- I reconfigured my buttons on the ShareThis platform, but nothing happened on my site. What’s going on here?
-
We cache your ShareThis platform button configurations (social networks, button size, labels etc.) to optimize their performance. Sometimes changes you make on the ShareThis platform take a couple minutes to update on your site. Also, if you activate a new button type from the settings page you may experience a similar lag.
Reviews
Good but Slows Down Your Website
Good one, but This plugin slows down your website.
Slows you website.
This plugin did not work for me and I think there are better options. Installing it slows down your loading speed website.
BAD. Requires you to setup an account!
This is bad. Even to use the plugin you have to create an account with the plugin – no thank you!
The Best Share Plugin I Have Seen So Far
Hi Team,
I liked your plugin very much. The ui is best for mobile. Also there is an option to show sms and whatsapp button on mobile.
I have installed it on my site Shopbysave
Thanks

Upgrade
We use dynamic links for content delivery and have had to hack the code to get the correct link to show up in the social media post. This new version can find the correct link with correct string. Yeah! Great work!
Easy to use, great support.
I primarily judge any plugin by three simple criteria; does it do what I need, is it easy to use and how good is the support. ShareThis Share buttons meets all three – especially the support.
