There are a million social sharing plugins out there. Most of them suck 🤷‍♂️

They either slow your site to a crawl, inject bloated tracking scripts, or just look like they were designed in 2008 and never updated.

So in typical me fashion, I built Digg This – a modern, fast, and customizable social media sharing plugin for WordPress®.

What Makes Digg This Different?

• No BS, Just Sharing – No tracking scripts. No third-party analytics slowing down your site. Just clean, lightweight sharing icons.
• Looks Damn Good – Icons are crisp, modern, and don’t look like something ripped from MySpace. (😘 Tabler)
• Customizable AF – Pick the colors, choose the networks, and decide which post types should have sharing buttons.
• Supports the Networks You Actually Use – Twitter (X), Facebook, LinkedIn, Bluesky, Mastodon, WhatsApp, Email, and even SMS.
• Built for Performance – No unnecessary JavaScript, no heavy CSS. Just a few kilobytes of code to keep things snappy.

Why I Built This

Every other social sharing plugin either slowed my site down or pissed me off with some dark-pattern upsell nonsense.

I wanted something simple, fast, and not bloated with garbage. And to be honest I never really felt the urge to build a plugin for it.

That is, until I had a conversation about being an old bastard and it reminded me about Digg – if you’re under 30, go ask AI about it 😂

Remember Stumbleupon and Digg? 😂

So I built Digg This for myself – and now it’s available for you 🤘

Features That Matter

• Customizable Colors — Make the icons match your site’s aesthetic.
• Per-Post Customization — Add custom share text and hashtags for each post.
• Lightweight and Fast — No scripts calling home, no unnecessary bloat.
• Gutenberg & Classic Editor Support — Because, believe it or not, not everyone wants to use Gutenberg.
• Open Source & Actively Maintained — No corporate nonsense, just a plugin that does what it says.

Who Should Use It?

If you want social sharing buttons that actually look good, don’t slow down your site, and don’t try to sell you some overpriced pro version, Digg This is for you.

Whether you’re a blogger, an agency, or someone who just gives a damn about how their site looks, this is the social sharing plugin you need.
