Scriptless Social Sharing

If you’re looking to upgrade your workflow, Scriptless Social Sharing might just be the missing piece of the puzzle. Scriptless Social Sharing is a wee tool to add buttons to your posts/pages, to make it easier for your readers to share your content on social networks.

In this review, we’ll take a close look at its capabilities, setup process, and why it deserves a spot on your server.

Why It Stands Out

What separates a generic tool from a great one? Usually, it’s the attention to detail. The sharing links use the most basic methods provided by each network.

Key Highlights

• There is no JavaScript, nothing fancy included in this plugin, so if you want fancy, this is not the plugin you’re looking for.
• It just builds a set of links.
• The sharing buttons are accessible–even if you choose the “Icons Only” button styles, the network names are still part of the buttons, just hidden in an accessible-ready manner.
• There is a small settings page, so you can make decisions about which content types should have sharing buttons and where, what buttons should be added, and whether or not to use the plugin’s styles.
• Beyond that, developers may like to make use of filters throughout the solution.

We know you hate complicated setups. Luckily, Scriptless Social Sharing follows the standard WordPress protocols:

1. Grab the package from the repository.
2. Head over to your Dashboard and hit upload.
3. Activate it and look for the new settings panel (usually under Settings or Tools).

Quick Tip: It’s always a good idea to flush your cache after activating a new Plugin.
