After writing the post on best social media sharing WordPress plugin, I realized there are few more plugins which need to be on the list. Initially, I couldn’t really find many options for floating social sharing buttons!
But then I stumbled upon something beneficial.
Yes, a plugin to help you float social sharing button – Social Snap!
Social Snap is the most popular plugin for floating the social sharing buttons on your blog.
We at ShoutMeLoud, also use Social Snap Plugin to show floating social sharing buttons both on desktop and mobile.
Social Snap WordPress plugin is one of the easiest plugins to configure for showing beautiful looking social sharing buttons on your blog posts. This service supports all major social network sites such as Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pocket, WhatsApp, Telegram, Buffer, etc.
Do I need to explain the use of the sharing buttons?
Well, even if I don’t have to, I must explain for the readers who are new here.
These social sharing buttons help in getting more social shares as it stays in the visible area while someone is reading your content.
This also supports adding social sharing buttons in your mobile view of the site. You can also control the placement of the buttons.
Convenient, eh?
Now that we know what it does, let us take a look at how to configure the very handy Social Snap.
You ready? Let’s roll.
How to configure Social Snap WordPress plugin?

Priced $39 for a single site, it is a reasonable purchase considering the plethora of features it offers. Click on Get Started and purchase a license for your website.

Hello Harsh, I’m having problems with the plugin. After I added the plugin, I’m seeing URL of each post on the first line of the post. I first thought that this was caused by deactivating the FLARE plugin I used first, but the problem is caused by your plugin. I really loved this plugin, but I now deleted the plugin because I’m having this error. Please rectify this. Thanks.
