Il fonctionne parfaitement, il est simple et esthétique. En plus, on peut utiliser un code court (shortcode) pour les thèmes personnalisés.

Excellent!

A fine, lightweight plugin!

Doesn’t work – waste of time

DevelopNovaNumis October 8, 2019
If I have to spend more than 10 minutes fiddling to get a plugin that is allegedly compatible with WordPress, I dump it. I don't have the time to fiddle with junk code. If there was zero stars, that's what this plugin would earn.

Works great.

Nice simple solution to social media sharing. Thanks Arjun.

Very simple and nicely done

crzyhrse June 1, 2019
Wanted something simple with a shortcode I could use in select sidebars, and this does it nicely, all I needed additional was to round off corners with a little css, which I'll share here for others... .ss-button-facebook, .ss-button-twitter, .ss-button-reddit { border-radius: 6px; }
