Description

Social Sharing By Danny

The simplest sharing links possible for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+.

Most social sharing plugins are too ugly, heavy, complicated or poorly coded for my liking. This plugin aims to be better: simple, lightweight and flexible.

No script dependencies

From itself, the buttons are actually plain text links which require NO external scripts. It makes no sense to load over 50 kilobytes of scripts and styles for a functionality 95% of your users will not use.

Simple yet pretty & user-friendly

You can have the plugin load two very small files to add icons and a pop-up functionality to the sharing links. This way, users do not have to leave your website after clicking a sharing option. Loading of both files can be disabled so you can craft your own styles.

Plugin Features

  • Sharing links for Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+
  • Simple icon styles with a hover effect
  • Simple script of just 600 bytes (not jQuery dependent) which will make the links open in a pop-up window.
  • A shortcode and a template function to display the buttons anywhere you want.
  • An overridable filter to set the condition for when to display the sharing links.
  • Translation ready

Additional Customization

Have a look at the frequently asked questions section for some examples of additional customization.

FAQ

Can I display the sharing buttons using a shortcode?

Yes, you can use the following shortcode (eg. inside posts or pages).

[dvk_social_sharing]

Can I display the sharing buttons using a template function?

Yes, you can use the following PHP function from your template files.

<?php echo dvk_social_sharing(); ?>

I want more control over when to show the sharing options

Use the dvkss_display filter to show the links in more places.

Example 1: will add the sharing links to everything possible

add_filter('dvkss_display', '__return_true');

Example 2: will add the sharing links to all single posts, pages and other post types.

function my_display_condition() {
    return is_singular();
}

add_filter('dvkss_display', 'my_display_condition');

Great plugin

Just what I was looking for!

Toronto SEO Guy Otubar 31, 2017
I'd been looking high and low for a simple, minimalist social sharing plugin and finally found it in Social Sharing by Danny! Unlike the vast majority of the other social sharing plugins out there, Danny's frees you of the unwanted bells and & whistles that just needlessly suck up resources and complicate things. This plugin is reliable, flexible, beautiful, and super-easy to implement. Best of all, the developer, Danny, is incredibly responsive and receptive to new ideas. In fact, I recently suggested a new feature and boom - literally within hours Danny had it integrated into the plugin and working perfectly. Thank you Danny!

Awesome plugin

chekmate Setembar 2, 2017
Finally a plugin that doesn't use the wrong image for posting to Facebook and keeps all the options on facebook available. I can chose my page or my profile to post to. Love it.
