Only two stars because it’s easy to use but still shows the old twitter icon instead of the new X which makes clients’ sites look outdated.

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.
