Share buttons for WordPress.com
Works on hosted WordPress even where custom scripts are blocked.
Where they end up: Inside any post or page, through the editor.
WordPress.com does not always allow custom JavaScript. Step 1 explains how to tell, and what to use instead when it does not.
- 01
Check which plan you are on
WordPress.com only runs custom JavaScript on the Business plan and above. On Free, Personal and Premium the script tag is stripped silently — the buttons simply never appear. The rest of this page covers both cases.

Business plan: paste the normal snippet
Add a Custom HTML block where the buttons belong and paste what the configurator gives you. Everything works: the More menu, the counters, the floating bar.
- 03
Any other plan: use plain links
Open the configurator, tick "Plain links, no JavaScript", and fill in the page URL. That build is nothing but anchors around images, so nothing gets stripped. You lose the More menu and the share counts; the buttons themselves work everywhere.
Want a different set of services?
The snippets above use a sensible default. The configurator builds the exact markup for whichever services you want, in whichever order, at whichever size — paste that in place of the kit shown here.
