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.

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.

The analytics dashboard tracks every button click on your site, showing you which platforms are most popular and which content gets the most engagement. You can filter by date range (7 to 365 days or custom dates), compare with a previous period, the same period last year, or custom dates, and view data in timeline charts, platform tables, and content performance tables. Stat cards show percentage changes when comparison is active. You can download data as CSV files from the export dropdown. A dashboard widget provides a quick 7-day summary right on your WordPress admin homepage.

In the Analytics tab, use the date filter to select the period you want, then click the "Export CSV" button to open the export menu. Choose "Current period" for a full breakdown (date, platform, type, post title, URL, clicks) or "Timeline summary" for a daily totals export. When period comparison is active, the timeline export automatically includes comparison columns (date, clicks, comparison date, comparison clicks, difference, change percentage). Files download immediately and can be opened in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet application.
