This plugin will query the popular social network APIs and retrieve the number of shares/likes/plusones from each. All shares are added up and calculated together to give you the total number of shares. All that is returned is a simple number. This number represents the number of shares, likes, tweets, +1’s, and pins.
The plugin can be utilized two ways, the first method is the AJAX route which will require you to add a little javascript to your template. This method is the preferred method if you are requesting the share count for multiple posts on one page load. For example on an archive page. Below is a quick example of how that is done:
<pre><code>jQuery.get(ajaxurl, { action: "get_total_shares", url: "<?php the_permalink(); ?>" }).done(function(data) { var shareNum = parseInt(data); // your total number of shares }); </code></pre>
Note: You can call this AJAX anyway you wish, but you must pass <code>the_permalink();</code> as the <code>url</code> parameter and <code>"get_total_shares"</code> for the <code>action</code> parameter.
If you are just displaying the share count for one post at a time, you may use the plugin shortcode to return the number. That shortcode is <code>[tyme_share_count]</code>
This plugin also refreshes the Facebook Open Graph scraper each time a post is published. This ensures the proper images and content are being served to Facebook when shared.

A WordPress plugin that adds Bannerbear Signed URL functionality to WordPress sites.
<h3>What is Bannerbear?</h3>
<a href="https://www.bannerbear.com/" rel="nofollow ugc">Bannerbear</a> is a SaaS service that auto-generates images, based on dynamic parameters that you send, and templates you have set up on the Bannerbear back end.
<h3>What does this plugin do?</h3>
This plugin provides an easy interface to add Bannerbear Signed URL images to your WP theme.
Bannerbear Signed URLs are dynamic urls that generate images on the fly based on templates. This plugin helps you map WP variables (title, date etc) to templates, and then inserts those URLs into WP posts and pages.
One use case for this is auto-generating Open Graph images.
<h3>Who is this plugin for?</h3>
This plugin requires a Bannerbear Scale or Enterprise account and is best suited for agencies managing WordPress sites for multiple clients, or individual users with large WordPress sites.
<h3>Usage</h3>
Pre-requisite: Create a Bannerbear project and add a template (or duplicate this <a href="https://app.bannerbear.com/p/B2zYp0bOvEKD9J5mVZ" rel="nofollow ugc">sample template</a>) to your project.
<ul>
<li>Go to Bannerbear Plugin.</li>
<li>Select “Add New” and paste your Bannerbear Project <a href="https://www.bannerbear.com/help/articles/64-where-do-i-get-my-api-key/" rel="nofollow ugc">API Key</a>.</li>
<li>Select a template from your list of templates.</li>
<li>This will automatically create and grab a <a href="https://www.bannerbear.com/help/articles/179-generate-images-using-signed-urls/" rel="nofollow ugc">Signed URL Base</a> from the template, and all available template modifications will be listed.</li>
</ul>
Each API modifiable layer will have a dropdown menu that can be mapped with fields from the WordPress site. Select layers that you want to modify and choose where you want to apply the template/Signed URL.
You can then embed it as a shortcode/snippet or add as a Block on WordPress pages.
