Description

Native Social Share adds a clean and simple share button to your posts — powered by the browser’s native Web Share API with graceful fallbacks for Twitter (X), Facebook, and LinkedIn.

  • Automatically adds share buttons below, above, or both positions in posts
  • Supports auto dark mode (via prefers-color-scheme)
  • No JavaScript dependencies (zero jQuery)
  • Lightweight (~5KB including CSS & JS)
  • Progressive enhancement: uses native share where available, fallbacks otherwise

This plugin focuses on simplicity, accessibility, and performance. Perfect for modern WordPress themes that prioritize speed and native UX.
