Beskriuwing
A GiveWP add-on that adds simple social sharing buttons to the Donation Confirmation page.
Let your donors share their donation experience with the world of social media. Social proof can be a powerful way to encourage more donations.
This is a simple GiveWP add-on with very few options:
- Social Share Title
A heading above the social share buttons. - Social Share Encouragement
A paragraph below the title to encourage your donors to share their donation on social media - Channels
Checkbox list of the three supported social channels: Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn. - Position
Choose whether to output the social share section above or below the Donation Confirmation receipt table.
You can also choose to disable the output of the social share options per form. Go to “Donations > Forms” and edit the form you’d like to disable social sharing on. On the form edit screen you’ll see a “Social” tab. There you can choose “Disable”. See screenshots below for a visual example.
That’s all you need to get up and running with this simple GiveWP add-on and start letting your donors share their donations with the world on social media.

FAQ
-
How can I change the sharing message?
-
There’s two ways to do that:
1. Template file
The sharing buttons are output via template file, and the plugin FIRST checks whether you have that template in your theme. So you can override the whole template completely by creating your own template file in your theme.Simply copy the contents of the file in this plugin at
/wp-content/plugins/give-simple-social-shout/templates/basic-template.php
and copy it into a new file in your theme that would be atwp-content/themes/your-theme/sss4givewp.php
.Once you’ve done that you can customize it however you like. The message is in line 6, it starts with
$message =
.BUT BE CAREFUL!!
Even small changes to the buttons can prevent them from sharing correctly.
2. Filter
If you prefer to customize only the message and are familiar with PHP and how filters in WordPress work, you can do that with a PHP snippet like this:add_filter('sss4givewp_message', 'my_custom_sss4givewp_message'); function my_custom_sss4givewp_message() { // Get the donation meta to output dynamic info $meta = sss4givewp_template_args($args = array()); // Customize your message here $message = sprintf(__('Custom FILTERED Message!! "%1$s" and donate to "%2$s"', 'sss4givewp'),$meta['org'], $meta['form_title']); // Return the message for the filter return $message; }
-
Of course you can use CSS, but if you want more complex customization of the appearance you can add a file into your theme’s root folder called
sss4givewp.php
and that will be the output of your social sharing instead. It’s best if you copy the template from the plugin to start from. The default template is found in the plugin in/templates/basic-template.php
. -
How can I change the size of the icons?
-
The easiest way is with custom CSS. Put this in your Customizer “Additional CSS” section and you’ll get icons that are twice the current size:
#sss4givewp a { width: 80px; height: 80px; padding: 18px; }#sss4givewp a svg { width: 40px; height: 40px; }
Note that the
padding
of the#sss4givewp a
rule might need minor tweaking to suit the existing styles in your site. -
These three platforms each support a link-based sharing that does not require javascript or authentication — this is why they were chosen and why this add-on is called “simple”. But if you want to add additional platforms and know how to implement them correctly, see the above FAQ on how you can template the output yourself.
