Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries

Yes, Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries is 100% free with all features included, including support for all social networks, AI platforms, and the full analytics dashboard with CSV export.

When you publish or update a post, the plugin generates a short summary asynchronously (in a background WP-Cron event, to avoid blocking the editor save). The summary then appears inline next to the share buttons, inside a collapsible block. Visitors can expand it without leaving the page. You can disable the feature globally in Settings > Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries > AI Summary, choose where the summary is placed (before/after the buttons, or before the content), and override or edit the text per post from the editor sidebar.

A post needs at least 50 words of text. Images, embeds, captions and tables do not count. Below that, the AI tends to answer that there is nothing to summarize, and that answer would end up in the box. So no summary is generated and the visitor button does not appear. A summary you write by hand in the editor is always shown. The editor tells you when a post is below the minimum. Developers can change the minimum with the ayudawp_aiss_summary_min_words filter (0 turns it off).

Yes, in Settings > Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries > AI Summary, under Custom content inside the box. Anything fits: text, HTML or scripts, such as an ad, a newsletter form, a map or a notice. It goes below the summary, on the post itself, and only loads when a reader opens the box. You can also leave it empty and fill the element with id ayudawp-aiss-custom from an ad server or Google Tag Manager. The ayudawp_aiss_custom_visible event, also pushed to the dataLayer, tells a tag when the box opens. Scripts that queue their work (AdSense, Google Ad Manager, Tag Manager) work. Scripts that use document.write do not. An optional label goes above it: Advertisement, or your own text. Only users who can publish unfiltered HTML can change it. On a network, that is the super admin.

The AI Summary generation setting is a single selector with four modes: AI with extractive fallback (recommended), AI only, Extractive only (never contacts a provider), and Disabled. The AI model selector lists the models your configured providers expose; leave it on Automatic to let the plugin pick a fast, cost-effective model per provider instead of the newest, most expensive flagship.

You don't configure keys in this plugin. The summary feature relies on the WordPress 7.0 AI Client introduced in core, which manages credentials centrally in Settings > Connectors. Configure your preferred provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) there once and every plugin on the site — including this one — uses those credentials.

On WP < 7.0 (or 7.0+ without a Connector configured), the plugin falls back to a PHP extractive summarizer: it picks the most representative sentences from your content based on word frequency. The result is labelled "Basic summary" in the frontend so readers know it isn't AI-generated. You can disable the fallback if you only want AI-quality summaries.

That tag appears when the summary was produced by the PHP extractive fallback instead of the WP AI Client. This happens when WordPress 7.0 is not installed, when no AI Connector is configured in Settings > Connectors, or when the AI provider call returned an error. Configure a Connector and republish the post to get an AI-generated summary; the "Basic summary" label disappears automatically.

Only when the WP AI Client integration is active. In that case, the post content (title plus up to ~3000 characters of body text) is sent to whatever provider you configured in Settings > Connectors (OpenAI, Anthropic or Google). The PHP extractive fallback runs entirely on your server and never sends data anywhere. You can disable AI generation completely in the plugin settings to keep everything local.

If you have the canonical AI plugin from wordpress.org installed, go to Tools > Connector Approvals and make sure the toggle next to "Share Buttons & AI-powered Summaries" is enabled for your provider. That plugin's approval system intercepts outbound AI requests and silently blocks any plugin it hasn't approved yet. When this is the likely cause, the plugin's settings page surfaces a direct link to the approvals screen alongside the standard error message.
