What it does
Readers share content more often when the buttons are easy to find and look like they belong on the site. Social Warfare - Pro gives you share buttons for major networks such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Pinterest, and lets you style them to match your branding. You choose where they appear: above your content, below it, or floating alongside it as visitors scroll. The buttons are responsive, so they work on phones and tablets as well as desktop screens.
The plugin also helps you see what happens after people share. It tracks share counts so you can tell which posts get picked up on social networks, and it can work with Google Analytics to give you a fuller picture of social traffic. Custom share messages let you write different copy for each network. If you move to a new domain or switch to a secure connection, share count recovery can restore counts that would otherwise reset. It requires the core Social Warfare plugin to run.
Best for
- Bloggers who want readers to share their posts
- Content and news sites tracking social shares
