Biggest opportunity: Swap “auto share” and “social sharing” for “social marketing” and “follower”. “auto share” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #24. “social marketing” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “social sharing” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #18. “follower” sits at #10 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.

How it's measured →2.9%
of downloads still active
At least 30K of 1M lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,277 plugins.
Downloads count every update, not just first installs, so older and more frequently released plugins read lower. Compare against other Social plugins, not across the directory. wp.org reports active installs as the bottom of a band, so the real rate is this or higher.
This plugin shipped 9 releases in the last 12 months, and every existing install that updated counted as another download. wp.org publishes no split between first installs and updates, so we show the raw rate rather than guess at one.

Had nothing but trouble with it for the last 3 months. It will not stay connected to my social media accounts. It won’t share. As soon as I check the settings and reconnect everything, by the time I reload the saved draft of my post, it has disconnected again. I’ve tried using 3 different computers, different browsers, clearing caches, and having my host check settings. It will not work. I’ve sent in help tickets with them and nothing. I’ve paid $200 USD for this pile of crap.

I am using the FREE version. It is working so good. I am getting my articles out to social sites. A lot of people have seen my posts that would never have seen them otherwise. Best social plugin ever!

You’re entering another dimension. A dimension not only of blog posts but of social sharing. Initially convenient and cool but somewhat limited, Jetpack Social Sharing has recently reached late adolescence. It lets you create the accompanying social posts from inside the WordPress blog post you’re writing (instead of manually in each social channel or via a paid service like Buffer) and has added customization per channel to its new abilities. (Note: I work for the company behind the software and have been whispering in the product designers’ ears.) This topic was modified 4 months, 2 weeks ago by zeldman.

Super easy to use, but doesn’t work with personal Facebook accounts nor personal Instagram accounts. I even tried to anchor a new Instagram business account to a Facebook page, so the plugin would pick it up, and the Instagram Android app just errored out. The plugin is pretty solid. But the partner ecosystem, i.e., what you can do with it, isn’t all that great.
