AI Share & Summarize

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

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), view data in timeline charts, platform tables, and content performance tables, and download everything as a CSV file. 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. The file downloads immediately to your computer and can be opened directly in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet application. The export includes date, platform, platform type (Social or AI), post title, post URL, and click count for each row.

VigIA is a free WordPress plugin by AyudaWP that monitors AI crawler visits to your site — tracking bots like GPTBot (ChatGPT), ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and 50+ more. When VigIA is active alongside AI Share & Summarize, the analytics dashboard shows an additional panel where you can cross-reference your share button clicks with AI crawler activity. This lets you see, for example, whether a spike in Claude clicks correlates with increased ClaudeBot crawling of that content. You can install VigIA directly from the plugin screen.

No. The plugin is ultra-optimized with a modular structure and lightweight SVG icons that load instantly. Frontend CSS and JavaScript only load on pages where share buttons are actually displayed — posts with buttons disabled via the meta box do not load any plugin assets.

Edit the post or page where you want to hide buttons, find the "AI Share & Summarize" meta box in the sidebar, and check "Hide share buttons on this content". This works with both the classic editor and the block editor.

Yes! The plugin integrates with major SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework). Enable the "Exclude noindex content" option in settings to automatically hide buttons on content marked as noindex.

Google AI uses the new AI Mode available in most countries, launching the AI response automatically with your prompt. Gemini uses the traditional method (copy prompt and open Gemini) which still works everywhere. Choose based on availability in your region or user preference.

Both options are valid:

• Links with nofollow (default): Better user experience, allows right-click to copy link, works without JavaScript
• Button elements: Not counted as links by search engines, cleaner link profile, reduces crawl budget usage The nofollow attribute already prevents PageRank transfer, so the SEO impact is minimal. Choose based on your specific needs.

You can set separate headings for the AI and Social button groups. When either section title is filled in, the general title disappears and each group gets its own heading. If both section titles are left empty, the general title works as before. When using the "Mixed" button order, the general title is always displayed regardless of section titles, since both groups are interleaved. You can also set section titles via shortcode: [ayudawp_share_buttons ai_title="Summarize" social_title="Share"]

Since Mastodon is a federated network, the share link needs to point to your specific instance. Set your Mastodon server domain (e.g. mastodon.social, fosstodon.org) in the plugin settings. The share button will then open the compose screen on your instance with the post title and URL pre-filled.

Yes, you can choose from 6 predefined styles:

• Minimal (default): Clean transparent design with borders
• Brand: Each platform's characteristic colors
• Outline: Brand-colored borders with transparent background, fills on hover
• Dark: Optimized for dark backgrounds
• Custom colors: Pick your own background and text colors with a color picker
• Icons-only: Modern style showing only platform icons

Yes, four sizes are available:

• Compact: Smaller buttons for tight layouts
• Normal: Standard size (default)
• Large: Bigger buttons for more prominent display
• Fluid: Buttons expand to fill available container width

The icon system uses official brand SVG paths from Simple Icons where available, ensuring accurate and recognizable platform logos. Options include:

• Icons with text: Add icons to the left of button text in any style
• Icons-only: Show only icons in circular or square buttons
• Smart tooltips: Platform names appear when hovering over any button
• Responsive: Icons automatically adapt to screen size

Yes, you can:

• Change the text to anything you want
• Choose the HTML element: h3, h4, h5, h6, or span
• Hide the title completely by leaving the text field empty
• Set separate titles for AI and Social groups

You have complete control:

• Before content: Buttons appear before the post text
• After content: Buttons appear after the post text
• Both positions: Buttons in both locations
• Disabled: Use only shortcode [ayudawp_share_buttons] Plus, you choose exactly which content types display buttons.

Absolutely. You can select from all post types registered in your WordPress:

• Posts, pages, WooCommerce products
• Custom Post Types (portfolios, testimonials, etc.)
• Complete per content type control

In Settings > AI Share & Summarize you'll find:

• Default prompt: Pre-optimized for best results with citation
• Custom text field: Add personalized text to all AI prompts
• X handle: Configure automatic mentions in social shares
• The plugin automatically adds your content URL as source

We continuously monitor and update all AI links to ensure they work correctly. The plugin receives regular updates to maintain compatibility.

Yes, with the shortcode you can display only the buttons you want: [ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="claude,chatgpt,deepseek,twitter,mastodon,threads"]

Yes. The plugin does not collect any personal user data. The analytics system only records anonymous click events — platform name, post ID, and date — with no user identification, IP address, or session data stored at any point. Analytics data is retained in your own database for as long as you keep the plugin active. If you uninstall the plugin with the "Delete all plugin data" option enabled, all analytics records are permanently removed along with the rest of the plugin data.

Google AI has direct integration:

• Clicking the button opens Google's AI Mode with your prompt
• The AI automatically processes the prompt and shows results
• Works in most countries where AI Mode is available

LINE is extremely popular in Asian markets (Japan, Taiwan, Thailand). The plugin allows sharing your content directly to LINE, helping you reach millions of users in these regions.

Google AI Mode has a default behavior of responding in English regardless of browser or site language. To get responses in your preferred language, add a custom instruction in the plugin settings. Go to Settings > AI Share & Summarize > "Custom text in prompts" and add: Deliver the response in Spanish (or your preferred language) This instruction will be added to all AI prompts, ensuring responses match your language preference.

Gemini has a special behavior:

• Clicking the button automatically copies the prompt to clipboard
• Opens Gemini in a new tab
• User can paste the prompt directly and get the summary

DeepSeek, Copilot, Qwen, and Meta AI work the same way as Gemini:

• Clicking the button automatically copies the prompt to clipboard
• A notification appears confirming the copy
• The platform opens in a new tab
• User can paste the prompt with Ctrl+V and get the summary This approach is used because these platforms don't support URL parameters for prompts.

Yes, it's compatible with:

• Gutenberg (WordPress block editor)
• Elementor, Beaver Builder, Divi
• Any page builder that respects WordPress hooks
• Manual insertion via shortcode works everywhere

Yes, set automatic insertion to "Disabled" in settings and use only the shortcode [ayudawp_share_buttons] where you want buttons to appear.

By default, your settings are preserved even after uninstalling. However, you can enable the "Delete all plugin data when plugin is deleted" option in the Data cleanup section if you want automatic cleanup. This will also delete all analytics data stored in the database.

The plugin detects and integrates with:

• Yoast SEO
• Rank Math
• All in One SEO
• SEOPress
• The SEO Framework When enabled, buttons will automatically be hidden on content marked as noindex in any of these plugins.
