How to Build a Social Sharing Plugin for WordPress

Posted on 16th June 2023

The first thing you need to do when creating a social sharing plugin for WordPress is to come up with a unique, catchy name for your plugin. Once you have a name, you need to create a folder for your plugin inside the /wp-content/plugins/ directory. In this folder, you will need to create two files: a main PHP file (eg. my-plugin.php) and a secondary PHP file (eg. my-plugin-admin.php).

The main PHP file is where you will put the code for your plugin’s front-end functionality. The secondary PHP file is where you will put the code for your plugin’s back-end administration panel.

Next, you need to open up the main PHP file and put the following code at the top:

Let’s go over what each line of code does.

The first line is the PHP opening tag.

The second line is a comment that will be displayed in the WordPress plugin repository. It is important to fill out this line correctly so that your plugin can be properly listed in the repository.

The third line is the name of your plugin. This should be the same as the name of the folder in which your plugin resides.

The fourth line is the URI of your plugin. This should be the URL of the page where your plugin is hosted.

The fifth line is a brief description of your plugin. This will also be displayed in the WordPress plugin repository.

The sixth line is the version number of your plugin. It is important to keep this up to date so that users know when they need to update your plugin.

The seventh line is the name of the author of the plugin. This should be your name or the name of your company.

The eighth line is the URI of the author of the plugin. This should be the URL of your website or the website of your company.

The ninth line is the PHP closing tag.

The tenth line is an if statement that will exit the script if the user tries to access the file directly. This is a good security measure to prevent users from being able to access your plugin’s code directly.

The eleventh line includes the secondary PHP file that contains the code for the back-end administration panel.

The twelfth line is where the code for your plugin’s front-end functionality goes. This is where you will put the code for your plugin’s social sharing buttons.

Now that we have the basic structure of our plugin set up, let’s move on to adding the code for the social sharing buttons.

The code for the social sharing buttons will go in the my-plugin.php file. In order to add the social sharing buttons, you will need to use the WordPress function wp_enqueue_script(). This function will load the necessary JavaScript files for the social sharing buttons.

The fifth parameter is a boolean value that determines whether or not the script should be loaded in the footer.
