## वर्णन
The “original” share buttons automatically transmit data of your visitors to the
social network sites as soon as they visit your website. They do not need to click
on a share button for this and therefore have no choice, if they want their data
to be send. The German computer magazine c’t has developed “Shariff” `(ʃɛɹɪf)` that
follows the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR – Regulation (EU) 2016/679).
This plugin adapts the Shariff concept and provides an easy to use solution for
WordPress. We currently support
31 services in 25 languages: Bitcoin, Bluesky,
Buffer, Diaspora, Facebook, Flipboard, Info, Linkedin, mailto, Mastodon, Mewe, Mix,
Odnoklassniki, Patreon, Paypal, Paypal.me, Pinterest, Pocket, Printer, Reddit, RSS,
SMS, Telegram, Threema, Tumblr, Twitter, VK, Wallabag, Weibo, Whatsapp, Xing
For more information about the Shariff project check out the original [GitHub project](https://github.com/heiseonline/shariff)
and read about the project itself [c’t information page](http://ct.de/shariff) (
in German).
You can automatically add share buttons to posts, pages, the main blog page, product
sites and many more as well as use it as a widget or add the shortcode `[shariff]`
manually to your pages or themes.

## स्थापना
1. Upload everything to the `/wp-content/plugins/` directory
2. Activate the plugin using the plugins menu in WordPress
3. Use `[shariff]` anywhere on your site and/or use the Shariff settings menu.
To enable it for all posts please check the options in the plugin settings.
## नेहमी विचारले जाणारे प्रश्न
### Can I use the Shariff buttons in my theme?
Yes. Simply use the shortcode function:
do_shortcode(‘[shariff]’) You can use all
options of the shorttag as described on the help tab in the plugin settings.
### Can I use the total amount of shares in my theme?
Yes. You can use `do_shortcode('[shariff services="totalnumber"]')` to simply output
the total amount of shares for a post in the loop. It will return the number itself
wrapped in a `` in order for the shariff.
js to update the count. Also only cached data is used, in order to not slow down
your site.
### Is there an action hook to use the share counts every time they get updated?
Yes. You can use
function your_awesome_function( $share_counts ) { // $share_counts
is an array including all enabled services, // the timestamp of the update and the
url of the post. // do stuff } add_action( ‘shariff_share_counts’, ‘your_awesome_function’);
WARNING: This hook will get called A LOT. So be sure you know what you are doing.
### How can I configure the widget?
It uses the same options that have been configured on the plugin options page. However,
you can put in a shorttag that overwrites the default options. It has the same format
as you use in posts. Take a look at the help section of the plugin options page
for more information.
### Can I change the options on a single post?
A: Yes. You can change all options using the shorttag in the Shariff meta box on
the right side of the post edit screen.
### Why are shares not listed?
A: Shariff tries to protect the privacy of your visitors. In order to do this, the
statistics have to be requested by your server, so social networks only see a request
of your server and not from your visitor. However, we do not know, if you want this.
Therefore it is not enabled by default.
### How can I show the share counts?
Enable it on the plugin options page in general or add `backend="on"` to the shariff
shorttag in your post.
### I still do not see share counts
Please have a look at the status tab on the plugin options page. It states whether
share counts are enabled and if there is a problem with a service. Please also keep
in mind that the plugin has a minimum refresh time of 60 seconds and that each service
has their own cache as well.
### Why can’t I change the TTL to a smaller / bigger value?
The time to live (TTL) value determines, if a share count of a post or page gets
refreshed when someone visits this specific page / post of your blog. Too small
values create too much useless traffic, too high values negate the goal of motivating
visitors to also share a post. The value can be adjusted between 60 and 7200 seconds.
Keep in mind, the actual lifespan depends on the age of the post as well.
### How can I change the position of all buttons?
Have a look at the alignment options in the admin menu or checkout the style option.
### How can I change the design?
Have a look at the parameters “theme”, “orientation” and “buttonsize”. They work
mostly like the original code parameters that are explained at http://heiseonline.
github.io/shariff/ Or you can have a look at the test page at https://shariff.3uu.
net/shariff-sample-page-with-all-options to get an overview. But please be warned:
This is a test page! It is possible that you find features that are only provided
in the development version. Use it only to get an impression of the design options.
### How can I change the design of a single button?
A: If you are a CSS guru please feel free to modify the css file. But of course
this is a bad idea, because all changes will be destroyed with the next update!
Instead take a look at the style and class attribute of the shorttag. If you put
in any value it will create a DIV container with the ID “ShariffSC” around the buttons.
If you are really a CSS guru you will know what does the magic from here on out.
😉
### I want the buttons to stay fixed while scrolling!
No problem. Just use the style attribute to add some CSS to the shorttag. For example
in a widget (adjust the width as needed):
[shariff style=”position:fixed;width:
250px”] Of course you can use all other options in that shorttag as well. It also
works with the CSS style option on the plugins design options page, if you really
want this applied to all buttons on your page.
### I want a horizontal line above my Shariff buttons!
You can use the headline option on the design tab. For example, enter the following
code to create a horizontal line and a headline:
Please share this post:
### I want a different or no headline in a single widget, post or page!
Use the headline attribute to add or remove it. For example, you can use the following
shorttag to remove a headline set on the plugins options page in a single widget:
[
shariff headline=””] Of course you can use all other options in that shorttag as
well.
### Can I add `[shariff]` on all posts?
Yes, check out the plugin options.
### QBut I want to hide it on a single post!
Do you really know what you want? 😉 However, it is possible. Write anywhere in
your post “hideshariff”. It will be removed and Shariff will not be added. You can
also use “/hideshariff” to write “hideshariff” in your post. You might also want
to take a look at the Shariff meta box on the right side of your post edit screen.
### Does it work with a CDN?
Yes.
### Pinterest does not show an image!
You can add `media="http://wwww.example.com/yourImage.png"` within the `[shariff]`
shorttag or add it in on the plugin options page – of course with the link to your
image.
### Can I set a fixed URL to share?
You can use the “url” parameter within the shortcode
[shariff url=”http://www.example.
com/”] This is also available within widgets. However, it is not a good idea to
manipulate the URI, because it could mislead your visitors. So you should only use
it, if this is really needed and you do really know what you are doing. Therefore
it is not available on the plugin options page in general.
### What happened to the Twitter share counts?
Twitter does not offer official share counts anymore. As an alternative, share counts
for Twitter can be requested via twitcount.com. You will need to register with them
for it to work. Otherwise the count will always be zero.
### The buttons are not correctly being shown on my custom theme!
Please make sure that `wp_footer();` has been added to your theme. For more information
please visit: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_footer
### What is the external API feature?
First of all: Usually you do not need it! The plugin requests all share counts itself.
However, there are some reasons to put the backend on another server:
– avoid requests
from you WP server to all the social networks – use a more powerful server for the
statistic – use the original backend implementation of Heise or your own solution–
make your own backend available for more than one WP installation But please have
in mind that there are also some good reasons not to use external servers: – you
need an additional installation of WP and the plugin or have to create your own
implementation of a Shariff backend – some plugin settings (backend checks, statistic,
etc.) will only work on the external server – you have to use SHARIFF_FRONTENDS
as an array with all your frontend domains to enable the backend or find your own
solution – we CANNOT provide support for your own implementation
### How can I configure the external API?
In the statistic settings fill in the URL to the API of the external server. For
the WordPress installation on the external server you have to create a “constant”
called SHARIFF_FRONTENDS to permit other domains to use it. Please have in mind
that you have to fill in all subdomains you want to use! The domains must be defined
like this:
define( ‘SHARIFF_FRONTENDS’, ‘example.com|www.example.com|blog.example.
com|another-domain.com’ );
### What does “Request external API directly.” mean?
By default, the browser request the share counts from the server your site is running
on. If you have entered an external API your server will then request the counts
from this external API instead of fetching them itself. Therefore, the external
server will only see the IP from your server and not the one from your visitors.
If you check this option, the browser of your visitors will instead directly request
the share counts from the external API and therefore reveal their IP address to
them. This might be faster, but it is less secure. Please also make sure to set
the Access-Control-Allow-Origin header right. If your site is available using https,
your external API will need to be reached by https as well. Otherwise the request
will get blocked for security reasons. All options and features (e.g. the ranking
tab) regarding the statistic will only work on the external server.
### KNOWN BUGS
These are bugs or unexpected glitches that we know of, but that do not have an impact
on the majority of users, are not security relevant and will perhaps be fixed in
the future – if we have time to spend or you provide us with a lot of “Kölsch” 😉
* If the first post on the start page is password protected and Shariff is disabled
on protected posts, a widget at the end of the loop will not be rendered.

### [GDPR-Compliant Social Sharing Made Simple](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/the-best-plugin-for-gdpr-compliant-google-reviews/)
[webtrommel](https://profiles.wordpress.org/webtrommel/) मे 20, 2025
I regularly use Shariff Wrapper on client websites to add GDPR-compliant social
sharing buttons. It’s easy to configure, supports many popular services, and looks
clean and professional. What I like most: no personal data is shared until the user
actively clicks. A great solution for anyone who wants privacy-friendly social media
buttons on their site.

Works like a charme. Tried so many others. This is the light plugin I was looking
for. Thanks!

I have been using the plugin for a few years and am very happy with it. Now that“
Bluesky Social” has registered a few million users, it’s time to add the social
network to your list – because it’s a good alternative to X (formerly Twitter)!
Please do this soon, thank you!

I have used the original Shariff on a number of custom built website. Using it inside
WordPress for the first time, and I am amazed by the work you have put in, to continue
the life this important GDPR safe social media code. Thank you very much indeed!

I only complain of some unnecessary use of JavaScript, and its inline colocation
that makes it difficult to implement a strict CSP-SOP and keep it working. In the
meanwhile the main principle of this project is the important: Avoid 3rd party stuff
to fulfill a real self-hosting and have a legal conformance.
