Replacement for AddThis

    I updated Addthis from 3.5.9 to 4.0.1 and noticed that it has bloated to a point where it’s not a viable option for my needs. The setup via external website was the tipping point. I run 3 WordPress multisite installations with 300+ subsites/blogs and working the preferences to work on each is a no-go..

    Is there a good lightweight altenative to add social media buttons to blog? Mainly before/after a blog post, not any floating sidebuttons that I personally dislike.

    Thank you for all the fish AddThis, it was fun while it lasted (used since 2008).

  • Thanks for mentioning AddToAny @divavocals. AddToAny came well before other clones yet remains more focused and efficient by all accounts.

    There have been other worthy WordPress plugins, too, although longterm development/maintenance and pay walls tend to be the sticking points. AddToAny has the support of the wider platform and focus over many, many years.

    Thanks for your comments, guys, I won’t bother to install this plugin ??

    Absolutely!! I will admit I was a SHEEP who just followed the crowd on this.. The AddThis plugin wasn’t working well for me even BEFORE this last crappy “upgrade”.. The dashboard NEVER worked consistently across my own sites or my client’s sites..

    AddToAny is fantastic and the inclusion of the Google Social Analytics API means there’s one less place I have to go for site Analytics.. I am SERIOUSLY thinking about putting together a module for Zen Cart using AddToAny because I believe the Zen Cart community will find this VERY valuable!

    Hi guys.

    I”ve been using Addthis for a while and really like it.
    But I’m having the same issue as this:

    Does anyone know how to solve it?

    All the best,
