Overview
Socialize makes it easy to add relevant social sharing buttons to your posts and pages without clutter or complexity.
You can add sharing buttons in two locations:
1. Above your post content, left, right, or center aligned (or floating on the left or right)
2. In a call-to-action (CTA) box below your content
Unlike many other plugins, Socialize provides a panel within the post editor for selecting which buttons appear per post. This helps you display only the most relevant sharing options to encourage engagement.
You can also display a customizable CTA box below the content. Use this space to ask readers to comment, share or take another action. You control the message and which buttons appear here, on a per-post basis.
All visual elements, including button layout, floating behavior, and…
