Je n arrive pas a l'utiliser
Je n arrive pas a comprendre ce plugin pour l'utiliser correctement. Ca serai trop long a expliquer. J'aurai aimé pouvoir supprimer cet avis inutile, mais je ne peux pas.

An excellent tool for custom sharing of site images (responsive support too)
A number of client sites I built required the ability to share image assets directly across social platforms. After extensive testing of several of the main premium plugins, I was happy to find this plugin which was able to share successfully across social platforms (FB, Twitter in this case). Very flexible to customise, and responsive support with updates made to integrate with my existing Elementor environment. Recommended.

Doesn't do what's implied
Tested with Twitter. This plugin doesn't really "share the image" -- what it does is share the link to the post that it's on. We can do that with any social media sharing plugin here, making this one pointless, and redundant if you already have another social media sharing plugin running.
