Sure! When I say “call manually via shortcode” I mean by using the shortcode outlines on the plugin details page.
I don’t want to post code in this comment, because it could become outdated and cause more issues than help for people down the road, but there is a header that says “Plugin Shortcode” on the Plugin Description that has the shortcode you need.
You can put this shortcode into a page/post/widget via WP-Admin, or you could use the shortcode in your template files (php) by using the “do_shortcode()” function provided by WordPress core.
Plugin description link: https://ww.wp.xz.cn/plugins/wp-social-sharing/
do_shortcode(): https://developer.ww.wp.xz.cn/reference/functions/do_shortcode/
Did you really leave a one-star rating for a great plugin, because it’s too free for you?
