Social Media Share Buttons & Social Sharing Icons Premium lets you configure WordPress icons for sharing content or directing visitors to profiles, email, RSS, and other destinations. Choose networks and actions, then set the appearance and placement of the icons.

Choose networks and actions

Standard destinations include RSS, email, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Instagram, and YouTube. The general Share option covers more than 200 other social platforms. Premium adds dedicated choices such as Snapchat, WhatsApp, Yummly, Yelp, SoundCloud, Skype, Flickr, Blogger, Reddit, Vimeo, Tumblr, Xing, VK, Telegram, Amazon, Goodreads, Steam, Twitch, Spotify, Discord, GitHub, Etsy, Patreon, and Print, among others.

An icon can perform several actions. For example, a Facebook icon can link to a page and give visitors a Like option. Premium also lets you set Tweet text to include post titles automatically, enable Facebook follows without sending visitors away from your site, and configure additional email actions such as sharing by email, contacting you, or linking to a specified page.

Set designs and placement

Choose from additional and themed designs, or upload custom icons. Icons can float or stay sticky as visitors scroll. Premium placement controls include anchors and margins, and you can choose pages where icons should not appear. Set separate network selections for mobile, display icons beside or after posts, and add optional counters where networks provide count data. Twitter share counts are unavailable because Twitter stopped supplying them.

Configure prompts and subscriptions

Customized pop-ups can ask visitors to follow or share. Show them across the site or on selected pages, limit how often they appear to the same user, or display them when someone is about to leave. An optional email subscription form gives visitors another way to subscribe to the blog.

Setup sequence

Configure the extension in this order:

1. Choose the social icons to display.
2. Define the actions for each icon.
3. Select designs and animation settings.
4. Add counts if required.
5. Choose placement and other sharing options, such as floating icons.
6. Optionally add icons beside or after blog posts.
7. Configure a follow-or-share pop-up.
8. Optionally add an email subscription form.

Install and activate the extension in WordPress, then follow its setup steps. Review the network, action, styling, and placement choices before displaying the configured icons on your site.
