How Simple X Buttons – Share, Follow, Mention & Hashtag for WordPress works
Show full descriptionShow less
Simple X Buttons adds X (Twitter) buttons to your WordPress posts and pages — the right way.
Why not use X’s official embed buttons? X’s embed infrastructure (platform.twitter.com/widgets.js) has been unreliable since 2023, hitting HTTP 429 rate limits at scale and causing embeds to fail silently or load slowly. X has not committed to fixing this.
This plugin takes a different approach entirely.
What are X Web Intents? Web Intents are plain URLs provided by X for sharing, following, mentioning, and more. They open a lightweight native X popup — no JavaScript SDK, no third-party cookies, no external scripts loaded on page load. You click, a popup opens, done.
That means:
No API key required — zero setup friction
No external scripts — nothing loads until the user clicks
No rate limits — static URLs, no API calls
GDPR-friendly — no cookies or tracking on page load
Fast — the plugin CSS is ~1 KB, loaded only when a button is on the page
Four button types
Share — opens X compose pre-filled with the post title, permalink, hashtags, and via handle
Follow — opens X’s native follow dialog for your account
Mention — opens X compose pre-filled with @yourhandle so visitors can tweet at you
Hashtag — opens X compose pre-filled with #yourtag; optionally pulls in the post’s own tags automatically
