  • It's not saving the options.

    The plug in looks promising but it's not saving the options.

  • Best Social Share Plugin compared to others

    Seems everything is working as expect and working fine. Everything seemed to be working as expected and functioning smoothly; however, despite their popularity, I did not find the options to share on Instagram and TikTok. I anticipate that these sharing options will be added in the next update. Best Regards

  • Error after last update

    The plugin has been updated to version 2.1.10 but it caused a fatal error that is saying: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ')' in /home/webstarc/public_html/wp-content/plugins/sharethis-share-buttons/php/class-share-buttons.php on line 511 Please advise!

  • Plugin Not Working Properly

    I already checked this plugin 4 months ago. Some of options not working properly. I think you should debug. This plugin wasted my time. So I give this feedback.
