Html Social share buttons
Add to ListHTML Social Share Buttons adds lightweight sharing controls to posts, pages,
sidebars, and page-builder layouts. Frontend output is server-rendered HTML and
CSS. Icons are served locally; no remote icon CDN or visitor tracking is used by
default.
Share actions and profile/contact links are separate. A share action opens a
network composer for the current page. A profile link opens a configured social
profile or email destination and is excluded from optional share analytics.
Use automatic content placement, either dynamic block, the classic widget,
Elementor, WPBakery, a shortcode, or the generated PHP snippet.
Current features:
- Facebook, X, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Telegram, Bluesky, and email sharing.
- Optional global profile/contact links with per-placement inherit or suppress controls.
- Audience controls for the content author, other logged-in users, and logged-out visitors.
- Dynamic Social Share and Social Links blocks for the block editor.
- Classic widget, Elementor, WPBakery, shortcode, and PHP integrations.
- Bootstrap Solid as the default for new installations, plus Flat, Long Shadow, Prajin, and Tabler Outline.
- Existing content configured with the historical Default pack keeps rendering it without migration.
- Square buttons in every set; circle buttons in Flat, Long Shadow, Prajin, Bootstrap Solid, and Tabler Outline.
- Automatic before/after placement and floating left/right placement.
- Responsive floating rails that become centered, wrapping rows at 600px and below.
- Per-network URL templates and exclusions by post/page ID, slug, or searchable content.
- Optional Google Social Analytics support, disabled by default.
- Translation-ready admin and editor strings.
Shortcode examples:
[zm_sh_btn iconset="long-shadows" iconset_type="square" icons="facebook,x,linkedin,pinterest,mail" class="in_widget"]
[html-social-share-buttons iconset="tabler-outline" iconset_type="circle" profile_links_mode="inherit"]
The historical [zm_sh_btn] tag remains supported. Use class="in_widget"
for a horizontal row.
