Installation Instructions
- Install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly (Plugins -> Add new -> Search for “React & Share”) or upload the plugin files to the
/wp-content/plugins/react-and-share directory
- Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
- Register with your email address and site domain.
- Copy API key
- Paste API key into your Settings page
- ALL SET!
When React & Share is activated, Reaction Buttons are shown on each post by default.
In the settings you have two choices:
- Show buttons by default
- Don’t show buttons by default
In each case you can override the global setting in the edit post view.
**Short code and page template installation **
- If you want to place the buttons manually to your post: use the short code
[rns_reactions] in the edit post/page mode.
- If you want to add React & Share to your page templates, use this code inside a php tag:
if (function_exists('rns_reactions')) { rns_reactions(); }.
Why should I use React & Share?
Site owners tell us that while their traffic numbers look good, people comment and share their posts less than before. One-click reactions – similar to Facebook – are a fun way to activate your readers and get more social media shares.
People react up to 30 times more than they comment!
Is it free?
Yes, absolutely!
Can people share their reactions on social media?
Yes. Your readers can share your post with their reactions using the WhatsApp share.
Can I use different styles?
Yes! Head over to our reaction buttons tool
Can I use short code?
Yes!
Does it work on multisites?
Yes!
Does it work with my theme?
It should – and let us know if it doesn’t 🙂
Which browsers are supported?
All recent browsers are supported.
I don’t want the Twitter/Facebook/WhatsApp/Pinterest share button on my blog. Can I turn it off?
Yes! You can choose which social media share buttons are shown to your readers.
Can I choose on which posts/pages the reaction buttons are shown?
Yes!
My reactions don’t show when I reload the page. What’s up?
Some WordPress installations cache the reactions for a while. Your reactions are saved and will show in a couple of minutes.
