Once you install our WordPress plugin, you can customize our features to your liking in the plugin App Manger. It's simple, and takes only a few minutes. You can also change these settings at any time, so feel free to play around and test several combinations!
Here's an overview of the plugin feautures and remember that we have even more features available when you sign-up for a free Shareaholic.com account!
Shareaholic App Manager Interface
To start adding features, go to the App Manager interface accessed through the left menu of your WordPress admin. You'll see a section for In-Page Share Buttons and Related Content, as well as Website Monetization Settings. This is where you'll customize the look and feel of your apps to best fit your website's theme.
Share Buttons Settings
When you install Shareaholic, Share Buttons are automatically enabled, so you don't have to take any additional steps to install them. You have the option to insert them Above Content and/or Below Content, and we default to Below Content. You can enable or disable the app from an area by simply checking or unchecking the box.
Choosing where to display Share Buttons on your site
Each section includes an area: Post, Page, Index, and Category. These areas correspond to a standard template in your WordPress theme.
- Post relates to the permalink single-post view.
- Page templates is for an individual page (e.g. About Me).
- Index and Category templates display your recent post feeds. Index does not auto-insert Share Buttons on a static homepage.
