Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Simple X Buttons – Share, Follow, Mention & Hashtag for WordPress

No. The plugin loads only its own ~1 KB stylesheet, and only on pages where a button appears. No external scripts are loaded at any point unless a user clicks a button and the intent popup opens.

No. X Web Intents are plain URLs — no authentication, no app registration required.

X's widgets.js SDK has been intermittently rate-limited since 2023, causing buttons to fail to render or show HTTP 429 errors. Web Intents are unaffected because they are static URLs, not API calls.

Yes. No external scripts, cookies, or tracking occur on page load. X's servers are only contacted when a user actively clicks a button and the intent popup opens — the same as clicking any external link.

Popup opens a small 600×360 window centered on the screen — the standard X intent experience. New Tab opens the intent URL in a new browser tab. If JavaScript is disabled, popup falls back gracefully to a new tab.

Yes. In the Placements section you can enable any public post type registered on your site, per placement.

When multiple tags are merged (e.g. #travel, #wordpress, #seo), displaying all of them in the button label would look cluttered. The label falls back to "Tweet" so the button stays clean regardless of how many tags the post has.

Shortcodes work in any context that processes WordPress shortcodes. The Gutenberg blocks work in the block editor. For Elementor, Bricks, or other builders, use the shortcode widget.

Yes. The default cap is 5 post tags. Developers can adjust it with: add_filter( 'sxb_hashtag_limit', fn() => 3 );
