Automatic Posting

Automatically posts your content to your social media accounts when you publish. Currently supports: Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, and X.

Manual Posting

You can also post any custom message to all connected accounts at any time using “Send a Message” without needing to publish a post.

Share Buttons

Automatically added to posts and other selected post types. Use the [simpleshare] shortcode to place buttons anywhere, or in PHP: <?php echo do_shortcode( '[simpleshare]' ); ?>.

1. Install and activate the plugin.
2. Go to Settings > SimpleShare.
3. On the “Posting” tab, enable the platforms you want to post to and follow the setup instructions for each one.
4. On the “Buttons” tab, choose which post types to show buttons on and which buttons to display.

How do I connect my website with my social profiles?

Each platform requires a developer app. The plugin guides you through setup with step-by-step instructions and handles all connections directly in your WordPress admin.

You can find more in-depth documentation here.

How quickly should new posts appear on my social profiles?

• Internal Feed: Posts are sent approximately 1 minute after publishing.
• External Feed: The default is every 10 minutes, but can be adjusted.

Why is auto-posting not working?

If you’ve followed the instructions, created the app, connected your website, and it’s still not working, start by checking the logs, then email me if you need help.

Can I style the share buttons?

To override the default styles, target .simpleshare and .ssbtn in your theme or custom CSS. Platform color classes: .ssbtn.facebook, .ssbtn.x, .ssbtn.linkedin, .ssbtn.reddit, .ssbtn.email, .ssbtn.copy, .ssbtn.print.
