Installation

  1. Contact us and get started with your subscription.
  2. Install the plugin through the WordPress plugins screen directly (Plugins -> Add new -> Search for “React & Share”) or upload the plugin files to the /wp-content/plugins/react-and-share directory
  3. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ screen in WordPress
  4. Get the API key from us after subscribing the service.
  5. Paste API key into your Settings page
  6. ALL SET!

When React & Share is activated, Reaction Buttons are shown on each post by default.

In the settings you have two choices:

  1. Show buttons by default
  2. Don’t show buttons by default

In each case you can override the global setting in the edit post view.

**Short code and page template installation **

  • If you want to place the buttons manually to your post: use the short code [rns_reactions] in the edit post/page mode.
  • If you want to add React & Share to your page templates, use this code inside a php tag: if (function_exists('rns_reactions')) { rns_reactions(); }.

FAQ

Why should I use React & Share reaction buttons?

Site owners tell us that while their traffic numbers look good, people comment and share their posts less than before. One-click reactions – similar to Facebook or Linkedin – are a great way to activate your readers and get valuable feedback on your articles.
People react up to 30 times more than they comment!

Does it work with my theme?

It should – and let us know if it doesn’t 🙂

No solo proporciona caras graciosas y muchos parámetros personalizables, sino que además te da analítica útil y botones de compartir. Sería muy bueno tener la opción para poner el twitter handle. Saludos

I used them for another wordpress website I manage. I recently got an email from a security company I work with saying that they implement a code that re-sell your data. I contact them but did not get an answer.

there is not a dashboard, the most interesting features are expensive and the UX is poor. Why do I have to install this widget if I do not have a dashboard with data analysis? Just to add some funny smiley faces? There are many alternatives buttons that in addition to the widget give more customization and more insights

I spent the weekend looking for the perfect reaction plugin for my site. I thought this might have been it, but there are two many problems. (1) You can't customize the icons without emailing them to the developer. (2) Users can select more than one reaction button at the same time. So basically, the user can select Like and Hated on the same post. Silly. (3) If the viewer clicks a button indicating that he hated your page, the plugin still prompts the viewer to share their feedback on social media. Why in the world would you want a viewer who hated your page to say anything about it on social? (4) The customization options are very slim. You have to work directly with the developer to do them. (5) The plugin counts Administrator and Editor activity as page views. For example, during one edit session, we racked up 175 page views even though we were signed in. That's going to skew the results. (6) The dashboard kind of sucks. You can't remove stale pages/posts, for example. The worst part is that a paid subscription is about $85 US per month. That is insane. Emojics offers many times more functionality and flexibility for a 10th of that price. This is an alpha product. The developer should be giving away the paid subscriptions until it's a full developed product. It's no where near ready for prime time.

This is such a cute idea, but the icons don't lay flat. The icons stack one above the next and center themselves at the bottom of the page - it looks weird. If they were in a row laying flat at the bottom it would be perfect. Plus the FaceBook share button isn't visible until after an emoji is clicked. Keep working on it. I'll check back.
