Tradesw Share Intent

tradesouthwest

More Info
Adds social share buttons to bottom of posts with selectable post types.
- Requires PHP: 8.0
- Requires CP: 1.4
- Version: 1.0
- Author: Tradesouthwest
- Tags: share, social, intent
- License: GPL 3 (see LICENSE)
- Text domain: tradesw-visit-counter
- Plugin URL: https://github.com/tradesouthwest/tradesw-share-intent
Overview

This plugin is hard coded with most modern used metadata. We do this to save messy admin data storage of options.

Features
1. Performance (SEO): Native intents don’t require external scripts to load from Facebook or X. This keeps your “Daily Brief” pages lightweight, which directly helps maintain that GSC performance and mobile-first indexing speed.
2. Privacy/Compliance: Since you aren’t loading tracking pixels from social giants, you’re providing a “cleaner” experience for your more privacy-conscious intelligence readers.
3. Bypassing the “Burnout”: You’ve essentially “future-proofed” the site. No more fighting with broken third-party plugins every time an API updates—you own the logic now.
The following meta tags will be added to your themes head:
```
<meta property="og:url" content="http://https%3A%2F%2Ftradesnet.us%2Fnew-test-post%2F" />
<meta property="og:url" content="Gets url of post" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:title" content="New test post" />
<meta property="og:image" content="gets url of featured image" />
<meta name="twitter:title" content="New test post" />
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />
<meta name="twitter:image" content="https://tradesnet.us/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/Russian-ICBM-Sarmat.webp" />
```
Upgrade Notice

If you find your theme has (duplicate) metadata tags in the head, be sure to comment out the ones you do not need in the file src/Frontend/FrontendInterface.php around line 35.

And if your theme does not support svgs (which is rare now days):
```
function tradesw_share_intent_add_mime_types($mimes) {
 $mimes['svg'] = 'image/svg+xml';
 return $mimes;
}
add_filter('upload_mimes', 'cc_mime_types');

Support

Use https://github.com/tradesouthwest/tradesw-visit-counter/issues to post your issues with this plugin.

Change Log

See file CHANGELOG.md

Implementation Details

Hook Selection: We use wp_head for tracking to ensure the visit is only counted when the page begins to render for a user.

Metadata Naming: The meta key is prefixed with an underscore (_warsww_post_views), which keeps it hidden from the standard “Custom Fields” metabox in the editor, preventing accidental manual edits.

Performance: For high-traffic sites, consider offloading this to a REST API endpoint or using an external database to prevent heavy update_post_meta calls on the wp_postmeta table.

Citations: This implementation follows the standard WordPress Plugin Handbook guidelines for hooks and class-based architecture.
