Simple X Buttons adds X (Twitter) buttons to your WordPress posts and pages — the right way.
<h4>Why not use X’s official embed buttons?</h4>
X’s embed infrastructure (<code>platform.twitter.com/widgets.js</code>) has been unreliable since 2023, hitting HTTP 429 rate limits at scale and causing embeds to fail silently or load slowly. X has not committed to fixing this.
This plugin takes a different approach entirely.
<h4>What are X Web Intents?</h4>
Web Intents are plain URLs provided by X for sharing, following, mentioning, and more. They open a lightweight native X popup — no JavaScript SDK, no third-party cookies, no external scripts loaded on page load. You click, a popup opens, done.
That means:
<ul>
<li>No API key required — zero setup friction</li>
<li>No external scripts — nothing loads until the user clicks</li>
<li>No rate limits — static URLs, no API calls</li>
<li>GDPR-friendly — no cookies or tracking on page load</li>
<li>Fast — the plugin CSS is ~1 KB, loaded only when a button is on the page</li>
</ul>
<h4>Four button types</h4>
<ul>
<li>Share — opens X compose pre-filled with the post title, permalink, hashtags, and via handle</li>
<li>Follow — opens X’s native follow dialog for your account</li>
<li>Mention — opens X compose pre-filled with @yourhandle so visitors can tweet at you</li>
<li>Hashtag — opens X compose pre-filled with #yourtag; optionally pulls in the post’s own tags automatically</li>
</ul>
<h4>Features</h4>
<ul>
<li>Auto-insert before and/or after post content — choose which buttons and which post types per placement</li>
<li>Per-placement button control — show Share on all posts, Follow only on certain post types, etc.</li>
<li>Post tags as hashtags — Share and Hashtag buttons can automatically pull the post’s tags (capped at 5 to keep tweets writable)</li>
<li>4 Gutenberg blocks — X Share, Follow, Mention, and Hashtag blocks with live editor previews</li>
<li>4 Shortcodes — <code>[sxb-share]</code>, <code>[sxb-follow]</code>, <code>[sxb-mention]</code>, <code>[sxb-hashtag]</code></li>
<li>Template tags — <code>sxb_share_button()</code> and <code>sxb_button_bar()</code> for theme developers</li>
<li>Three button styles — Dark, Outline, Ghost</li>
<li>Popup or new-tab intent window</li>
</ul>
<h4>Integration</h4>
Four ways to add buttons to your site:
<ol>
<li>Auto-insert (recommended): Enable a placement in Settings → Simple X Buttons. Buttons appear automatically on every matching post type.</li>
<li>Shortcode: <code>[sxb-share]</code>, <code>[sxb-follow handle="yourhandle"]</code>, <code>[sxb-mention handle="yourhandle"]</code>, <code>[sxb-hashtag tag="travel"]</code> anywhere in content.</li>
<li>Block: Search for “X Share Button”, “X Follow Button”, “X Mention Button”, or “X Hashtag Button” in the Gutenberg block inserter.</li>
<li>Template tag: <code><?php sxb_share_button(); ?></code> or <code><?php sxb_button_bar(); ?></code> in theme templates.</li>
</ol>
<h4>Compatibility</h4>
<ul>
<li>WordPress 5.8 or higher</li>
<li>PHP 7.2 or higher</li>
<li>No API key required</li>
<li>No external JavaScript loaded on page load</li>
<li>Works with any theme</li>
</ul>
