Joomill Social Share Buttons
Introduction
Social Share adds social media share buttons to your Joomla articles, so visitors can post your content to their network in one click. It is a content plugin: enable it, choose where the buttons appear, and they show up on your articles automatically. The buttons are plain share links, so there are no third-party tracking scripts and nothing slows your pages down. Social Share is a free Joomla plugin from Joomill.
Who it is for
Joomla site owners, bloggers and publishers who want readers to share articles on social media, without adding a heavy third-party widget or a tracking script to every page.
Features
- 15+ networks — Facebook, X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Threads, Mastodon, Bluesky, Pinterest, Reddit, Tumblr, WhatsApp (app and web), Telegram, Flipboard, Viber, Trello and email. Enable or disable each one, so you only show the networks your audience uses.
- Top or bottom placement — show the buttons above or below the article content.
- Choose which views — enable the buttons in single article, category, archive and featured views independently, and limit them to specific categories or show them everywhere.
- Button display options — show the platform icon, the platform name, or both, with an optional prefix such as "Share on". The prefix can be a multilingual language string, so it shows in the right language per site.
- Link target — open share links in a new window or in the same window.
- Accessible — buttons use proper contrast, aria labels and semantic markup to meet the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
- Sticky on mobile — optionally pin the buttons to the bottom of the screen on mobile, in single article view.
- Two layouts — a default layout, and a UIkit/YOOtheme layout that matches UIkit-based templates with control over background colour, text colour, button style and alignment. This is a native Joomla content plugin, not a YOOtheme element.
- Lightweight, no tracking — the buttons are plain links to each network's own share URL, with no third-party scripts, which keeps pages fast and simplifies cookie and privacy compliance.
How it works
Install the plugin, or use Install from Web and search for "Joomill". It publishes automatically.
Open the plugin options and enable the networks you want.
Choose the position, the views and the categories where the buttons should appear, and pick a layout.
The share buttons appear on your articles.
