## Popis
**Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries** turns every post into an AI-aware destination.
It generates an **inline AI summary** readers can expand next to the share buttons,
and offers one-click sharing to every major social network and the leading AI assistants.
Among the **first plugins to integrate the native WordPress 7.0 AI Connectors API**:
configure your AI provider once in **Settings > Connectors** (OpenAI, Anthropic,
Google) and the plugin reuses those credentials — no API keys to manage, no extra
accounts.
#### Inline AI Summary
* **Two-tier cascade**: Level A uses the WordPress 7.0 AI Client; Level C is a
built-in PHP extractive fallback with zero API cost on any WP 6.1+ install.
* **Choose your AI model and mode**: pick the provider and model used to generate
summaries, or leave it on Automatic to use a fast, cost-effective model instead
of the newest, most expensive one. Set how generation behaves too: AI with extractive
fallback, AI only, extractive only, or disabled.
* **Paragraph or bullet-list format**: show the summary as prose (one paragraph
per sentence) or as a concise bullet list, with configurable length (1-5 sentences
or points).
* **Collapsible inline block** with native ``, `data-nosnippet` and Schema.
org `CreativeWork` microdata so search engines treat it as derived content, not
competition.
* **Editor controls** in the block sidebar and the classic meta box: view, edit
manually, regenerate on demand, hide per post (independently from the buttons).
* **Visitor-facing „Generate AI summary“ button** for posts without a stored summary,
restrictable to extractive-only or open to the AI Client.
* **Async generation via WP-Cron**. `[ayudawp_aiss_summary]` shortcode also available.
#### Sharing
* **Social networks**: X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, Telegram, WhatsApp, Email,
Raindrop, Reddit, Bluesky, LINE, Mastodon, Threads, Pinterest.
* **AI assistants**: Claude, ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek,
Mistral, Copilot, Qwen, Meta AI — each opens with a citation-ready prompt linking
back to your URL.
* **Browser actions**: a **Copy link** button and a **native Share** button that
opens the device share sheet (reaching WhatsApp, Signal, Instagram, Messages
or AirDrop), shown only where the browser supports it.
* **Where they show**: inline before or after the content, through the `[ayudawp_share_buttons]`
shortcode, or in a **floating bar** pinned to the left, the right or the bottom
of the screen — on its own or alongside the inline block.
* **Compact on phones**: optionally collapse the whole set behind a single Share
button, or show a few buttons plus a More button, without touching the desktop
layout.
* 6 visual styles, 4 sizes, custom colors, brand SVG icons, dark-mode auto-adaptation,
drag-and-drop ordering, optional UTM tagging. SEO-friendly (`` or ``, auto-exclusion on noindex content for all major SEO plugins).
#### Analytics
* Click tracking per platform and per post, timeline chart with per-platform breakdown,
period comparison (previous period, same period last year, custom range), CSV
export.
* Dashboard widget with 7-day sparkline. [VigIA](https://wordpress.org/plugins/vigia/)
cross-reference (clicks vs. AI crawler visits) when active. Redis/Memcached compatible.
#### Why use it?
1. **Cite your source naturally**: when readers expand the summary or share to an
AI assistant, your URL travels with the content.
2. **Reach every audience**: full social spectrum plus 11 AI assistants in one place.
3. **Future-proof**: built on WP 7.0 Connectors and a REST API ready for agentic clients.
### External services
This plugin connects to third-party AI providers **only when the inline AI Summary
feature is enabled** and an AI Connector is configured (or the WP AI Client is available).
All other features — social and AI share buttons, click analytics, the extractive
PHP fallback summary — run entirely on your own server and do not contact any external
service.
#### AI Summary generation
When a post is saved (or when the editor / a visitor explicitly clicks „Regenerate“
or „Generate AI summary“), the plugin uses the WordPress 7.0 AI Client (`wp_ai_client_prompt()`)
to request a short summary from whichever provider you configured in **Settings
> Connectors**. The plugin never stores your API keys — they are managed centrally
by WordPress core.
What is sent:
* Post title (plain text)
* Post content (HTML stripped, up to ~3000 characters of plain text)
* A short instruction asking the provider to return a summary
What is **not** sent: API keys (managed by core Connectors), visitor IP addresses,
user accounts, analytics data, or any other personal data of your readers.
Possible destinations (depending on which Connector your administrator activates):
* **OpenAI** — [Terms of use](https://openai.com/policies/terms-of-use) · [Privacy policy](https://openai.com/policies/privacy-policy)
* **Anthropic** — [Terms of service](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/consumer-terms)·
[Privacy policy](https://www.anthropic.com/legal/privacy)
* **Google AI** — [Terms of service](https://policies.google.com/terms) · [Privacy policy](https://policies.google.com/privacy)
If you do not configure any Connector, or your WordPress version is below 7.0, the
plugin falls back to the local PHP extractive summarizer and no external request
is made.
#### How to opt out
* Set **AI Summary generation** to _Disabled_ in the **AI Summary** tab of the
plugin settings.
* Or choose _Extractive only_ to keep summaries fully local — zero external requests,
ever.
* Or choose _AI only_ while leaving no Connector configured — no requests will
be sent, and summaries simply won’t be generated.
* The visitor-facing „Generate AI summary“ button is off by default; if enabled,
you can additionally restrict it to the extractive PHP path so visitor clicks
never reach an external provider.
#### Sharing buttons
The social and AI sharing buttons render as `` / `` elements that open
the respective destination only when the **visitor** clicks them — your server does
not contact those services. The plugin’s analytics endpoint that records button
clicks runs locally on your own site.
### Advanced Usage
#### Shortcode parameters
The `[ayudawp_share_buttons]` shortcode accepts several parameters:
**buttons**: Comma-separated list of buttons to display
– Example: `[ayudawp_share_buttons
buttons="claude,chatgpt,deepseek,twitter,mastodon"]` – Available: twitter, linkedin,
facebook, telegram, whatsapp, email, raindrop, reddit, bluesky, line, mastodon,
threads, pinterest, copy_link, web_share, claude, chatgpt, google_ai, gemini, grok,
perplexity, deepseek, mistral, copilot, qwen, meta_ai
**style**: Visual style to use
– Example: `[ayudawp_share_buttons style="outline"]`–
Options: minimal, brand, outline, dark, custom, icons-only
**size**: Button size preset
– Example: `[ayudawp_share_buttons size="compact"]`–
Options: compact, normal, large, fluid
**show_icons**: Show icons with text (for non-icons-only styles)
– Example: `[ayudawp_share_buttons
show_icons="true" style="brand"]` – Options: true, false
**icon_style**: Icon corner style (for icons-only mode)
– Example: `[ayudawp_share_buttons
style="icons-only" icon_style="circular"]` – Options: circular, square
**alignment**: Button alignment
– Example: `[ayudawp_share_buttons alignment="center"]`–
Options: left, center
**show_title**: Show or hide the section title
– Example: `[ayudawp_share_buttons
show_title="false"]` – Options: true, false
**title_text**: Custom title text
– Example: `[ayudawp_share_buttons title_text
="Share this content"]`
**title_style**: Title HTML element
– Example: `[ayudawp_share_buttons title_style
="h3"]` – Options: h3, h4, h5, h6, span
**ai_title**: Section title for AI buttons group
– Example: `[ayudawp_share_buttons
ai_title="Summarize with AI"]`
**social_title**: Section title for social buttons group
– Example: `[ayudawp_share_buttons
social_title="Share on social media"]`
**Combined examples:**
```
[ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="claude,deepseek,twitter" style="brand" show_icons="true"]
[ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="circular"]
[ayudawp_share_buttons show_title="true" title_text="Share or Summarize" title_style="h3"]
[ayudawp_share_buttons ai_title="Summarize with AI" social_title="Share" style="outline" show_icons="true"]
[ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="chatgpt,qwen,meta_ai,mastodon,threads" size="compact" style="brand"]
[ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="square" size="large"]
[ayudawp_share_buttons size="fluid" style="outline" show_icons="true"]
```
#### AI summary shortcode
The `[ayudawp_aiss_summary]` shortcode renders the AI-generated summary as a standalone
collapsible block. Useful when you want to place the summary somewhere other than
where the share buttons are auto-inserted, or when you have buttons disabled but
still want to surface the summary.
**post_id**: Render the summary of a specific post
– Example: `[ayudawp_aiss_summary
post_id="123"]` – Defaults to the current post in the loop when omitted
The shortcode outputs nothing when the post has no stored summary, so it is safe
to drop into templates without conditional wrappers.
#### CSS Customization Guide
The plugin uses CSS custom properties for all brand colors. You can override these
in your theme to change any platform color globally:
**Override platform colors:**
.ayudawp-share-buttons { –ayudawp-claude: #ff0000;–
ayudawp-chatgpt: #00ff00; }
**Main container classes:**
– `.ayudawp-share-buttons` – Main wrapper container–`.
ayudawp-buttons-container` – Direct container for all buttons – `.ayudawp-title`–
Title element before buttons – `.ayudawp-section-title` – Section title with extra
top margin – `.ayudawp-aiss-centered` – Applied when centered alignment is enabled
**Button classes:**
– `.ayudawp-share-btn` – Base class for all buttons (both `
` and `` elements) – `.ayudawp-icon-wrapper` – Container for button icons–`.
ayudawp-button-text` – Text label inside buttons – `.ayudawp-icon` – SVG icon element
**Style modifier classes:**
– `.brand` – Brand colors style – `.outline` – Outline
style (brand-colored borders) – `.minimal` – Minimal style – `.dark` – Dark background
style – `.custom` – Custom colors style – `.icons-only` – Icons-only mode – `.with-
icons` – Text buttons with icons – `.circular` – Circular icon buttons – `.square`–
Square icon buttons
**Size modifier classes:**
– `.size-compact` – Compact button size – `.size-large`–
Large button size – `.size-fluid` – Fluid width buttons
**Platform-specific classes (on buttons):**
– `.twitter`, `.linkedin`, `.facebook`,`.
telegram`, `.whatsapp` – `.email`, `.raindrop`, `.reddit`, `.bluesky`, `.line` –`.
mastodon`, `.threads`, `.pinterest` – `.claude`, `.chatgpt`, `.google-ai`, `.gemini`,`.
grok` – `.perplexity`, `.deepseek`, `.mistral`, `.copilot` – `.qwen`, `.meta-ai`–`.
ai` – Applied to all AI platform buttons
**Example: Change Claude button color:**
.ayudawp-share-buttons { –ayudawp-claude:#
your-color; }
**Example: Change all AI buttons background:**
.ayudawp-share-buttons .ayudawp-
share-btn.ai { background: #f0f0f0; }
**Example: Hide specific button:**
.ayudawp-share-btn.facebook { display: none;}
**Customize or remove separator lines:**
The main container has top and bottom
border lines. You can hide either of them from the settings (Share Buttons Separator
lines) with no code. CSS is only needed to replace them with your own style:
```
.ayudawp-share-buttons {
border-top: 2px dashed #ccc;
border-bottom: 2px dashed #ccc;
}
```
**Important notes:**
– The use of `!important` is no longer needed for most overrides–
Use CSS custom properties to change brand colors cleanly – Test on both desktop
and mobile viewports – Icons-only buttons have fixed dimensions (44px default, 36px
compact, 54px large)

## Časté otázky
### Is this plugin completely free?
Yes, Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries is 100% free with all features included,
including support for all social networks, AI platforms, and the full analytics
dashboard with CSV export.
### How does the inline AI summary work?
When you publish or update a post, the plugin generates a short summary asynchronously(
in a background WP-Cron event, to avoid blocking the editor save). The summary then
appears inline next to the share buttons, inside a collapsible block. Visitors can
expand it without leaving the page. You can disable the feature globally in **Settings
> Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries > AI Summary**, choose where the summary
is placed (before/after the buttons, or before the content), and override or edit
the text per post from the editor sidebar.
### How do I choose the AI generation mode and model?
The **AI Summary generation** setting is a single selector with four modes: _AI
with extractive fallback_ (recommended), _AI only_, _Extractive only_ (never contacts
a provider), and _Disabled_. The **AI model** selector lists the models your configured
providers expose; leave it on _Automatic_ to let the plugin pick a fast, cost-effective
model per provider instead of the newest, most expensive flagship.
### Where do I configure API keys for the AI summary?
You don’t configure keys in this plugin. The summary feature relies on the WordPress
7.0 **AI Client** introduced in core, which manages credentials centrally in **Settings
> Connectors**. Configure your preferred provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) there
once and every plugin on the site — including this one — uses those credentials.
### What happens on WordPress versions older than 7.0?
On WP < 7.0 (or 7.0+ without a Connector configured), the plugin falls back to a
PHP extractive summarizer: it picks the most representative sentences from your
content based on word frequency. The result is labelled „Basic summary“ in the frontend
so readers know it isn’t AI-generated. You can disable the fallback if you only
want AI-quality summaries.
### Why does my AI summary say „Basic summary“?
That tag appears when the summary was produced by the PHP extractive fallback instead
of the WP AI Client. This happens when WordPress 7.0 is not installed, when no AI
Connector is configured in **Settings > Connectors**, or when the AI provider call
returned an error. Configure a Connector and republish the post to get an AI-generated
summary; the „Basic summary“ label disappears automatically.
### Is the post content sent to a third-party AI service?
Only when the WP AI Client integration is active. In that case, the post content(
title plus up to ~3000 characters of body text) is sent to whatever provider you
configured in **Settings > Connectors** (OpenAI, Anthropic or Google). The PHP extractive
fallback runs entirely on your server and never sends data anywhere. You can disable
AI generation completely in the plugin settings to keep everything local.
### AI generation worked before, now everything falls back to „Basic summary“. What changed?
If you have the canonical **AI** plugin from wordpress.org installed, go to **Tools
> Connector Approvals** and make sure the toggle next to „Share Buttons & AI-powered
Summaries“ is enabled for your provider. That plugin’s approval system intercepts
outbound AI requests and silently blocks any plugin it hasn’t approved yet. When
this is the likely cause, the plugin’s settings page surfaces a direct link to the
approvals screen alongside the standard error message.
### How does the analytics dashboard work?
The analytics dashboard tracks every button click on your site, showing you which
platforms are most popular and which content gets the most engagement. You can filter
by date range (7 to 365 days or custom dates), compare with a previous period, the
same period last year, or custom dates, and view data in timeline charts, platform
tables, and content performance tables. Stat cards show percentage changes when
comparison is active. You can download data as CSV files from the export dropdown.
A dashboard widget provides a quick 7-day summary right on your WordPress admin
homepage.
### How do I export analytics data?
In the Analytics tab, use the date filter to select the period you want, then click
the „Export CSV“ button to open the export menu. Choose „Current period“ for a full
breakdown (date, platform, type, post title, URL, clicks) or „Timeline summary“
for a daily totals export. When period comparison is active, the timeline export
automatically includes comparison columns (date, clicks, comparison date, comparison
clicks, difference, change percentage). Files download immediately and can be opened
in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet application.
### What is VigIA and how does the integration work?
[VigIA](https://wordpress.org/plugins/vigia/) is a free WordPress plugin by AyudaWP
that monitors AI crawler visits to your site — tracking bots like GPTBot (ChatGPT),
ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and 50+ more. When VigIA is active alongside Share Buttons&
AI-powered Summaries, the analytics dashboard shows an additional panel where you
can cross-reference your share button clicks with AI crawler activity. This lets
you see, for example, whether a spike in Claude clicks correlates with increased
ClaudeBot crawling of that content. You can install VigIA directly from the plugin
screen.
### Will it slow down my website?
No. The plugin is ultra-optimized with a modular structure and lightweight SVG icons
that load instantly. Frontend CSS and JavaScript only load on pages where the share
buttons or the AI summary actually display — posts where both are hidden via the
meta box do not load any plugin assets.
### How do I hide buttons on specific pages?
Edit the post or page where you want to hide buttons, find the „Share Buttons &
AI-powered Summaries“ meta box in the sidebar, and check „Hide share buttons on
this content“. The AI summary has its own independent checkbox („Hide AI summary
on this content“), so you can hide either feature — or both — on any post. This
works with both the classic editor and the block editor.
### Can I automatically hide buttons on noindex content?
Yes! The plugin integrates with major SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math, All in One
SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework, Visibility). Enable the „Exclude noindex content“
option in settings to automatically hide buttons on content marked as noindex.
### What’s the difference between Google AI and Gemini buttons?
**Google AI** uses the new AI Mode available in most countries, launching the AI
response automatically with your prompt. **Gemini** uses the traditional method (
copy prompt and open Gemini) which still works everywhere. Choose based on availability
in your region or user preference.
### Should I use links or buttons for SEO?
Both options are valid:
– **Links with nofollow (default)**: Better user experience,
allows right-click to copy link, works without JavaScript – **Button elements**:
Not counted as links by search engines, cleaner link profile, reduces crawl budget
usage
The nofollow attribute already prevents PageRank transfer, so the SEO impact is
minimal. Choose based on your specific needs.
### How do the section titles work?
You can set separate headings for the AI and Social button groups. When either section
title is filled in, the general title disappears and each group gets its own heading.
If both section titles are left empty, the general title works as before. When using
the „Mixed“ button order, the general title is always displayed regardless of section
titles, since both groups are interleaved. You can also set section titles via shortcode:`[
ayudawp_share_buttons ai_title="Summarize" social_title="Share"]`
### How does Mastodon sharing work?
Since Mastodon is a federated network, the share link needs to point to your specific
instance. Set your Mastodon server domain (e.g. mastodon.social, fosstodon.org)
in the plugin settings. The share button will then open the compose screen on your
instance with the post title and URL pre-filled.
### Can I customize the visual appearance?
Yes, you can choose from 6 predefined styles:
– **Minimal (default)**: Clean transparent
design with borders – **Brand**: Each platform’s characteristic colors – **Outline**:
Brand-colored borders with transparent background, fills on hover – **Dark**: Optimized
for dark backgrounds – **Custom colors**: Pick your own background and text colors
with a color picker – **Icons-only**: Modern style showing only platform icons
### Can I change the button size?
Yes, four sizes are available:
– **Compact**: Smaller buttons for tight layouts–**
Normal**: Standard size (default) – **Large**: Bigger buttons for more prominent
display – **Fluid**: Buttons expand to fill available container width
### How do the icons work?
The icon system uses official brand SVG paths from Simple Icons where available,
ensuring accurate and recognizable platform logos. Options include:
– **Icons with
text**: Add icons to the left of button text in any style – **Icons-only**: Show
only icons in circular or square buttons – **Smart tooltips**: Platform names appear
when hovering over any button – **Responsive**: Icons automatically adapt to screen
size
### Can I change the title before the buttons?
Yes, you can:
– Change the text to anything you want – Choose the HTML element:
h3, h4, h5, h6, or span – Hide the title completely by leaving the text field empty–
Set separate titles for AI and Social groups
### How does automatic insertion work?
You have complete control:
– **Before content**: Buttons appear before the post
text – **After content**: Buttons appear after the post text – **Both positions**:
Buttons in both locations – **Disabled**: Use only shortcode `[ayudawp_share_buttons]`
Plus, you choose exactly which content types display buttons.
### Can I control which content types show buttons?
Absolutely. You can select from all post types registered in your WordPress:
–
Posts, pages, WooCommerce products – Custom Post Types (portfolios, testimonials,
etc.) – Complete per content type control
### How do I customize the AI prompt?
In Settings > Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries you’ll find:
– **Default prompt**:
Pre-optimized for best results with citation – **Custom text field**: Add personalized
text to all AI prompts – **X handle**: Configure automatic mentions in social shares–
The plugin automatically adds your content URL as source
### What happens if an AI changes its URL?
We continuously monitor and update all AI links to ensure they work correctly. The
plugin receives regular updates to maintain compatibility.
### Can I use only specific buttons?
Yes, with the shortcode you can display only the buttons you want:
[ayudawp_share_buttons
buttons=“claude,chatgpt,deepseek,twitter,mastodon,threads“]
### Is it GDPR compliant?
Yes. The plugin does not collect any personal user data. The analytics system only
records anonymous click events — platform name, post ID, and date — with no user
identification, IP address, or session data stored at any point. Analytics data
is retained in your own database for as long as you keep the plugin active. If you
uninstall the plugin with the „Delete all plugin data“ option enabled, all analytics
records are permanently removed along with the rest of the plugin data.
### How does Google AI integration work?
Google AI has direct integration:
– Clicking the button opens Google’s AI Mode
with your prompt – The AI automatically processes the prompt and shows results –
Works in most countries where AI Mode is available
### How does LINE integration work?
LINE is extremely popular in Asian markets (Japan, Taiwan, Thailand). The plugin
allows sharing your content directly to LINE, helping you reach millions of users
in these regions.
### Why does Google AI respond in English even though my site is in another language?
Google AI Mode has a default behavior of responding in English regardless of browser
or site language. To get responses in your preferred language, add a custom instruction
in the plugin settings.
Go to Settings > Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries > „Custom text in prompts“
and add:
Deliver the response in Spanish (or your preferred language)
This instruction will be added to all AI prompts, ensuring responses match your
language preference.
### How does Gemini integration work?
Gemini has a special behavior:
– Clicking the button automatically copies the prompt
to clipboard – Opens Gemini in a new tab – User can paste the prompt directly and
get the summary
### How do DeepSeek, Copilot, and Qwen work?
DeepSeek, Copilot, and Qwen work the same way as Gemini:
– Clicking the button
automatically copies the prompt to clipboard – A notification appears confirming
the copy – The platform opens in a new tab – User can paste the prompt with Ctrl
+V and get the summary
This approach is used because these platforms don’t support URL parameters for prompts.
Meta AI worked this way until 2.5.0; it now accepts the prompt in the address, like
Claude or ChatGPT, so its button opens with the prompt already written. The list
is checked on every release, because platforms add and remove this support over
time.
### What is the floating bar and how is it different from the inline buttons?
The inline block is inserted before or after the post content and scrolls away with
it. The floating bar stays pinned to the viewport while the reader scrolls: on the
left edge, the right edge or along the bottom, always as icons. It shows the same
buttons you enabled, in the same order.
You can use both at once, or only the bar: untick every destination under „Where
the buttons appear“ and turn the bar on with its own destinations. Three options
control how intrusive it is: showing it only while the reader scrolls down, hiding
it on phones (the default), and standing aside on pages where the inline block is
already showing. On phones the side positions turn into a bottom strip, because
a vertical column would eat the reading area.
Its CSS and JavaScript live in separate files that are only loaded on pages where
the bar is shown, so a site with the bar off downloads nothing extra.
### How does compact mode on phones work?
It reduces how much room the buttons take on a phone screen, and only there: the
desktop layout is untouched. There are two shapes. „A single Share button“ hides
the whole block behind one button that opens it. „A few buttons plus a More button“
keeps the first two to five visible (you choose how many) and puts the rest behind
More. The visible ones are the first in the order you set by dragging the platforms
in the settings, so put the ones that matter at the top of their group.
Everything is rendered by the server and only shown or hidden with CSS, so it works
with page caching and the buttons are in the page for search engines either way.
### What do the Copy link and Share buttons do?
„Copy link“ copies the post address to the clipboard and confirms it on screen. „
Share“ hands the post to your device own share sheet, which is where WhatsApp, Signal,
Instagram, Messages or AirDrop appear — anything installed on the device, without
a button per app.
The Share button is only rendered where the browser supports it (most mobile browsers,
Safari and Chrome on desktop), so visitors on a browser without it never see a button
that does nothing. Both count in the analytics like any other button.
### What are the UTM options for?
With UTM tagging on, the address that travels to each platform carries utm_source
with the platform name, utm_medium with social, ai or share, and the campaign name
if you filled one in. That lets your analytics tool separate visits coming back
from a share button from the rest of the referral traffic. It is off by default,
because many analytics setups already group referrals the way their owners want.
### Does it work with page builders?
Yes, it’s compatible with:
– Gutenberg (WordPress block editor) – Elementor, Beaver
Builder, Divi – Any page builder that respects WordPress hooks – Manual insertion
via shortcode works everywhere
### Can I disable automatic insertion completely?
Yes, set automatic insertion to „Disabled“ in settings and use only the shortcode`[
ayudawp_share_buttons]` where you want buttons to appear.
### What happens to my settings when I uninstall the plugin?
By default, your settings are preserved even after uninstalling. However, you can
enable the „Delete all plugin data when plugin is deleted“ option in the Data cleanup
section if you want automatic cleanup. This will also delete all analytics data
stored in the database.
### Which SEO plugins are compatible?
The plugin detects and integrates with:
– Yoast SEO – Rank Math – All in One SEO–
SEOPress – The SEO Framework – Visibility
When enabled, buttons will automatically be hidden on content marked as noindex
in any of these plugins. With Visibility, both the per-post noindex and its bulk
per-content-type rules (with their per-post exceptions) are respected.

This plugin combines social sharing and AI-powered summaries in a simple and useful
way. The AI summary buttons give visitors a quick way to understand or analyze an
article without leaving the page. I also like the combination of Facebook and WhatsApp
sharing with AI features, making the widget useful for both sharing and content
discovery. Analytics add another valuable dimension by helping website owners understand
how these features are actually being used.

[SEO Consult](https://profiles.wordpress.org/seoconsult/) 27. marca 2026 1 reply
This is an outstanding plugin that brings something truly unique to WordPress. The
combination of traditional social sharing with AI-powered summarization is incredibly
useful and forward-thinking. What I really like is how many AI platforms are supported(
ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, Perplexity, and more), making it easy to generate summaries
with proper source attribution. The customization options are excellent – from button
styles and sizes to full control over placement and design. The built-in analytics
dashboard is another big plus. Being able to track clicks by platform and content
adds real value for anyone focused on growth and optimization. Despite all these
features, the plugin remains lightweight, fast, and very easy to configure. It works
perfectly out of the box, integrates well with SEO plugins, and offers a level of
flexibility that both beginners and advanced users will appreciate. Highly recommended–
especially considering it’s completely free!

## Zoznam zmien
#### 2.5.0
New floating share bar, compact mode for phones, Copy link and native Share buttons,
UTM tagging, and a reorganised settings screen where the three overlapping location
settings become a single list.
* New: The settings screen is reorganised. Where the buttons appear was governed
by three settings that had to agree with each other (the locations, the content
types and the insertion position), two of them listing overlapping things, and
nothing on screen said the condition was an AND, so ticking one of them and seeing
no buttons was the usual first experience. They are now a single list with one
row per destination and its own position, which also makes possible something
that was not before: buttons after the content on posts and before it on pages.
Your current setup is migrated to the new list, keeping what visitors were actually
seeing rather than the literal settings. The rest of the screen is grouped under
headings, with related settings side by side, so the two halves of the same decision
are no longer twelve rows apart.
* New: The buttons you enable are shown as the real buttons, in the style you picked,
and the preview repaints as you change the style, the icons or the corner shape.
The AI Summary tab gets the same treatment: its thirteen settings are now four
groups, and the block appearance is decided against a live sample instead of
by saving and reloading.
* New: The floating bar can have its own destinations, so the inline block and
the bar no longer have to appear in the same places: the block on posts and the
bar on the blog home, or the other way round.
* New: Floating share bar. A new option pins the same enabled buttons, in icon
form, to the left edge, the right edge or the bottom of the screen on single
content. It can accompany the inline block or replace it entirely, it can use
its own destinations so the two never have to coincide, it can be set to appear
only while the reader scrolls down, and it can be told to stand aside on pages
where the inline block is already showing. On phones it is hidden by default,
and the side positions become a strip along the bottom when it is switched on,
because a column pinned to the side of a small screen eats the reading area.
Its CSS and JS are separate files, loaded only on pages where the bar is shown.
* New: Compact mode on phones. The buttons block can now show a single Share button
that opens the rest, or a few buttons plus a More button, so a long list of platforms
no longer fills the screen on mobile. The desktop layout is unchanged, and which
buttons stay visible follows the order you set by dragging.
* New: Copy link button. A new platform that copies the post address to the clipboard,
confirms it on screen and counts in the analytics like any other button.
* New: Native share button. Uses the browser share sheet, which reaches WhatsApp,
Signal, Instagram, Messages, AirDrop and any other app installed on the device.
It is only rendered where the browser supports it, so it never shows as a dead
button.
* New: Optional UTM tagging. A checkbox adds utm_source (the platform), utm_medium(
social, ai or share) and an optional campaign name to the shared link, so you
can tell this traffic apart in your analytics.
* New: The summary now has a position per content type, like the buttons: next
to them on posts and before the content on pages, which a single global position
could not express. „Do not display“ becomes one of those positions, so a type
can still generate its summary for the shortcode or the REST API without printing
it.
* Improved: The buttons you can enable are now shown in the settings as the buttons
themselves, grouped into social networks, AI assistants and browser actions,
each rendered with the style you picked. It replaces the row of bare icons, which
said nothing about size, colour or shape.
* Improved: The default label of the summary block is now „TL;DR (AI Generated)“.
It says what the block is in the words readers already use, and it states plainly
that a machine wrote it, which is what the EU AI Act expects of generated content
shown to the public. A label you set yourself is untouched.
* Improved: Compact mode on phones is on by default for new installs, showing a
single Share button that opens the rest. Updating sites keep whatever they had.
* Improved: Meta AI now opens with the prompt already written, instead of copying
it to the clipboard for you to paste. Checked platform by platform in September
2026: Gemini, DeepSeek, Copilot and Qwen still offer no way to pre-fill the prompt
from the address, so those four keep copying it.
* Improved: The settings screen uses the width it has. The form was capped well
below what the browser offered while the promo cards ran along the bottom, where
nobody scrolls; the content now sits in one column with the cards in a rail beside
it that follows as you scroll, and folds underneath on narrower screens. Every
field, description and heading shares one measure instead of two.
* Improved: Less weight on pages that have nothing to show. The stylesheet and
the script were loaded on every singular view, archive and blog home whenever
the buttons were not placed there, in case a shortcode turned up; a site with
the buttons on posts was downloading 71 KB on its home page and on every archive
to render nothing at all. They now load where something is actually placed, plus
singular views whose content really does carry the shortcode. The list of platform
names sent with the script is trimmed to the buttons you enabled.
* Improved: The front end no longer loads jQuery for the share buttons. The script
was rewritten in plain JavaScript, so a block theme that does not use jQuery
stops loading it (about 85 KB and one request) just to show the buttons. The
same pass moved the hover effect and the mobile icon grid to the stylesheet,
replaced a browser event removed from Chrome in 2024, reduced the tooltip to
a single shared element instead of one per button, and sends click tracking with
sendBeacon so it survives the page being replaced by the destination.
* Improved: Accessibility of the buttons block. Each group of buttons is now announced
with the section title you wrote, or with a description when there is none, the
keyboard focus ring no longer appears on mouse clicks, and the copy confirmation
is announced by screen readers.
* Improved: Click tracking identifies the post directly from the buttons block,
instead of relying on the theme marking the article in a particular way, so analytics
are accurate on more themes.
* Improved: The summary, provider and content-hash post fields are sanitized on
save. They are written by the plugin itself and the output was already escaped,
so nothing changes on screen; it closes the gap on the way in as well.
* Fix: The Minimal and Outline styles of the summary block were indistinguishable,
both drawing the same thin grey box. Minimal is now genuinely minimal, a rule
above the block and nothing else, and Outline draws a real box in the accent
colour with its heading to match.
* Fix: With a filled style (Brand, Dark or Custom colours), the „Generate AI summary“
button that visitors see was painted as a full-width slab of colour with a small
outlined button floating inside it. The colour now belongs to the button itself.
* Fix: The „fluid“ button size behaved exactly like „normal“ on phones. Both ended
up as one full-width button per row, so choosing fluid changed nothing below
480 pixels; it now fills the row two buttons at a time, which is what it does
on wider screens.
* Fix: The visitor generation limit could be bypassed on sites that trust a proxy
header. Since 2.4.4 those headers are only read when the site opts in, but the
address was taken from the start of the forwarding chain, which is the part the
visitor writes. It now reads the end of the chain, and only when the request
actually arrives from the proxy: an address declared with the new ayudawp_aiss_trusted_proxies
filter, or the site own network when no list is declared.
