitter Tweets for each post. Sort your posts by share count or display the share count.

<h4>#1 Like & Dislike Buttons for WordPress – Get Instant Feedback and Engagement</h4>
You’re creating great content, but you’re flying blind. Sound familiar? You don’t know which posts hit, which products people love, or what’s actually resonating with your visitors. Comments are great, but most people don’t comment. They just consume and move on.
<a href="https://wpulike.com/?utm_source=wp-repo&utm_medium=link&utm_campaign=readme" rel="nofollow ugc">WP ULike</a> fixes that. Voting buttons that let your visitors give instant feedback. No registration, no friction, no barriers. Just one click tells you exactly what’s working.
<h4>Here’s How It Works</h4>
Activate the plugin, and voting buttons automatically appear on your posts. Zero setup. Zero configuration. It just works.
Your visitors click to vote. You see what resonates. That’s it.
Every vote gets tracked so you can see which content your audience loves most. The dashboard shows your top-performing content and voting statistics—simple, actionable insights without the bloat.
And here’s what we’re proud of: it’s all privacy-safe. GDPR compliant with IP anonymization. We don’t store personal data—just the voting metrics that help you make better decisions.
<h4>The Three Things That Matter</h4>
One-Click Voting: Instant feedback buttons. No barriers, no registration required (though you can restrict to logged-in users if needed). Just pure, simple voting.
Clear Insights: A dashboard that shows you what’s actually working. Not vanity metrics—real data about what content your audience loves.
Privacy First: Built with privacy in mind from day one. GDPR compliant, IP anonymization. We respect your visitors because that’s the right thing to do.

We’ve been doing this for years, and we’ve seen who gets the most value:
Bloggers and content creators: Stop writing in the dark. See which posts actually resonate with your audience.
Store owners: Understand what your customers love. See which products get appreciation, not just views.
Community managers: Track what resonates in your forums and communities.
Anyone who wants feedback: Get instant voting feedback without waiting for comments or running surveys.

Low engagement? We fix that. Voting buttons with zero friction. No registration required—visitors just click and go.
Flying blind on what works? Not anymore. See exactly which content performs best. Real statistics, real-time data.
Privacy concerns? We get it. GDPR compliant with IP anonymization. No personal data stored—just the voting metrics you need.
Worried about speed? Don’t be. Vanilla JavaScript (no jQuery), optimized for performance, compatible with every major caching plugin. Built to be fast, not bloated.

We believe in giving you real value, not a teaser. The free version includes everything you need for instant voting and clear insights:
Voting Buttons: Auto-display on posts, or drop them anywhere with the <code>[wp_ulike]</code> shortcode. Works with WooCommerce, BuddyPress, and bbPress if you use them—but it’s not required.
