Sharezel – Social Share Buttons

Sharezel adds a clean, animated share menu to your posts and pages so readers can share your content on Facebook, WhatsApp, X (Twitter), Telegram, Messenger, LinkedIn, Pinterest, email, or copy the link — all with a single click.

Key features:

• Three display styles: floating popup button, floating bar, or inline (below content)
• 9 built-in platforms, individually toggled on or off
• Choose which post types the menu appears on
• Circle, rounded, or square icon shapes
• Custom accent color with the native WordPress color picker
• Optional text labels next to icons
• [sharezel_share_menu] shortcode for manual placement anywhere
• 100% inline SVG icons — no icon fonts, no external image requests
• No analytics, no visitor tracking, no data sent anywhere by the plugin itself
• Translation-ready
• Clean uninstall — removes its single settings option, nothing left behind

Privacy note: This plugin does not collect, store, or transmit any visitor data itself. When a reader clicks a share icon, their browser opens that platform’s own official share dialog directly — see “External services” below for exactly what that involves.

External services

This plugin does not run any background requests, analytics, or tracking of its own. However, several of the share buttons are simple links that open each platform’s own public share dialog directly in the visitor’s browser when they are clicked. No data is sent by the plugin or its author — the visitor’s browser communicates directly with the platform they chose to share to, the same as clicking a normal link to that site. Only the current page’s URL and title are included in that link, and only when the visitor deliberately clicks the corresponding icon.

The Email icon only opens the visitor’s own local email client via a standard mailto: link — no external service is involved. The Copy Link button only uses the browser’s built-in clipboard API — no external service is involved either.
