About Social Share Buttons for WordPress
Sharing depends less on your content than on how easy it is
You publish an article worth spreading, and instead of sharing it the reader closes the tab because they can't find the button or their favorite network isn't an option. Every extra step you ask of a visitor is a share that never happens. Social Share Buttons for WordPress, by Elfsight, puts that action one click away, with no coding.
40+ networks and two ways to display them
You can choose from more than 40 networks and services. They include Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Amazon, Blogger, Email, Facebook Messenger, LiveJournal, Skype, Telegram, Tumblr, Viadeo and Viber. That matters because your audience doesn't use the same network you do: if you sell to people who live on Telegram or Messenger, offering only the usual two or three leaves them out.
The plugin has two layouts:
- Built-in: the buttons sit in a specific spot on the page, for example above or below the content.
- Floating: the buttons follow the visitor as they scroll, so they are always within reach.
Adjustable design without writing code
These are the customization options for the buttons:
- Shape and transparency of the buttons.
- Predefined color schemes, or your own colors and fonts.
- Alignment to the left, right or center.
- Gutter size between buttons, number of columns and width of each button.
- Which elements each button displays.
- Duplicate, edit and reorder buttons, and add as many as you want.
With the shortcode generator you can place them wherever you need: in the content area, before or after the text, in a popup, in a side panel or in any sidebar. You can also embed them in the theme code with the shortcode.
Sharing doesn't gain followers on its own
The plugin gives you the button, not the reason to click it. Here is what it solves and what is up to you:
- It solves: share buttons for more than 40 networks, built-in and floating layouts, your own design and placement with a shortcode.
- You cover: the original, appealing content people want to spread.
- You cover: the presence and activity on your profiles, because the plugin shares to the networks, it doesn't manage them.
- You cover: deciding which networks to offer based on your audience, so the page isn't filled with icons nobody uses.
It is also not a plugin for displaying your feed or automatically publishing your posts to social networks: its job is to let the visitor share what they read.
How to get the most out of Social Share Buttons for WordPress
Start with a few networks, the ones your audience really uses, and place them where the reader finishes reading, or use the floating version if your texts are long. Check in the demo how they look on mobile before choosing the layout, because that is where most sharing happens and where a floating block can get in the way.
