Xpert Social Share for Elementor – Add Social Share Buttons with 17 Networks

Want to make it easy for your visitors to share your content? Social share buttons are essential for driving traffic, increasing engagement, and growing your audience.

But most Elementor share widgets are either too limited or force you to rely on external services.

Xpert Social Share changes that. It’s a dedicated Elementor widget that gives you 17 social networks, full design control, global defaults, and per-widget flexibility — all without external dependencies.

Why Social Sharing Matters

Social sharing buttons turn your content into a distribution channel. Every share means:

  • 📈 More organic traffic

  • 🔗 Better brand visibility

  • 👥 Audience growth

  • 🎯 Higher engagement signals

With the right sharing setup, your content reaches people you’d never reach otherwise.

Feature How It Helps

Per-widget controls Customize each instance

Brand colors Auto-matching network colors

How It Works

Step 1: Set Global Defaults

Go to Settings → Xpert Social Share and configure:

  • Which networks are enabled site-wide

  • Default button layout (icon+text, icon only, or text only)

  • Default button size

  • Color scheme (brand colors or custom colors)

  • Open links in new window

This saves you time — no need to configure every instance from scratch.

Step 2: Add the Widget in Elementor

  1. Edit any page or post with Elementor

  2. Search for “Xpert Social Share” in the widget panel

  3. Drag and drop it anywhere on your page

Step 3: Customize Per-Widget

Each widget instance lets you:

  • Toggle networks on/off individually

  • Choose a style – default, only icons, only text, boxed, or border

  • Pick a size – small, normal, or big

  • Select border shape – normal, rounded, or circle

  • Enable animations with effect and delay

  • Switch direction – LTR or RTL

  • Set custom colors per widget

Style Examples

1. Default Style (Icon + Text)

Perfect for blog post footers. Shows both the network icon and label.

2. Only Icons Style

Great for sidebars, headers, or compact areas where space is limited.

3. Only Text Style

Clean and minimal, ideal for minimalist designs.

4. Boxed Style

Each button has a background box – stands out more, great for landing pages.

5. Border Style

Buttons with visible borders – subtle but defined.

Real-World Use Cases

Blog Post Sharing Row

Place the widget at the bottom of your posts with Facebook, X, LinkedIn, and Reddit enabled.

Mobile Messaging Row

Enable WhatsApp, Telegram, Line, and Email with the only-icons style for quick mobile sharing.

RTL Multilingual Sites

Enable RTL output for Arabic, Urdu, or Hebrew sites – the widget automatically mirrors the layout.

Product Landing Page

Use the boxed style with brand colors for conversion-focused product pages.

Hero Section Animation

Enable entrance animation with fade-in-up effect and delay for a polished first impression.

Smart Defaults & Fallbacks

Xpert Social Share handles edge cases so you don’t have to:

Scenario Fallback
No permalink available Falls back to homepage URL
No title available Falls back to document title
Network disabled globally Button not rendered
Invalid custom color Skips inline color styles
Email share Links open in email client (not new window)
WeChat share Uses QR-code URL (Google Chart API)
