Just Share
WordPress share buttons and related posts that ad blockers leave alone: same-site redirect links, inline SVG, no third-party requests.
Install
The author publishes release zips, so WP-CLI can install straight from GitHub:
wp plugin install https://github.com/ivanusto/just-share/releases/download/v0.1.0/just-share-0.1.0.zipShare buttons and related posts for WordPress that ad blockers leave alone.
Why
Share plugins usually load a script from a third-party domain, which ad blockers block. Filter lists such as Fanboy's Social also hide links by address, for example a[href^="https://www.facebook.com/sharer.php"]. Visitors with an ad blocker see no buttons.
Just Share renders each button on the server as a plain link back to your own site (/?jsp_go=facebook&jsp_id=123), and your site redirects to the network. There are no third-party requests, the class names avoid words generic cosmetic filters match, and the link buttons need no JavaScript.
Version 0.1.0 was checked against all 40,929 generic cosmetic selectors and 62,166 network rules in EasyList, Fanboy's Social and Fanboy's Annoyance (September 2026). None matched the buttons, the related posts or the plugin's files.

Open Graph
Just Share does not print Open Graph tags. Share previews come from your SEO plugin, so make sure it prints og:title and og:image on single posts. With Omni Webmaster & SEO Suite, turn on "Output Meta Description and Open Graph Tags on Single Posts and Pages".
