Inline Share Buttons

Installation

Install ShareThis Share Buttons just like any other plugin. Simply download the file directly from this page or search for us in the WordPress directory and click “Install”. After you install and activate the plugin, simply configure your buttons and create an account.

If you’re already using the new ShareThis buttons, and want to migrate to our WordPress plugin, we’ve got your back. Install the plugin, then from the first configuration screen click, connect to an existing property. Login, and select your property from the list. We’ll sync your settings from our platform. Don’t forget to remove the hard coded JS, and any hard coded inline share button divs!

FAQ

I reconfigured my buttons on the ShareThis platform, but nothing happened on my site. What’s going on here?: We cache your ShareThis platform button configurations (social networks, button size, labels etc.) to optimize their performance. Sometimes changes you make on the ShareThis platform take a couple minutes to update on your site. Also, if you activate a new button type from the settings page you may experience a similar lag.

I already checked this plugin 4 months ago. Some of options not working properly. I think you should debug. This plugin wasted my time. So I give this feedback.

I really liked the plugin! I use it in all my posts.I like the support even more! Very thoughtful! And it went way beyond due discovering that the problem was in the template and how to fix it.I just hope that maybe we will have other buttons in the future, like in the picture: prnt.sc/Q2ffEMlPlVfjThank you, guys. Happy new year.

I tried a few most popular catching plugin and when I turn them on it stops working. Do you have any recommendations how can I make it work with a catching plugin?

I don't care if ShareThis wants me to register an account, hey they are providing this service for free. What I do care about though is not having this plugin crash my site. Like an idiot I didn't preview my site with staging software and bam! this plugin created a white space on the top of my website. Eek! So, I uninstalled it. It was still there. So I clicked into the white space and hit delete to try and get rid of the white space. It got rid of most of it, but it gave me errors in my header file and I could no longer update any posts or pages! Of course "I'm sorry" didn't cut it for my client so I had to export files and delete WordPress & theme install and re-set up! I was using an up-to-date block-based premium Genesis theme (Mai theme), not a cheap theme. So... warning. If you use this plugin, be sure to use staging software or this could happen to you too.

Requires me to login and create an account. Which probably lets them monitor the shares on my site. Which is probably some demographic data mining. So, yeah. "proprietary api". Forget it.
