Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries vs SlopStopper

Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries turns every post into an AI-aware destination. It generates an inline AI summary readers can expand next to the share buttons, and offers one-click sharing to every major social network and the leading AI assistants. Among the first plugins to integrate the native WordPress 7.0 AI Connectors API: configure your AI provider once in Settings > Connectors (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and the plugin reuses those credentials — no API keys to manage, no extra accounts. Inline AI Summary Two-tier cascade: Level A uses the WordPress 7.0 AI Client; Level C is a built-in PHP extractive fallback with zero API cost on any WP 6.1+ install. Choose your AI model and mode: pick the provider and model used to generate summaries, or leave it on Automatic to use a fast, cost-effective model instead of the newest, most expensive one. Set how generation behaves too: AI with extractive fallback, AI only, extractive only, or disabled. Paragraph or bullet-list format: show the summary as prose (one paragraph per sentence) or as a concise bullet list, with configurable length (1-5 sentences or points). Collapsible inline block with native , data-nosnippet and Schema.org CreativeWork microdata so search engines treat it as derived content, not competition. Editor controls in the block sidebar and the classic meta box: view, edit manually, regenerate on demand, hide per post (independently from the buttons). Visitor-facing “Generate AI summary” button for posts without a stored summary, restrictable to extractive-only or open to the AI Client. Async generation via WP-Cron. [ayudawp_aiss_summary] shortcode also available. Sharing Social networks: X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, Telegram, WhatsApp, Email, Raindrop, Reddit, Bluesky, LINE, Mastodon, Threads, Pinterest. AI assistants: Claude, ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Mistral, Copilot, Qwen, Meta AI — each opens with a citation-ready prompt linking back to your URL. 6 visual styles, 4 sizes, custom colors, brand SVG icons, dark-mode auto-adaptation, drag-and-drop ordering. SEO-friendly ( or , auto-exclusion on noindex content for all major SEO plugins). Analytics Click tracking per platform and per post, timeline chart with per-platform breakdown, period comparison (previous period, same period last year, custom range), CSV export. Dashboard widget with 7-day sparkline. VigIA cross-reference (clicks vs. AI crawler visits) when active. Redis/Memcached compatible. Why use it? Cite your source naturally: when readers expand the summary or share to an AI assistant, your URL travels with the content. Reach every audience: full social spectrum plus 11 AI assistants in one place. Future-proof: built on WP 7.0 Connectors and a REST API ready for agentic clients. External services This plugin connects to third-party AI providers only when the inline AI Summary feature is enabled and an AI Connector is configured (or the WP AI Client is available). All other features — social and AI share buttons, click analytics, the extractive PHP fallback summary — run entirely on your own server and do not contact any external service. AI Summary generation When a post is saved (or when the editor / a visitor explicitly clicks “Regenerate” or “Generate AI summary”), the plugin uses the WordPress 7.0 AI Client (wp_ai_client_prompt()) to request a short summary from whichever provider you configured in Settings > Connectors. The plugin never stores your API keys — they are managed centrally by WordPress core. What is sent: Post title (plain text) Post content (HTML stripped, up to ~3000 characters of plain text) A short instruction asking the provider to return a summary What is not sent: API keys (managed by core Connectors), visitor IP addresses, user accounts, analytics data, or any other personal data of your readers. Possible destinations (depending on which Connector your administrator activates): OpenAI — Terms of use · Privacy policy Anthropic — Terms of service · Privacy policy Google AI — Terms of service · Privacy policy If you do not configure any Connector, or your WordPress version is below 7.0, the plugin falls back to the local PHP extractive summarizer and no external request is made. How to opt out Set AI Summary generation to Disabled in the AI Summary tab of the plugin settings. Or choose Extractive only to keep summaries fully local — zero external requests, ever. Or choose AI only while leaving no Connector configured — no requests will be sent, and summaries simply won’t be generated. The visitor-facing “Generate AI summary” button is off by default; if enabled, you can additionally restrict it to the extractive PHP path so visitor clicks never reach an external provider. Sharing buttons The social and AI sharing buttons render as / elements that open the respective destination only when the visitor clicks them — your server does not contact those services. The plugin’s analytics endpoint that records button clicks runs locally on your own site. Advanced Usage Shortcode parameters The [ayudawp_share_buttons] shortcode accepts several parameters: buttons: Comma-separated list of buttons to display – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="claude,chatgpt,deepseek,twitter,mastodon"] – Available: twitter, linkedin, facebook, telegram, whatsapp, email, raindrop, reddit, bluesky, line, mastodon, threads, pinterest, claude, chatgpt, google_ai, gemini, grok, perplexity, deepseek, mistral, copilot, qwen, meta_ai style: Visual style to use – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons style="outline"] – Options: minimal, brand, outline, dark, custom, icons-only size: Button size preset – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons size="compact"] – Options: compact, normal, large, fluid show_icons: Show icons with text (for non-icons-only styles) – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons show_icons="true" style="brand"] – Options: true, false icon_style: Icon corner style (for icons-only mode) – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="circular"] – Options: circular, square alignment: Button alignment – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons alignment="center"] – Options: left, center show_title: Show or hide the section title – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons show_title="false"] – Options: true, false title_text: Custom title text – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons title_text="Share this content"] title_style: Title HTML element – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons title_style="h3"] – Options: h3, h4, h5, h6, span ai_title: Section title for AI buttons group – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons ai_title="Summarize with AI"] social_title: Section title for social buttons group – Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons social_title="Share on social media"] Combined examples: [ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="claude,deepseek,twitter" style="brand" show_icons="true"] [ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="circular"] [ayudawp_share_buttons show_title="true" title_text="Share or Summarize" title_style="h3"] [ayudawp_share_buttons ai_title="Summarize with AI" social_title="Share" style="outline" show_icons="true"] [ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="chatgpt,qwen,meta_ai,mastodon,threads" size="compact" style="brand"] [ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="square" size="large"] [ayudawp_share_buttons size="fluid" style="outline" show_icons="true"] AI summary shortcode The [ayudawp_aiss_summary] shortcode renders the AI-generated summary as a standalone collapsible block.

Give your users control over their AI slop intake. SlopStopper lets website owners identify AI-generated content and provides visitors with a simple toggle to show or hide it. Some website owners find that a bit of AI assistance can be a helpful time-saver. Others use it to extend their verbal or artistic skills. However, many users are turned off by AI content on aesthetic or moral grounds. SlopStopper provides websites with an on-off toggle for AI content, allowing site owners to employ AI as needed, better disclose its non-human provenance, and grant users the ability to scrub AI content from their user experience if they prefer. Links Support Forum Rate Plugin Plugin Features Visual toggle for generative content Supports multiple content types Administrative control panel Responsive design Persistent preferences Background image support Custom AI container block Customize or randomize obscuration filter Cache plugin compatible Visual Toggle SlopStopper adds a floating toggle switch on front end of your site. When clicked by a user, their localized display of the site will toggle between modes of showing or hiding your AI-generated content. The switch is unobtrusive by default, becoming prominent when hovered over. The labels and position of the switch can be configured from the admin control panel in the settings section of your site’s backend. Multiple Content Types AI-generated content can be identified by image, post, page, or by a custom Gutenberg block type for sections of AI content within any post, page, or template. AI Images Compatible with all image formats! SlopStopper adds an “AI generated” checkbox to the Details modal of every image in your Media Library. Checking the box will identify that image as being AI-generated. When the user elects to hide AI-generated content, these images will be hidden behind a black overlay. Clicking the toggle to show AI content will remove the overlay, allowing the image to display. Posts and Pages SlopStopper adds a checkbox to the edit screen of every post and page. Checking the box will identify that post or page as being entirely AI-generated. When the user elects to hide AI-generated content, the content of the page will be replaced by a notice that the content is AI generated. Clicking the toggle to show AI content will reveal the content of the post or page. Other Content SlopStopper adds a custom “AI Generated Content” block type that serves as a container for blocks containing any AI-generated sections within a post, page, or template. Any number of blocks can be placed within the “AI Generated Content” container. When the user elects to hide AI-generated content, contained content will be hidden or replaced. Clicking the toggle will reveal the hidden content. Admin Control Panel SlopStopper adds an SlopStopper settings page under the Settings section of your WordPress backend. From here, you can set the position and labels of the toggle switch and an optional message to show when AI content has been hidden. Responsive Design SlopStopper uses responsive design techniques to adjust to displays on desktop and mobile devices. User Preference Memory SlopStopper remembers a user’s preference for showing or hiding the AI-generated content on your site, providing a consistent experience as the user navigates from page to page. The preference is saved to the user’s browser and is not accessible to the website owner or plugin developer. Background Image Support When an image is identified as AI-generated and used as a background image, the AI-generated image will be overlaid in black while the foregrounded content will not be affected unless also identified as AI-generated. Custom Gutenberg Block SlopStopper adds an “AI Generated Content” block to the Gutenberg editor. This block acts as a container for content in any blocks of AI content placed within it. Customize Obscuration Filter From the admin settings, slop images can be obscured with four basic filters: light and dark patterns, solid color, and a circuitry pattern. These can be customized with hue, saturation, and brightness to match the look of any website. The appearance can also be randomized and set to change daily. Cache Plugin Compatibility SlopStopper integrates with 15+ popular caching plugins including: * WP-Optimize * WP Rocket * W3 Total Cache * LiteSpeed Cache * WP Super Cache * And many more… This ensures AI content changes are immediately reflected without manual cache clearing.
