We'll create fresh WordPress site with Shared Counts – Social Media Share Buttons installed. You have 20 minutes to test the plugin after that site we'll be deleted.
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.
Included Buttons
– Facebook Share Button
– Pinterest Pin Button
– Yummly Button
– Twitter Tweet Button (using the third-party Twitcount.com API)
– Email Sharing
– Share Count Total
– Print Button
– LinkedIn Share Button
Facebook, Pinterest, Yummly, and Twitter buttons support social count display and tracking.
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.
You can use the [shared_counts]
shortcode to manually display the buttons.
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 [shared_counts]
shortcode to insert them inside your content as you see fit.
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.
Unlike other social sharing tools, this plugin does not use cookies, tracking scripts, or store any user data.
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.
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 our website and we’re also on GitHub.
For details on this please see the Shared Counts website and our GitHub wiki.
