Overview #
The more/share buttons are made to reveal networks after the button has been clicked. Those buttons have the pretty same settings and functions. The difference is that the Share button can display custom text, custom icons, and the share counter. Which of those you will use depends on what you try to achieve.
- use the more (+) networks button when you have a list of networks and you need a tiny button that will open the rest.
- use the share button when you have a single button displayed, showing networks for share. You can also use it just like the more button – to break a long list of networks.

- Display All Active Networks After the More Button
- The More button is added to your current list of networks.
- All additional networks placed after the button will be hidden and shown inline when the button is clicked.
- Display All Social Networks in a Pop-up
- Clicking the More button will open a pop-up showing all available networks in the plugin—not just the selected ones.
- You don’t need to manually add networks after the button in this mode.
- Display Only Active Networks in a Pop-up
- Similar to the first mode, the More button is added to your list of networks.
- When clicked, only the networks placed after the button will appear in a pop-up, not inline.
Additional Buttons Setup for Display Position #
Both buttons support position-based options. This means that you can modify the display function or style for each position. To do so you need to have the “Overwrite Global Share Button Styles And Networks” enabled. After that in the Additional Options, you can change the global settings you have made.
Using the More/Share Button #
The usage is quite simple. Just add the button in the share networks just like you do with the rest of the networks. Place location based on the function you will use.
