No external analytics. * **QR codes** for scan-to-share networks such as WeChat, generated on your own site. The encoder is only downloaded if a visitor opens one. #### Privacy Kloovia makes no third-party requests unless you switch on a feature that needs one, and it collects no telemetry of any kind. Share buttons are plain links to each network’s own share page; nothing is loaded from those networks until a visitor clicks. #### Networks Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, WhatsApp, Telegram, Reddit, Threads, Bluesky, Mastodon, Tumblr, Buffer, Xing, Messenger, VK, Odnoklassniki, Weibo, WeChat, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Houzz, Spotify, GitHub, Discord, RSS, email, SMS, copy link and print. #### Switching from Ultimate Social Media PLUS Kloovia detects an existing Ultimate Social Media PLUS installation and offers to import its settings: networks, links, icon style, sizing, placement and popup, in one click. Its `[DISPLAY_ULTIMATE_PLUS]` shortcode keeps working, so posts do not need editing. ### External services Kloovia makes no outbound requests at all in its default configuration. Every service below is optional and is only contacted after you enter a credential for it. **Facebook Graph API**: used only if you switch on automatic share counts for Facebook and supply an access token. Kloovia sends the URL whose count it is fetching, plus your token, to graph.facebook.com. Nothing about your visitors is sent. Terms: https:// developers.facebook.com/terms/. Privacy: https://www.facebook.com/privacy/policy/ **YouTube Data API (Google)**: used only if you switch on automatic counts for YouTube and supply an API key. Kloovia sends your channel ID and API key to www.googleapis. com to read the public subscriber count. Terms: https://developers.google.com/youtube/ terms/api-services-terms-of-service. Privacy: https://policies.google.com/privacy **Mailchimp**: used only if you set the subscription form’s provider to Mailchimp and supply an API key. The subscriber’s email address is sent to api.mailchimp.com when they submit the form. Terms: https://mailchimp.com/legal/terms/. Privacy: https:// www.intuit.com/privacy/statement/ **Brevo**: used only if you set the subscription form’s provider to Brevo and supply an API key. The subscriber’s email address is sent to api.brevo.com when they submit the form. Terms: https://www.brevo.com/legal/termsofuse/. Privacy: https://www.brevo. com/legal/privacypolicy/ Share buttons themselves contact nothing. They are ordinary links to each network’s own share page, so a network is only reached after a visitor clicks. ## Blocks This plugin provides 1 block. * Share buttons ## Installation 1. Upload the plugin to `wp-content/plugins/kloovia`, or install it from Plugins Add New. 2. Activate it. 3. Go to **Kloovia** in the admin menu, switch on the networks you want, and save. ## FAQ ### Does this slow my site down? Not on pages without buttons, where nothing is loaded at all. On pages with buttons it adds roughly 3.5 KB of CSS and 5 KB of JavaScript over the wire, and no image requests: the icons are one inline SVG sprite carrying only the symbols that page actually uses. ### Do share counts work for every network? No. Most networks closed their public count APIs years ago. Kloovia fetches counts where an API still exists and you have supplied a key, and lets you set a fixed number anywhere else. ### Does it work with caching plugins? Yes. The markup is identical for every visitor, so it caches cleanly. ### Can I add buttons in a specific place in my theme? Yes, use the `[kloovia]` shortcode, or call `echo do_shortcode( '[kloovia]' );` in a template. ### Does it set the image and title networks show when a page is shared? Yes. Kloovia can output Open Graph and Twitter Card tags, and every post gets optional overrides for the share title, description and image. It defers automatically when an SEO plugin is already emitting those tags, so nothing is output twice. ### What happens to my settings if I delete the plugin? Nothing, unless you asked for them to be removed. Deleting Kloovia leaves its settings in place so a reinstall picks up where you left off. There is an opt-in under Advanced if you want everything erased. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Kloovia – Share & follow buttons” is open source software.

The script ran before the popup markup existed in the page, so every trigger silently did nothing. The script is now deferred. * Fixed: closing the popup left keyboard focus on a hidden element, and Tab could leave the dialog while it claimed to be modal. * Fixed: button groups had no accessible name, so screen readers announced a bare list of links with no context. * Added: right-to-left stylesheet, loaded automatically on RTL locales. * Improved: redesigned the follow-us popup and the subscription form, which now use one shared accent instead of each inventing its own colour. * Improved: the settings screen lays related fields out side by side instead of one narrow column. #### 1.0.0 * First release. ## Meta * Version **1.0.1** * Last updated **1 day ago** * Active installations **Fewer than 10** * WordPress version ** 6.2 or higher ** * Tested up to **7.1.3** * PHP version ** 7.4 or higher ** * Tags * [share](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/share/)[share buttons](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/share-buttons/) [social media icons](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/social-media-icons/)[social share](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/social-share/) [social sharing](https://wordpress.org/plugins/tags/social-sharing/) * [Advanced View](https://wordpress.org/plugins/kloovia/advanced/) ## Ratings No reviews have been submitted yet.
