Simple, effective, free, good support
-
I had to rummage through dozens of other WP social sharing plugins before I found this one, and it was worth the slog!
Every other one I looked at was either a bait-and-switch for a free version, or it contained blatant adware/spyware, or it created its own affiliate links or high-jacked yours — one, Shareaholic, was so egregious it spawned several blog posts warning users.
In huge contrast, the free Sassy Social Share provides ALL the social media sites, has many useful options, and my support question was answered in a day.
One thing I really like about this plugin is that you can choose only the most popular sites to display an icon for, then add the “More” icon and it creates a pop-up window for all the rest. So you don’t have to dismiss all the other sites yet you also don’t have row upon row of ugly icons cluttering up the bottom of your posts/pages.
I have only one complaint, and it is a small one: the icons sit too close to the bottom of the content. I would like to see more offset but there is no option in the standard interface to increase the offset.
BTW, if you like this plugin, and want to keep it free and the support good, you need to donate. Too often on WP a developer creates a great free plugin, it becomes wildly popular, then the developers become overwhelmed with support queries that eat up all their time. We users cannot have it both ways, and everything has a cost.
