Description
Shoutbar gives publishers tidy share and follow buttons without the bloat of social SDKs. One settings screen — led by a live preview — lets you pick networks, drag them into order, and choose a style (solid, outline or minimal), shape, size, labels and alignment.
Decide where buttons appear: auto-inserted before/after content on the post types you choose, placed manually with the [shoutbar] shortcode or Shoutbar block, or shown in an optional floating bar (left rail on desktop, bottom bar on mobile). A separate follow-us set links to your own profiles via [shoutbar_follow].
No third-party JavaScript SDKs, tracking pixels or cookies — just plain share links and a tiny first-party script. Because the networks discontinued their public share-count APIs, Shoutbar doesn't fake global counts; it offers an honest, opt-in local click counter instead. Assets load only where buttons render. Built to WordPress standards — capability checks, nonce-verified AJAX, sanitised input, escaped output — translation-ready and accessible.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which social networks are supported for sharing and following?
Shoutbar supports share buttons for X (Twitter), Facebook, LinkedIn, Reddit, WhatsApp, Telegram, Pinterest, Email, and Copy-link. Follow buttons cover your own profiles on those networks plus Instagram and YouTube, linking visitors directly to your pages.
Does Shoutbar load any third-party scripts, tracking pixels, or cookies?
No — Shoutbar uses plain share links and a single small first-party script, with no third-party JavaScript SDKs, tracking pixels, or cookies of any kind. This keeps your site lean, fast, and compliant with privacy regulations without sacrificing functionality.
Will Shoutbar show public share counts for my posts?
No, because major social networks discontinued their public share-count APIs, Shoutbar does not display or fake global share counts. Instead, it offers an honest opt-in local click counter that privately tracks clicks in your own WordPress install — no external service required.
How can I control where the share and follow buttons appear on my site?
You have four placement options: auto-insert before and/or after content on the specific post types you choose, the [shoutbar] and [shoutbar_follow] shortcodes for manual placement, the native Shoutbar block in the WordPress block editor, or an optional floating bar (a left rail on desktop, a bottom bar on mobile).
What customisation options are available for the button appearance?
From a single settings screen with a live preview, you can choose a style (solid, outline, or minimal), button shape, size, labels, and alignment. You can also drag and drop networks into your preferred order, and all changes are reflected instantly in the live preview before you save.
Is Shoutbar built to WordPress coding standards, and is it translation-ready?
Yes — Shoutbar is built to WordPress standards including capability checks, nonce-verified AJAX, sanitised input, and escaped output. It is also fully translation-ready and loads assets only on pages where buttons actually render, so there is no unnecessary overhead on the rest of your site.
