About WP Ya Share
From the official readme · v1.6.1Description
The WP Ya.Share plugin adds to your blog a set of buttons to save URLs of your pages/posts in popular social networks (twitter, facebook, livejournal, vkontakte etc.).
Добавляет блок ‘Поделиться’ (Ya.Share, разработанный в yandex) для сохранения ссылки просматриваемой страницы вашего блога в популярных ‘социальных сервисах’ (вконтакте, жж, твиттер и т. д.).
It uses the Yandex Ya.share API; I shaped it into wordpress plugin with some options only.
The following options are available:
- locate “ya.share” block either in the content of a page/single post or in the sidebar (as a new widget);
- select a list of preferable social networks;
- button/link/icon for expanded social networks list, or nothing;
- left, right or centered location;
- above or under the content;
- inscription language.
Please feel free to contact me with your questions or suggestions.
Installation
- Upload wp-ya-share.zip to your plugins directory using the wordpress plugin installation interface and activate the plugin.
- Select your preferable options at the Ya.share options page.
