## Description

coreSocial plugin implements two major features in one plugin: sharing posts or 
pages on social networks, and linking social networks and website profiles. coreSocial
includes blocks for use in the Block Editor for adding share posts and list of profiles
with wide range of options for styling.

#### Social Networks Sharing

Plugin can add a group of buttons for sharing posts, pages, or any URL on the website
via social networks of your choice. The Plugin supports eight social networks that
are popular today. Plugin doesn’t support a wider range of networks, because they
are rarely used, but over time, plugin may get more supported networks too. Plugin
tracks in the database each time any button is clicked, so it can display these 
counts inside the buttons. These counts don’t guarantee that someone actually shared
anything, only that the button is clicked, and sharing was initialized. For some
networks, plugin can get real counts from the networks, but that is not widely supported
by every social network.

Supported networks:
 * Bluesky (with option to add account to link and hashtags)*
Twitter / X (with option to add account to link and hashtags) * Facebook (with support
for getting actual share counts via Facebook API) * Tumblr (with support for getting
actual share counts) * Pinterest (with support for getting actual share counts) *
Yummly (with support for getting actual share counts) * Reddit * LinkedIn * Flipboard

Additional share buttons:
 * MailTo (link with the open mail to format) * Print (
link to open the native print dialog)

#### Adding Share Buttons

Plugin can add share buttons automatically via plugin settings for selected post-
types. But if you want, you can use Block to add share buttons anywhere, supporting
the Full Site Editing templates too. With the use of block, share buttons can be
added anywhere on the website where the block editor is used.

#### Profiles Linking

If you want to add links to your social network profiles or website, with the colorful
buttons, with icons; followers counts (added manually), different layouts, coreSocial
supports close to 40 different networks and other relevant methods and websites.

#### Blocks

Plugin adds two blocks for both features, and these have a huge number of settings
and customizations to make the buttons look the way you want them.
