Good Sharing Plugin

Simple sharing plugin and easy to configure.

by yacosta42

Not great functionality

This plugin pulls my featured image, not my Pinterest image (which is coded for Pinterest). Also, there’s no option for email. Too bad, I was hoping it would have worked better.

It works fantastic

A clever solution that gives a lot of flexibility to any project. You can ignore the notification of updates. It works perfect with 4.9.8 WordPress and 2.7.1 genesis.

Doesn’t work with latest WP

Has this been abandoned? It’s being used in some themes and it’s broken. 🙁
