We will be using the share buttons provided by each platform. To do this, we need to add the code for each platform’s share button in the “social-share.php” file. Step 5: Create a Zip File Once we have added the sharing functionality, we need to create a zip file of the “Social Share” folder. This will make it easier to upload and install our plugin on WordPress. Step 6: Install and Activate the Plugin Finally, we need to install and activate our plugin on WordPress. To do this, go to the WordPress dashboard and click on the “Plugins” section. Click on “Add New” and then “Upload Plugin”. Choose the “Social Share.zip” file and click “Install Now”. Once installed, click “Activate” to turn on the plugin. Conclusion: And that’s it! With these simple steps, you have created your very own social media sharing plugin for WordPress.
