Privacy Features
The German computer magazine c’t has developed “Shariff” (ʃɛɹɪf) that follows the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – Regulation (EU) 2016/679). This plugin adapts the Shariff concept.
The “original” share buttons from Facebook, Pinterest and others automatically transmit data of your visitors to the social network sites as soon as they visit your website. They do not need to click on a share button for this to happen and therefore have no choice. Shareaholic enables visitors to see how popular your page is and display share buttons without this needless leakage to the social networks (unless they decide to share, of course). This is done via server-side code that is part of this plugin to fetch share counts. Once fetched, share counts are cached to ensure maximum performance.
To take advantage of this privacy feature, enable “Share Count Proxy” under Advanced Settings.
Share Buttons for Images
- Automatically add Pinterest’s “Pin It” button and other social share buttons directly onto the images on your site to increase outbound traffic to your social sites, and inbound traffic to your website.
- Includes integrated share buttons for Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and more!
Floating Share Buttons
- Increase social sharing by 2x or more by adding our Share Button plugin that hovers on the side of the page, rather than in the page content.
Related Posts
- Increases pageviews, engagement, and time on site by highlighting related content & related posts that may not otherwise be discovered on your site. Shareaholic is not just yet another related content plugin. It’s simple installation & content dashboard allows you quickly customize what content is delivered and where on your site. You’ll be using well-engineered and optimized code that won’t slow or block your pages from loading.
- Help your users rediscover your entire content by including related posts on all of your pages.
- Choose between several themes to seamlessly match your site’s theme, design, and personality.

Shareaholic Shortcode Support / Manual Usage
You can place Share Buttons, Related Content and any other Shareaholic apps manually wherever you’re like in your theme. Simply insert the following Shortcode where you want the corresponding app to appear:
[shareaholic app="share_buttons" id="<Insert Shareaholic App ID here>"]
[shareaholic app="recommendations" id="<Insert Shareaholic App ID here>"]
[shareaholic app="ad_spaces" id="<Insert Shareaholic App ID here>"]
[shareaholic app="follow_buttons" id="<Insert Shareaholic App ID here>"]
[shareaholic app="total_share_count"]
Grab the corresponding App ID from your Shareaholic Dashboard for the App you want to manually insert into your theme. If you prefer, you can also use the App Name instead of the App ID. This can be very useful for multi-site installations and theme developers who would like to bundle Shareaholic. For example:
[shareaholic app="share_buttons" id_name="post_below_content"]
If both id and id_name are defined, id will take priority.
In your PHP / theme template code, you would add:
<?php echo do_shortcode ('[shareaholic app="share_buttons" id="<Insert Shareaholic App ID here>"]'); ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode ('[shareaholic app="recommendations" id="<Insert Shareaholic App ID here>"]'); ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode ('[shareaholic app="ad_spaces" id="<Insert Shareaholic App ID here"]'); ?>
<?php echo do_shortcode ('[shareaholic app="follow_buttons" id="Insert Shareaholic App ID here"]'); ?>
Note: optionally, you can specify title, link or summary as Shareaholic shortcode parameters. If you don’t specify these optional parameters, the shortcode will automatically determine these values.
Voorbeeld:
[shareaholic app="share_buttons" id="<insert shareaholic app ID here>" title="About Me" link="https://mysite.com/about" summary="This is me"]
If use double quotes (“‘s) in your title or summary, make sure to encode them properly as ". Shareaholic Shortcode’s are full featured and support all available configuration options available. Enjoy!

Shareaholic(
'getShareCounts',
{ services: ['facebook', 'pinterest'] },
(counts) => {
document.querySelector('#shr-share-counts').innerText = counts.total;
},

FAQ
-
Yes! Shareaholic’s core features are and always will be free.
-
Should I purchase a paid plan?
-
Shareaholic’s paid services include Share Count Recovery, advanced analytics, premium customization settings, priority support, and more. To learn more, visit our plan comparison page.
-
Not at all. You can manage Shareaholic without any coding using our user-friendly drag and drop interface.
We combine the functionality of many — social, content, and monetization plugins including: Contextual Related Posts (CRP), Social Warfare, Tasty Pins, Social Pug, Grow Social by Mediavine, Sassy Bookmarks, SexyBookmarks, Shariff, AddThis, AddToAny, and many others into one effecient and powerful package.
-
Something on your own personal device/browser/connection is likely filtering web functionality like major social buttons. The usual cause for this uncommon issue is 3rd party browser add-on software that blocks ads and optionally filters out major social buttons. For example, some security apps and Internet connections have an option to filter social buttons. Usually a social filter option is disabled by default, but if you find that some software is inappropriately filtering Shareaholic, please let us know.

Where can I find a detailed FAQ?
-
Please see here: Shareaholic Helpdesk
-
Where can I get detailed Usage & Installation instructions?
-
Please see here: Usage & Installation Instructions
-
Can I disable the redirect screen after activation?
-
When Shareaholic is activated it redirects to its welcome screen. If you want to prevent this you can use the function below:
/** * Disable Shareaholic activation redirect * * Use this if you use the TGM Plugin Activation to install plugins */ function prefix_shareaholic_disable_welcome_redirect() { delete_transient( '_shr_activation_redirect' ); } -
Can I disable the Review Notice forever?
-
If you want to prevent the Review Notice from appearing you can use the function below:
/** * Disable Shareaholic Review Notice * */ function shareaholic_disable_review_notice() { remove_action('admin_notices', array('ShareaholicAdmin', 'display_review_notice')); } add_action('admin_init', 'shareaholic_disable_review_notice', 11); -
You can disable Shareaholic In-Page Apps using a filter (PHP code) that you can add to a “functionality” plugin such as the Code Snippets plugin.
Disable Shareaholic In-Page Apps in specific categories, for example:
function shareaholic_disable_categories() { // Examples of in_category usage: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/in_category if ( in_category( array( 'my_category_1_slug', 'my_category_2_slug' ) ) ) { return true; } } add_filter( 'shareaholic_disable_share_buttons', 'shareaholic_disable_categories' ); add_filter( 'shareaholic_disable_recommendations', 'shareaholic_disable_categories' );Disable Shareaholic In-Page Apps on a custom post type, for example:
function shareaholic_disable_customposts() { if ( 'my_custom_post_type' == get_post_type() ) { return true; } } add_filter( 'shareaholic_disable_share_buttons', 'shareaholic_disable_customposts' ); add_filter( 'shareaholic_disable_recommendations', 'shareaholic_disable_customposts' );For all other apps, use “Targeting Rules” to disable apps from specific sections of your website.
-
The default Shareaholic thumbnail width is 640px with dynamic height and no cropping. The thumbnail size can be specified programmatically by adding
add_image_size('shareaholic-thumbnail', $width, $height, true);to your theme’sfunctions.phpfile with appropriate width and height variables.Each time you change Shareaholic’s thumbnail dimensions like this, you will probably want to have WordPress regenerate appropriate sized thumbnails for all of your images. We highly recommend the Regenerate Thumbnails plugin for this purpose.

16 juli 2024
I can only use it for the social sharing links, nothing else because it won’t allow me to link the plugin. Every time I add the URL it refreshes to the Add Site page with my site not listed.I’ve sent two support messages over a week ago and have not gotten a reply at all.
Why would I pay just to get premium support for something I haven’t been able to even try yet???
It looked promising but the frustration with support right now is killing that vibe.

I tried many plugins.Each of them showed some glitch, problem, limit.It’s not perfect and there is always space for improvement.But I’m happy and will follow every future version.
31 mei 2024
I am not sure how other people use it on my blog, but I use the plugin to announce to my FaceBook friends that I have posted a new blog. I don’t post every day, or even every week, so I needed a way to let people know when something new is there. This is quick and easy and my visitor count jumps when I use it.

Year after year, this is one of if not the best plugin for social buttons.
