the theme, e.g. to add the Like Button to the header or Comments to the<br />
footer.</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.
