Sharebar

By Monji Dolon

Description

To get advanced Share options, go here!

Sharebar adds a dynamic and fully customizable vertical box to the left of a blog post that contains links/buttons to popular social networking sites. For wide blogs, a vertical bar with popular sharing icons appears on the left of your post. If the page is resized below 1000px (default), the vertical bar disappears and a horizontal sharebar appears under the post title.

Big Buttons are used in the vertical Sharebar to the left of the post, while the Small Buttons are used in the horizontal Sharebar that appears under the post title (by default) if the width of the page is less than 1000px (or whatever value you set).

Social sharing buttons

  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Pinterest
  • Email
  • Stumbleupon
  • Reddit

When Auto mode (enabled in settings) is ON, the Sharebars are added automatically. When Auto mode is off, you must manually add the sharebar code to your template files:

  • Vertical (next to post) Sharebar: <?php sharebar(); ?>
  • Horizontal Sharebar: <?php sharebar_horizontal(); ?>

You can also call an individual button in any template by using the following code (where size is either big or small): <?php sharebar_button('name','size'); ?>

Also, if you use and like the plugin, please rate it! ->

Installation

Upload the Sharebar plugin to your plugins directory, activate it and it should work out of the box. Then tweak the buttons and settings to your likings!

FAQ

Why doesn’t the vertical sharebar (next to post) work?

First, make sure the plugin is properly installed and if you’re using manual mode, the sharebar code has been added to your single.php template. If you’re using auto mode, verify that the sharebar list is being added to your post in the source code (look for <ul class='sharebar'>). If it’s not in the source, there is a problem with the plugin settings or implementation. If it is there, chances are the error is CSS-based – make sure the parent container element of the post (or the post element itself) does not have the overflow:hidden; CSS property applied to it, as it may sometimes render the sharebar invisible.

How do I get the sharebar to appear to the right of my blog?

Play with the Right Offset in the settings page of the plugin – this should include the total width of your sidebar or whatever elements are between your post and the right most edge of your blog.

Suggest to use wp_enqueue_style instead of echo for CSS styles

January 23, 2017
Hi, I've been using sharebar for long time so far. I'd like to know if you can consider to use the WordPress enqueue features in order to enqueue the required CSS styles, or a filter. So far, I noticed the CSS is inserted using an echo (see here: http://take.ms/s2niu ). It will be great if you can use wp_enqueue_style instead. Why I am asking about this? Because in my case I am trying to do some optimizations and minification of the css/js files and your styles are being added with media="screen". Thank you, Julian

Great plugin, been using for over 5 years without issue!

September 3, 2016
I am using this with sharethis buttons (over 5 years) and it works really well. All major social media share buttons including: facebook, pinterest, g+, twitter, etc. By default the social media buttons included with this plugin don't seem to work, except the facebook like button. I am assuming this is why there are a lot of negative reviews, however, if you use this with sharethis it works great, at least on my theme it did. There will be some finagling to get it just right on your theme most likely, but with a little css styling you can really get this working and looking good.
