Why are the Share Buttons for WordPress free and Open Source?

Social Share buttons without tracking is a small project done by Privacore: When we build our own website it was hard to find a simple Wordpress plugin that didn't add some kind of tracking code/script. And that was not what we wanted - so we created out own plugin.

How does Share Buttons work?

It is done as simple as possible, but gives you great control over what you want to share when a visitor clicks the icon.

When you click a sharing icon, it opens a standard popup and extracts the text and image the editor added to the post.

How can I use it on my post as an author?

As an post author you can change the Image for the social post if you want another than the default image.

Facebook shares from the blog post

For Facebook posts the Titel and description field can be edited and tailored facebook users.

Twitter shares from the blog post

As an author, you might think a post deserves to be shared as a card or large card on twitter, and you can select which of the styles yo want to use.

Linkedin shares from the blog post

For Linkedin posts the Titel and description field can be edited and tailored facebook users.

Can I change the Social Icon images?

The WordPress plugin comes with standard official icons from Facebook, Twitter and Linked in. You can change them in the code, but not via the WP-admin interface.

Control it page by page and post by post

You can manually choose to add the buttons on the pages and posts you want to.
