EffectIO Shared Counts 1.5.0

Description:

Shared Counts is a WordPress social media share buttons plugin. Sharing buttons help readers share your posts and pages with their friends on social media, increasing traffic and engagement. Included buttons cover Facebook, Pinterest, Yummly, Twitter, Email, LinkedIn, Print, and a Share Count Total. The Twitter Tweet button uses the third-party Twitcount.com API. Facebook, Pinterest, Yummly, and Twitter buttons support social count display and tracking.

The plugin settings let you choose where buttons appear automatically: before content, after content, or before and after content. A checkbox in the edit screen disables the buttons on a specific post, and the [shared_counts] shortcode places them manually. Many styling options are included. A one-click option retrieves both HTTP and HTTPS share counts so counts are not lost when upgrading to HTTPS. The plugin does not use cookies, tracking scripts, or store any user data.

It is built with site performance in mind and is used on large websites that get tens of millions of page views each month. Caching methods keep overhead minimal, and the SharedCount.com API retrieves almost all share counts in a single request. Developers get liberal hooks and filters, and counts are stored in post_meta for easy access. Add-on plugins cover a separate Pinterest image and cache status tools. Documentation is on the plugin website and GitHub.
