Sharing buttons shortcode for Jetpack

How well this listing is tuned to rank in WordPress.org search, on the factors an owner controls. Not popularity, optimization.

Directory searches this plugin turns up in, and which way each one is moving. WordPress.org publishes no history of search positions, so this starts the day we first tracked a keyword and never backfills.

Not enough tracked days yet to call a direction. Momentum needs at least three keywords measured a week or more apart.

wp.org is where the directory puts the plugin for that search. On merit is where it would sit if results were ranked on rating, support and updates, without the install boost. The last column is how far the wp.org position moved, from our first reading in the last 90 days to the latest.

1 search this plugin appeared in over the last 90 days. 3 of its tags aren't in the top 24 for their own search.

Directory rank vs rivals

wp.org popularity rank over time · higher is better · when a rival's line climbs above yours, they've overtaken you

How often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Share of active installs on each version of this plugin · 100% run the current release. Green is the current release; a big slice on older versions is a user base that has stopped updating.

Crossed into this band today and a band this size takes about a year or more to cross, so the real count is still just under 800.

   Hunted this plugin down when looking for a solution to fix Jetpack share buttons not displaying on front page. Now using it on other site for control of placement

   There is a big gain after the line of the sharing (If I use with “more” button) I need a “class” that differentiates the short-code lines from the rest of the original share jetpack lines. I can’t fix that in scc, only what I has been added.

   Hi! This was exactly what I was looking for. I didn’t matter even if this plugin didn’t work. (In fact plugin just made my whole site disappear until i switched it off. Heh. 🙂 ) I opened up the plugin’s code (which is really just few lines) and took out what I needed. Following lines I added to my own custom theme file ‘shorcodes.php’, which I call in the head of each page, and yes, it works. 🙂 function tweakjp_sd_shortcode() { if ( function_exists( 'sharing_display' ) ) { return ' <div class="shortcoded-share-buttons">'. sharing_display().' </div> '; } } add_shortcode( 'jpshare', 'tweakjp_sd_shortcode' ); So thanks! You made me saving a lot of trouble to find out how to call the Jetpack share buttons otherwise. 🙂
