Biggest opportunity: Swap “social share” and “share button” for “auto share” and “twitter share”. “social share” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “auto share” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “share button” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “twitter share” sits at #6 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 →5.3%
of downloads still active
At least 2K of 37.5K lifetime downloads are still running, above its category: the median Social plugin keeps 0.5%, across 1,276 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 2 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.

What to do about it
- Swap “social share” and “share button” for “auto share” and “twitter share”. “social share” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #16. “auto share” sits at #5 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. “share button” isn't earning its slot: it only gets you to #12. “twitter share” sits at #6 untagged, close enough for a declared tag to move it up. All five slots are taken, so one has to go.
- One page off on “share button”. #12 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.
- One page off on “social share”. #16 puts you just past the first ten results, where almost all the clicks stop. The gap to close is small.

All reviews on wp.org ↗- ★★★★★ harc1.1y ago
Works great for mobile browsers and leverages their built in features. Looks good on desktop, doesn’t push every possible social media icon, could use a few more popular options, but has everything I needed (including Mastodon!). The only function I was missing turned out to be undocumented but was there, and works as expected (custom url on a share).

This is a great plugin for adding share button to your site. I especially appreciate that it works with The Events Calendar plugin on individual events. I took off one star because the interface is a bit clunky and the customization options for buttons (could be overcome with some custom CSS) are limited. Also, it wasn’t clearly stated that the availability of sharing destinations was dependent on the browser from which you are sharing (sharing options on Android is better than the desktop counterparts). For instance, sharing on the desktop browser only shares to your personal Facebook feed, whereas sharing from the Android browsers allow Facebook feed, groups and pages.

This very cool plugin does exactly what I was looking for: one sharing button, that triggers a modal with all the possible apps, or the regular social buttons on desktop AND which I can use with my custom inline button. Yay! Very easy to set up with plenty of options and customization possibilities! Thank you! EDIT: Also, the GDPR compliance was another feature I was looking for. “The plugin does not use any cookies or tracking scripts or store any user data.” Thank you for that! 😀

Finally, a SIMPLE and BEAUTIFUL share button. The button is well visible and smart in terms of configuration. Several styles and appearances to choose from. Free to use, no premium version, nothing fancy. That’s fine for me.
