Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about Highlight and Share – Unobtrusive and Lightweight Content Sharing
Highlight and Share works as a text highlighter plugin for WordPress. When a visitor selects text on your site, a small sharing interface appears allowing them to share the selected text to social networks, copy it, or send it via email. This makes it easy for readers to highlight important quotes, statistics, or passages and share them instantly. Additional sharing features such as image sharing, headline sharing, and a Click to Share block/shortcode allow for more sharing options.
Yes. Highlight and Share allows users to select and highlight text directly within your content. Once text is selected, social sharing options appear automatically. Visitors can then: Share the highlighted text to supported social networks Copy the text to their clipboard Send the text via email Use the Web Share API on supported devices This makes it easy to enable content highlighter functionality in WordPress.
Headline sharing allows visitors to share individual headings within your content.
This feature works especially well for long articles, tutorials, and documentation where users may want to reference a specific section.
Yes. Highlight and Share includes image sharing support for Pinterest and the Web Share API.
You can control where image sharing appears, including: Post content Featured images Archive excerpts
The Click to Share block allows you to add a shareable quote or message directly inside your content. When readers click the share box, they can instantly share the text to social networks or copy it to their clipboard. This is useful for quotes, key takeaways, statistics, or other shareable snippets. A shortcode version is also available if you prefer not to use the block editor.
Yes. Highlight and Share includes advanced selectors and post type settings that allow you to control exactly where highlighting appears. You can: Enable highlighting only within post content Enable highlighting in comments Disable highlighting on specific post types Use custom selectors for page builders This flexibility makes Highlight and Share compatible with most themes and page builders.
Highlight and Share does not collect personal information or set tracking cookies. The plugin does allow for advanced stats tracking, which is opt-in and is designed for developers. Stats are compatible with GA4, GTM, and synthetic JS events.
Highlight and Share includes a Click to Share block that works similarly to traditional Click to Tweet plugins, but with additional flexibility, showing more than just one network. Instead of limiting sharing to a single network, users can choose from multiple social networks, copy the text, or share using the Web Share API.
