Description
A simple, easy to use, easy to configure social bar that will allow a user to add social share links to their WordPress website. This plugin came from the idea implemented with the popular Share Bar plugin (https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sharebar/), but offers many improvements:
- Completely new, easier to understand code base making it easier for possible community contribution and personal customization
- No additional database tables, but instead utilizes a private custom post type for social link buttons
- Better control over where the bar appears allowing for per-post type filtering
- Less obtrusive implementation for better caching and minification plugin compatibility as well as control over when the plugin is loaded
- Simpler administrative interface with drag and drop ordering capabilities
Works in IE7+, Firefox 2+, Chrome 2+, Safari 3+ and Opera 9+; vertical following does not work in IE6. Utilizes jQuery for JavaScript processing, although it is setup to work properly with other libraries, your experience may vary. Requires PHP 5.2+.
This plugin is free to use and is not actively supported by the author, but will be monitored for serious bugs that may need correcting.
