[Support request] Lightweight social icon help

[Kuan]

Could you please advise how do we use

this plugin

Tom’s Lightweight Social Icons

to create a shareable icon below all single post page?

[Leo]

Hi there,

LSI can’t be used for that.

You need to find a social sharing plugin.

You will see lots of reviews, options and discussions if you Google “social sharing plugin wordpress”.

Let me know if this helps 🙂

[Kuan]

So if we use other social sharing plugin do we still need to have the lightweight social icon to be installed or that’s totally not necessary afterward?

Hi there,

so the LSI plugin and Social Share plugins do two completely different things so you would require both of them.

[Kuan]

Could you please let me know what’s the GeneratePress suggested social share plugin that is light weight and work well with GeneratePress along with LSI plugin

[Leo]

We don’t really have a recommended social sharing plugin.

Best to check out a few and see which one suits you the best.

If a plugin is built to work with themes, it will work with GP 🙂

[David]

We don’t have a particular recommendation as the needs vary. But if you want a really lightweight one, this was built by one of our community for GP:

Yea I have seen this and wondering if this is tested up to date as it never updated about 4 months ago

[Kuan]

Also if we use GP Social Share

Do we still need to have LSI plugin?

[Leo]

Yes as David mentioned LSI and Social Share plugins do two completely different things.
