AppRanks verdict
Generated from live marketplace data — refreshed daily
Webshare is a category-leading WordPress app with a limited review volume. Category data on the canonical marketplace listing is currently incomplete, so AppRanks falls back to platform-wide rather than category-relative comparison for this listing. 3 reviews put it in the early-traction tier — useful for early-stage stores willing to be on the leading edge. Early-traction review counts are sensitive to single launch periods or feature events, so a 30-day re-check before bigger commitments often resolves whether the trend is sustained. Paid-only pricing means evaluating fit on the marketplace listing or via the developer's documentation before installing. AppRanks tracks rating, review count, pricing tier, and category position daily — the figures on this page reflect the most recent scrape from the canonical WordPress Plugin Directory listing.
Pros
- +High average rating (5.0★) signals consistent merchant satisfaction
- +Published by Sami Keijonen — established developer track record

How Webshare works
Webshare is another social sharing plugin but it only displays sharing links with Genericon fonts. So it’s lightweight.
Plugin usage When you activate the plugin social sharing appears after singular post. You can drag and drop social icons in
different order under Settings >> Webshare.
There you can choose under which post types you want social icons to appear or do you want to disable some of them.
Add Twitter username in your profile page (called Twitter Username) if you want to show it when sharing to twitter.
Theme support If you want to set location where social sharing appears, load Genericons and handle the CSS in your theme, add this code in your themes functions.php.
/* Webshare plugin support. This means that theme handles the CSS and location of websharing already. */ add_theme_support( 'webshare', array( 'styles' => true ) );
Then add this code in your themes template file where you want webshare to appear.
<?php if ( function_exists( 'webshare' ) ) { webshare(); // Sharing icons. } ?>
Demo You can see the demo in Mina olen demosite. You can
get Mina olen theme from here.
