Reviews

Pretty buttons, but not very flexible

laceybeach July 15, 2022
Despite showing options of showing the buttons after content, the only options that work are no buttons or buttons at the top of the content. According to the support area this problem has remained unsolved for at least 4 years! Also the plugin still supports the long-gone google+. Looks like the updates were superficial, but nothing of importance has been fixed or updated.

Great

Great extension, fast setting-up, lightweight.. Thanks to the developer, I could even place Social Sharing buttons on custom post types with a single small line of PHP code.. great for an event based website.

Very functional and lightweight plugin
