Overview
This is the Shariff for WordPress plugin based on c’t Shariff.
For more information, check out the original GitHub project and the c’t information page.
Shariff enables website users to share their favorite content without compromising their privacy.
Facebook, Google+ and Twitter supply official sharing code snippets which quietly siphon personal data from all page visitors. Shariff enables visitors to see how popular your page is on Facebook and share your content with others without needless data leaks.

Great Plugin. Still working with WP 4.7.5
by Ralf Römling·8 years ago
Plugin can be updated without problems from Shariff at github. Just replace the files in /wp-content/plugins/shariff-sharing/dep/
Great Plugin
by vgz·9 years ago
It works like charm. I had to use a filter to make it compatible to Polylang, but at least it offers one 🙂
Works, but the code is quite bloated
by thomaswm·10 years ago
The plugin does what it should, but it installs the Zend Framework as well as a library called Guzzle in the plugin directory.
I have switched to the “Shariff Wrapper” plugin, which has the same functionality, but with far less code.
