Sharezel adds a clean, animated share menu to your posts and pages so readers can share your content on Facebook, WhatsApp, X (Twitter), Telegram, LinkedIn, Pinterest, Reddit, Threads, Bluesky, email, or copy the link \u2014 all with a single click.<\/p>\n\n
Key features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n Privacy note:<\/strong> 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 \u2014 see \"External services\" below for exactly what that involves. The one exception is the optional Share count feature, which is off by default and, even when turned on, only ever contacts an external counting service if you separately configure your own API key \u2014 see \"External services\" for details.<\/p>\n\n This plugin does not run any background requests, analytics, or tracking of its own by default. 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 \u2014 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.<\/p>\n\n The Email<\/strong> icon only opens the visitor's own local email client via a standard The plugin works immediately with sensible defaults (a floating popup button near the top-right of the screen, showing 8 of the 11 available platforms) \u2014 you don't have to configure anything to start sharing. Visit Settings > Sharezel<\/strong> any time to adjust:<\/p>\n\n A live preview panel next to the settings form updates instantly as you change any option, so you can see exactly how the menu will look before saving.<\/p>\n\n Click Save Changes<\/strong> and the menu updates on your site immediately \u2014 no cache to clear beyond your usual page cache, if you use one.<\/p>\n\n You can also drop the menu manually into any post, page, or widget using the shortcode The plugin itself does not run analytics or tracking. Share icons are plain links to each platform's own official share dialog \u2014 see the \"External services\" section above for exactly what that involves and links to each platform's terms and privacy policy.<\/p><\/dd>\n\n
