## Description

**AttoSocial** is a modern, lightweight social sharing block for WordPress, engineered
from the ground up for the Block Editor and Full Site Editing (FSE).

Unlike legacy social sharing plugins that load heavy JavaScript libraries, external
icon web fonts, and third-party tracking scripts, AttoSocial delivers a fast, privacy-
first sharing experience with a **featherlight frontend footprint**.

#### Why AttoSocial?

 * **Ultra-Lightweight Frontend Footprint**: Renders pure, semantic HTML `<a>` tags
   with inline SVGs and minimal scoped CSS. No heavy libraries, no render-blocking
   third-party scripts, and optimal Core Web Vitals (INP, LCP, CLS).
 * **100% Privacy-First**: No tracking cookies, no third-party tracking pixels, 
   and zero background HTTP requests on page load. Fully GDPR and ePrivacy compliant
   out of the box.
 * **Crisp Server-Rendered SVGs**: Sharp at any screen resolution without downloading
   external font icon files (no FontAwesome or Dashicons).
 * **Built for the Block Editor & Full Site Editing**: Parent `attosocial/share`
   and child `attosocial/share-item` blocks with visual drag-and-drop, style presets(
   Default, Outline, Solid), responsive layout, and full core design tool integration(
   colors, borders, spacing, typography).
 * **Modern Social Networks Included**: Built-in support for modern networks including
   Bluesky, Threads, and Mastodon alongside classic platforms.

#### Built for the Block Editor

 * A parent **AttoSocial Share** block holds individual network buttons, so you 
   can add, remove and reorder them like any other blocks.
 * Works in posts, pages, patterns, and block theme templates and template parts.
 * Uses core block tools for alignment, layout, spacing, borders, colors and typography.

#### Style once, adjust where needed

 * Three style presets to start from: **Default** (icon in the network’s brand color),**
   Outline**, and **Solid**.
 * Set icon size, icon padding, icon border, border radius, icon color and background
   on the parent block, and every button inherits them.
 * Override color, background, size, border, padding or typography on any single
   button.
 * Optionally show network names next to the icons, with their own typography settings.

#### Sensible sharing defaults

 * The shared link and title are picked automatically: the current post or page 
   on single views, the archive on archive pages, and the search results on search
   pages.
 * Choose whether links open in a new tab. New-tab links use `rel="noopener noreferrer
   nofollow"`.
 * When labels are hidden, each button keeps screen-reader text and an accessible
   label such as “Share on Facebook”.

### External services

AttoSocial renders direct web share links to third-party services. On page load,
this plugin makes zero external HTTP requests, loads no external scripts or trackers,
and sets no cookies.

When a site visitor clicks a share button, their browser opens that service’s web
share URL in a new tab to compose a post. Public page metadata (the page URL and
title; for Pinterest, the featured image URL) is passed in the URL parameters only
upon explicit user click.

Note: The Email share button uses a standard local mailto: link that opens the visitor’s
default email application and does not transmit data to any third-party external
service.

## Blocks

 *   AttoSocial Share Display social sharing links for visitors to share your content.

## Installation

    to `/wp-content/plugins/`.
 2. Activate the plugin through the **Plugins** menu.
 3. Open a post, page or template in the Block Editor and insert the **AttoSocial Share**

## FAQ

### Does AttoSocial work with the Classic Editor?

AttoSocial’s sharing buttons are built natively for the Block Editor (Gutenberg)
and Full Site Editing.

### Can I style each network button differently?

Yes. Settings on the parent AttoSocial Share block apply to every button. Select
an individual button to override its color, background, icon size, border, padding
or label typography.

### Which Mastodon server is used?

The Mastodon button opens the share page on mastodon.social. Developers can point
it to another server with the `attosocial_service_definitions` filter.

### Does AttoSocial load any external tracking scripts or cookies?

No. AttoSocial does not load any third-party tracking scripts, sets zero cookies,
and makes zero background external requests on page load. It is 100% privacy-friendly
and GDPR compliant out of the box.

### How does AttoSocial help with site speed and Core Web Vitals?

AttoSocial is built with performance as a first principle. It renders clean inline
SVGs rather than downloading external icon web fonts (like FontAwesome or Dashicons),
avoids heavy third-party libraries, and adds virtually zero asset weight to your
pages, preventing layout shifts (CLS) and input delays (INP).
