Social Dropdown WordPress Plugin Review

Jul 25, 2010 by Shivendu Madhava

This plugin displays several social bookmarking options in a dropdown. Unlike other social bookmarking displays, this does not cause clutter.

It features a new fresh look which is much easier to use and is extremely search engine friendly. Nonetheless, if you do not like the new layout, you can always use the old one via the administration panel. The new layout should go well with most layouts.

The new version also takes into consideration of non-JavaScript users and would downgrade gracefully to allow non-JavaScript users to utilize every other feature (exception of dropdown).

In addition, you can customize the order of the bookmarks or choose to remove some of them without editing a file.

If you do not like Dropdowns, this plugin has the ability to show the bookmarks without the dropdown – similar to what other plugins display.

Installation:

1. Upload the “social-dropdown” (actually, any directory will do) folder into the “/wp-content/plugins/” directory.
2. Login to your WordPress Dashboard Panel and activate the “Social Dropdown” plug-in from the plugins tab. If there are no error messages (e.g. in the options panel or else-where), the plugin is properly installed.
3. Insert <?php Show_Dropdown(); ?> at where you want the social bookmarks to be displayed. This line of code should be placed within the WordPress loop (i.e. the place where your posts appear).
4. You can rearrange, add and remove bookmarks that are displayed via the Settings > Social Dropdown panel in WordPress 2.5 and above, or in the Options > Social Dropdown panel in earlier versions of WordPress.
