5 Social Share Plugins for WordPress you Should Try Out This 2016
But before your blog readers can share your blog post to their social network, you need to give them reason to. Like asking them to share your post, adding a call to action (like what I did here), and using a share plugin so they can easily share the post if they love it.
5 Social Share Plugins
I will be mentioning the most used 5 social share plugins for WordPress users that you will definitely love.
The plugins I am about to mention are beautifully crafted to suit your need in any way possible.
Tell me; what are you looking for in a social share plugin?
Below are my top five of five
All in One Social Share Plugin
I recently started using the Social Share Plugin and I must confess that this plugin is one of the best social share Plugins out there. Why I said that? It has all the features you could ask for from a social plugin.
The social share plugin gives you the ability to change the skin of your share button just the way you like.
Using social share buttons meant for the desktop version of your blog on your blog’s mobile version is bad, why? The social share overcrowd your mobile site which will make your mobile site slow and ugly.

But with the All in One Social Share Plugin, you’ll have the option to disable the desktop version of the share buttons and use the mobile version of the share button on any user visiting your blog using their mobile phones.
Aside the above features, it does even more…
Share This
One of the most loved social share button out there. Believe it or not, I used this plugin for 4 years and half. I must confess, I loved it all the way.
The share this plugin gives you unlimited amount of social buttons to choose from. Plus, it also gives you the option to place the social share buttons anywhere you feel like.
Do you feel that other bloggers are copying your content without giving you credit? The Share This plugin can help you easily see people copying your contents. It can also help you add your link below any copied text copied from your blog
Aside the above features, it does even more…
Genesis Simple Share
I use this plugin for a while I must say, it was a lovely experience as well.
Though Simple Share Plugin has limited social buttons, but it is the first social share plugin I have used that is light weighted. So are you looking for a light weight social share plugin that won’t affect the speed of your blog? Then using the Genesis Simple Share Plugin is best for you.
The plugin helps you align your social button just the way you want it to appear on your blog.
Aside the above features, it does even more…

The Floating Social Bar is also a light weighted social plugin you’ll love.
I used the share plugin for quite a while. And I must confess that I did love the plugin because of its visibility.
Why I find the Floating Share Button amazing? It helps you get more likes and shares by placing a floating share buttons above your blog posts. It’s so visible; your readers won’t miss it 😉

Hi Babanature,
Informative post indeed 🙂
Yes, these are some of the most sought after social share plugins, and I think I’ve tried most of them sometime or the other, and now finally settled with SumoMe – as one tries out these new ones for a while – the free version for now. Let’s see how it goes, or choose another one.
Thanks for sharing. Happy weekend 🙂

Hello Harleena,
This is my first time hearing SumoMe. Since it has a premium version, the free version might be very limited… and i don’t like being restricted 😉
Thanks for stopping by and dropping your comment, i really do appreciate… 🙂
Have a blessed week ahead

Hi Babanature,
While I do agree that social media shares help a lot your SEO, I’m not very sure that I understood why do you think that these five plugins are the best. Have you tried SumoMe?
Hello Adrian,
The above mentioned social share plugins are the most used which makes them AMONG THE BEST.
Sincerely, i haven’t tried SumoMe, but i was told that it has a free and premium version. The free version is very limited as to what it can do.
Thanks for stopping by and dropping your thought… i really appreciate.
Have a great day ahead…
Hi Babanature,
It seems that you’re telling me what you have been told, while I’m telling you what I know from actually using SumoMe. Quite a difference 😉
It’s true that the free version of SM is limited when compared with the premium version of SM, but you shouldn’t make this comparison. Compare the free version of SM with these free plugins that you listed here.
Maybe you don’t know that the free version of SM comes also with list building feature, share buttons for pictures, Welcome Matt feature, scroll box feature, smart bar feature, Google Analytics integration, heat map, content analytics, and more 🙂
Give it a try, you won’t regret it.
Hello Adrian,
Good to hear from somebody who’s actually using it. I’ll have to explore the plugin and see how it goes as well… 😉
Thanks for clearing things up on the SumoMe Social Share plugin.
Have a blessed week ahead…
