Sharelet – Social Share Buttons

Vanliga frågor

How does each button work?

Pinterest shares title (from page’s og:title meta tag) + description (from SEO plugins, excerpt, or trimmed content) with featured image. Facebook shares page title, description, and image from Open Graph meta tags. Twitter shares your post title (up to 280 chars). Bluesky and Threads share the post title with your username mention. Mastodon, Telegram, Reddit, and WhatsApp share the post title and link.

What’s enabled by default?

After activation, Facebook, Twitter, and Pinterest buttons appear above and below your posts automatically. You can customize which buttons display and adjust button position in Settings → Sharelet Social Share.

Is this plugin free?

Yes. Facebook, Twitter (X), Pinterest, Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, Telegram, Reddit, and WhatsApp buttons are completely free and always will be. Copy Link, Email, Ask ChatGPT, and Ask Perplexity utility buttons require a one-time $19 premium add-on.

Will this slow down my site?

No. The free plugin loads zero JavaScript and minimal CSS. We use lightweight SVG icons. Only the Copy Link button (premium) adds 347 bytes of JS. No external requests, no performance impact.

Is there tracking or data collection?

No. Sharelet doesn’t collect any data about shares or user behavior. When visitors click share, they go directly to the social platform. Your site and visitor privacy are fully protected.

Do I need a subscription?

No. The premium add-on is a one-time $19 payment. No renewals, no monthly fees, ever.

Can I place buttons manually?

Yes. Use the shortcode [shrlt] anywhere. To show specific buttons: [shrlt networks=”facebook,twitter,pinterest,bluesky,threads,whatsapp,mastodon,telegram,reddit”]

How do I temporarily disable all buttons?

Use the ”Enable share buttons” toggle at the top of Settings → Sharelet Social Share. Turn it off to hide all buttons site-wide, or turn it back on to restore them. Your button selections are preserved when you toggle.

How many buttons should I show?

4-5 is the sweet spot. More than that and they start wrapping to a second row. Stick to the buttons your audience actually uses.

Does this work with custom post types or WooCommerce products?

Automatic button placement supports Posts and Pages only. Sharelet is built for blogs, not WooCommerce or other custom post types. You can still add buttons anywhere, including custom post types, with the [shrlt] shortcode.

What’s included in the premium add-on?

All social network buttons are always free. The premium add-on adds Copy Link, Email, Ask ChatGPT, and Ask Perplexity utility buttons for additional sharing options. Includes all future utility button updates. No subscription, no renewals.

How do the premium utility buttons work?

Copy Link copies your post URL to the clipboard with visual feedback. Email opens your default email client with the link pre-filled. Ask ChatGPT and Ask Perplexity open their respective AI platforms in a new tab with your post title and URL pre-loaded so you can instantly ask questions about your content.
