Description
AI Share & Summarize turns every post into an AI-aware destination. It generates an inline AI summary readers can expand next to the share buttons, and offers one-click sharing to every major social network and the leading AI assistants.
Among the first plugins to integrate the native WordPress 7.0 AI Connectors API: configure your AI provider once in Settings > Connectors (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) and the plugin reuses those credentials — no API keys to manage, no extra accounts.
Inline AI Summary (New from 2.0.0)
- Two-tier cascade: Level A uses the WordPress 7.0 AI Client; Level C is a built-in PHP extractive fallback with zero API cost on any WP 5.6+ install.
- Collapsible inline block with native
<details>,data-nosnippetand Schema.orgCreativeWorkmicrodata so search engines treat it as derived content, not competition. - Editor controls in the block sidebar and the classic meta box: view, edit manually, regenerate on demand.
- Visitor-facing “Generate AI summary” button for posts without a stored summary, restrictable to extractive-only or open to the AI Client.
- Async generation via WP-Cron.
[ayudawp_aiss_summary]shortcode also available.
Sharing
- Social networks: X (Twitter), LinkedIn, Facebook, Telegram, WhatsApp, Email, Raindrop, Reddit, Bluesky, LINE, Mastodon, Threads, Pinterest.
- AI assistants: Claude, ChatGPT, Google AI, Gemini, Grok, Perplexity, DeepSeek, Mistral, Copilot, Qwen, Meta AI — each opens with a citation-ready prompt linking back to your URL.
- 6 visual styles, 4 sizes, custom colors, brand SVG icons, dark-mode auto-adaptation, drag-and-drop ordering. SEO-friendly (
<a rel="nofollow">or<button>, auto-exclusion on noindex content for all major SEO plugins).
Analytics
- Click tracking per platform and per post, timeline chart with per-platform breakdown, period comparison (previous period, same period last year, custom range), CSV export.
- Dashboard widget with 7-day sparkline. VigIA cross-reference (clicks vs. AI crawler visits) when active. Redis/Memcached compatible.
Why use it?
- Cite your source naturally: when readers expand the summary or share to an AI assistant, your URL travels with the content.
- Reach every audience: full social spectrum plus 11 AI assistants in one place.
- Future-proof: built on WP 7.0 Connectors and a REST API ready for agentic clients.
External services
This plugin connects to third-party AI providers only when the inline AI Summary feature is enabled and an AI Connector is configured (or the WP AI Client is available). All other features — social and AI share buttons, click analytics, the extractive PHP fallback summary — run entirely on your own server and do not contact any external service.
AI Summary generation
When a post is saved (or when the editor / a visitor explicitly clicks “Regenerate” or “Generate AI summary”), the plugin uses the WordPress 7.0 AI Client (wp_ai_client_prompt()) to request a short summary from whichever provider you configured in Settings > Connectors. The plugin never stores your API keys — they are managed centrally by WordPress core.
What is sent:
- Post title (plain text)
- Post content (HTML stripped, up to ~3000 characters of plain text)
- A short instruction asking the provider to return a summary
What is not sent: API keys (managed by core Connectors), visitor IP addresses, user accounts, analytics data, or any other personal data of your readers.
Possible destinations (depending on which Connector your administrator activates):
- OpenAI — Terms of use · Privacy policy
- Anthropic — Terms of service · Privacy policy
- Google AI — Terms of service · Privacy policy
If you do not configure any Connector, or your WordPress version is below 7.0, the plugin falls back to the local PHP extractive summarizer and no external request is made.
How to opt out
- Disable the feature in Settings > AI Share & Summarize > AI Summary (uncheck “Enable AI Summary”).
- Or keep AI Summary enabled but uncheck “Use extractive fallback” while leaving no Connector configured — no requests will be sent, and summaries simply won’t be generated.
- The visitor-facing “Generate AI summary” button is off by default; if enabled, you can additionally restrict it to the extractive PHP path so visitor clicks never reach an external provider.
Sharing buttons
The social and AI sharing buttons render as <a> / <button> elements that open the respective destination only when the visitor clicks them — your server does not contact those services. The plugin’s analytics endpoint that records button clicks runs locally on your own site.

show_title: Show or hide the section title
– Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons show_title="false"]
– Options: true, false
title_text: Custom title text
– Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons title_text="Share this content"]
title_style: Title HTML element
– Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons title_style="h3"]

ai_title: Section title for AI buttons group
– Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons ai_title="Summarize with AI"]
social_title: Section title for social buttons group
– Example: [ayudawp_share_buttons social_title="Share on social media"]
Combined examples:
[ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="claude,deepseek,twitter" style="brand" show_icons="true"]
[ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="circular"]
[ayudawp_share_buttons show_title="true" title_text="Share or Summarize" title_style="h3"]
[ayudawp_share_buttons ai_title="Summarize with AI" social_title="Share" style="outline" show_icons="true"]
[ayudawp_share_buttons buttons="chatgpt,qwen,meta_ai,mastodon,threads" size="compact" style="brand"]
[ayudawp_share_buttons style="icons-only" icon_style="square" size="large"]
[ayudawp_share_buttons size="fluid" style="outline" show_icons="true"]
AI summary shortcode (v2.0.0)
The [ayudawp_aiss_summary] shortcode renders the AI-generated summary as a standalone collapsible block. Useful when you want to place the summary somewhere other than where the share buttons are auto-inserted, or when you have buttons disabled but still want to surface the summary.
post_id: Render the summary of a specific post
– Example: [ayudawp_aiss_summary post_id="123"]
– Defaults to the current post in the loop when omitted
The shortcode outputs nothing when the post has no stored summary, so it is safe to drop into templates without conditional wrappers.
CSS Customization Guide

FAQ-e
-
Is this plugin completely free?
-
Yes, AI Share & Summarize is 100% free with all features included, including support for all social networks, AI platforms, and the full analytics dashboard with CSV export.
-
How does the inline AI summary work?
-
When you publish or update a post, the plugin generates a short summary asynchronously (in a background WP-Cron event, to avoid blocking the editor save). The summary then appears inline next to the share buttons, inside a collapsible block. Visitors can expand it without leaving the page. You can disable the feature globally in Settings > AI Share & Summarize > AI Summary, choose where the summary is placed (before/after the buttons, or before the content), and override or edit the text per post from the editor sidebar.
-
How do the “Enable AI Summary” and “Use extractive fallback” settings relate?
-
The two checkboxes in the AI Summary section work as a cascade, not as independent toggles:
- Enable AI Summary is the master switch. Off means nothing is generated, ever.
- Use extractive fallback controls what happens if the AI Client cannot return a summary — no Connector configured, API error, the canonical AI plugin’s approval system blocking the request, an older WordPress version, etc.
The real behaviors today:
- Enable off no summary at all.
- Enable on + fallback on (recommended default) tries the WP AI Client first; if it fails, falls back to the built-in PHP extractive summarizer so the post still gets a basic summary at zero cost.
- Enable on + fallback off AI only. If the AI call fails, the post has no summary.
- Enable on + fallback on, with no Connector configured de facto “extractive only”, because the AI step always fails and the fallback always kicks in.
There is no explicit “extractive only by choice” toggle yet: with a Connector configured, the AI Client is always attempted first. If you want zero AI calls on purpose (privacy, cost…), do not configure any AI Connector for now. A future release will replace these two checkboxes with a single explicit selector (AI + fallback / AI only / Extractive only / Disabled) — this FAQ will be removed at that point.
-
Where do I configure API keys for the AI summary?
-
You don’t configure keys in this plugin. The summary feature relies on the WordPress 7.0 AI Client introduced in core, which manages credentials centrally in Settings > Connectors. Configure your preferred provider (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google) there once and every plugin on the site — including this one — uses those credentials.
-
What happens on WordPress versions older than 7.0?
-
On WP < 7.0 (or 7.0+ without a Connector configured), the plugin falls back to a PHP extractive summarizer: it picks the most representative sentences from your content based on word frequency. The result is labelled “Basic summary” in the frontend so readers know it isn’t AI-generated. You can disable the fallback if you only want AI-quality summaries.
-
Why does my AI summary say “Basic summary”?
-
That tag appears when the summary was produced by the PHP extractive fallback instead of the WP AI Client. This happens when WordPress 7.0 is not installed, when no AI Connector is configured in Settings > Connectors, or when the AI provider call returned an error. Configure a Connector and republish the post to get an AI-generated summary; the “Basic summary” label disappears automatically.
-
Is the post content sent to a third-party AI service?
-
Only when the WP AI Client integration is active. In that case, the post content (title plus up to ~3000 characters of body text) is sent to whatever provider you configured in Settings > Connectors (OpenAI, Anthropic or Google). The PHP extractive fallback runs entirely on your server and never sends data anywhere. You can disable AI generation completely in the plugin settings to keep everything local.
-
AI generation worked before, now everything falls back to “Basic summary”. What changed?
-
If you have the canonical AI plugin from wordpress.org installed, go to Tools > Connector Approvals and make sure the toggle next to “AI Share & Summarize” is enabled for your provider. That plugin’s approval system intercepts outbound AI requests and silently blocks any plugin it hasn’t approved yet. When this is the likely cause, the plugin’s settings page surfaces a direct link to the approvals screen alongside the standard error message.
-
How does the analytics dashboard work?
-
The analytics dashboard tracks every button click on your site, showing you which platforms are most popular and which content gets the most engagement. You can filter by date range (7 to 365 days or custom dates), compare with a previous period, the same period last year, or custom dates, and view data in timeline charts, platform tables, and content performance tables. Stat cards show percentage changes when comparison is active. You can download data as CSV files from the export dropdown. A dashboard widget provides a quick 7-day summary right on your WordPress admin homepage.
-
How do I export analytics data?
-
In the Analytics tab, use the date filter to select the period you want, then click the “Export CSV” button to open the export menu. Choose “Current period” for a full breakdown (date, platform, type, post title, URL, clicks) or “Timeline summary” for a daily totals export. When period comparison is active, the timeline export automatically includes comparison columns (date, clicks, comparison date, comparison clicks, difference, change percentage). Files download immediately and can be opened in Excel, Google Sheets, or any spreadsheet application.
-
What is VigIA and how does the integration work?
-
VigIA is a free WordPress plugin by AyudaWP that monitors AI crawler visits to your site — tracking bots like GPTBot (ChatGPT), ClaudeBot, PerplexityBot and 50+ more. When VigIA is active alongside AI Share & Summarize, the analytics dashboard shows an additional panel where you can cross-reference your share button clicks with AI crawler activity. This lets you see, for example, whether a spike in Claude clicks correlates with increased ClaudeBot crawling of that content. You can install VigIA directly from the plugin screen.
-
Will it slow down my website?
-
No. The plugin is ultra-optimized with a modular structure and lightweight SVG icons that load instantly. Frontend CSS and JavaScript only load on pages where share buttons are actually displayed — posts with buttons disabled via the meta box do not load any plugin assets.
-
Edit the post or page where you want to hide buttons, find the “AI Share & Summarize” meta box in the sidebar, and check “Hide share buttons on this content”. This works with both the classic editor and the block editor.
-
Yes! The plugin integrates with major SEO plugins (Yoast, Rank Math, All in One SEO, SEOPress, The SEO Framework) and the NoIndexer plugin. Enable the “Exclude noindex content” option in settings to automatically hide buttons on content marked as noindex.
-
Google AI uses the new AI Mode available in most countries, launching the AI response automatically with your prompt. Gemini uses the traditional method (copy prompt and open Gemini) which still works everywhere. Choose based on availability in your region or user preference.
-
Both options are valid:
– Links with nofollow (default): Better user experience, allows right-click to copy link, works without JavaScript
– Button elements: Not counted as links by search engines, cleaner link profile, reduces crawl budget usageThe nofollow attribute already prevents PageRank transfer, so the SEO impact is minimal. Choose based on your specific needs.
-
How do the section titles work?
-
You can set separate headings for the AI and Social button groups. When either section title is filled in, the general title disappears and each group gets its own heading. If both section titles are left empty, the general title works as before. When using the “Mixed” button order, the general title is always displayed regardless of section titles, since both groups are interleaved. You can also set section titles via shortcode:
[ayudawp_share_buttons ai_title="Summarize" social_title="Share"] -
How does Mastodon sharing work?
-
Since Mastodon is a federated network, the share link needs to point to your specific instance. Set your Mastodon server domain (e.g. mastodon.social, fosstodon.org) in the plugin settings. The share button will then open the compose screen on your instance with the post title and URL pre-filled.
-
Can I customize the visual appearance?
-
Yes, you can choose from 6 predefined styles:
– Minimal (default): Clean transparent design with borders
– Brand: Each platform’s characteristic colors
– Outline: Brand-colored borders with transparent background, fills on hover
– Dark: Optimized for dark backgrounds
– Custom colors: Pick your own background and text colors with a color picker
– Icons-only: Modern style showing only platform icons -
Yes, four sizes are available:
– Compact: Smaller buttons for tight layouts
– Normal: Standard size (default)
– Large: Bigger buttons for more prominent display
– Fluid: Buttons expand to fill available container width -
How do the icons work?
-
The icon system uses official brand SVG paths from Simple Icons where available, ensuring accurate and recognizable platform logos. Options include:
– Icons with text: Add icons to the left of button text in any style
– Icons-only: Show only icons in circular or square buttons
– Smart tooltips: Platform names appear when hovering over any button
– Responsive: Icons automatically adapt to screen size -
Yes, you can:
– Change the text to anything you want
– Choose the HTML element: h3, h4, h5, h6, or span
– Hide the title completely by leaving the text field empty
– Set separate titles for AI and Social groups -
How does automatic insertion work?
-
You have complete control:
– Before content: Buttons appear before the post text
– After content: Buttons appear after the post text
– Both positions: Buttons in both locations
– Disabled: Use only shortcode[ayudawp_share_buttons]Plus, you choose exactly which content types display buttons.
-
Absolutely. You can select from all post types registered in your WordPress:
– Posts, pages, WooCommerce products
– Custom Post Types (portfolios, testimonials, etc.)
– Complete per content type control -
How do I customize the AI prompt?
-
In Settings > AI Share & Summarize you’ll find:
– Default prompt: Pre-optimized for best results with citation
– Custom text field: Add personalized text to all AI prompts
– X handle: Configure automatic mentions in social shares
– The plugin automatically adds your content URL as source -
What happens if an AI changes its URL?
-
We continuously monitor and update all AI links to ensure they work correctly. The plugin receives regular updates to maintain compatibility.
-
Yes, with the shortcode you can display only the buttons you want:
[ayudawp_share_buttons buttons=”claude,chatgpt,deepseek,twitter,mastodon,threads”] -
Is it GDPR compliant?
-
Yes. The plugin does not collect any personal user data. The analytics system only records anonymous click events — platform name, post ID, and date — with no user identification, IP address, or session data stored at any point. Analytics data is retained in your own database for as long as you keep the plugin active. If you uninstall the plugin with the “Delete all plugin data” option enabled, all analytics records are permanently removed along with the rest of the plugin data.
-
How does Google AI integration work?
-
Google AI has direct integration:
– Clicking the button opens Google’s AI Mode with your prompt
– The AI automatically processes the prompt and shows results
– Works in most countries where AI Mode is available -
How does LINE integration work?
-
LINE is extremely popular in Asian markets (Japan, Taiwan, Thailand). The plugin allows sharing your content directly to LINE, helping you reach millions of users in these regions.
-
Why does Google AI respond in English even though my site is in another language?
-
Google AI Mode has a default behavior of responding in English regardless of browser or site language. To get responses in your preferred language, add a custom instruction in the plugin settings.
Go to Settings > AI Share & Summarize > “Custom text in prompts” and add:
Deliver the response in Spanish (or your preferred language)This instruction will be added to all AI prompts, ensuring responses match your language preference.
-
How does Gemini integration work?
-
Gemini has a special behavior:
– Clicking the button automatically copies the prompt to clipboard
– Opens Gemini in a new tab
– User can paste the prompt directly and get the summary -
How do DeepSeek, Copilot, Qwen, and Meta AI work?
-
DeepSeek, Copilot, Qwen, and Meta AI work the same way as Gemini:
– Clicking the button automatically copies the prompt to clipboard
– A notification appears confirming the copy
– The platform opens in a new tab
– User can paste the prompt with Ctrl+V and get the summaryThis approach is used because these platforms don’t support URL parameters for prompts.
-
Does it work with page builders?
-
Yes, it’s compatible with:
– Gutenberg (WordPress block editor)
– Elementor, Beaver Builder, Divi
– Any page builder that respects WordPress hooks
– Manual insertion via shortcode works everywhere -
Can I disable automatic insertion completely?
-
Yes, set automatic insertion to “Disabled” in settings and use only the shortcode
[ayudawp_share_buttons]where you want buttons to appear. -
What happens to my settings when I uninstall the plugin?
-
By default, your settings are preserved even after uninstalling. However, you can enable the “Delete all plugin data when plugin is deleted” option in the Data cleanup section if you want automatic cleanup. This will also delete all analytics data stored in the database.
-
Which SEO plugins are compatible?
-
The plugin detects and integrates with:
– Yoast SEO
– Rank Math
– All in One SEO
– SEOPress
– The SEO Framework
– NoIndexerWhen enabled, buttons will automatically be hidden on content marked as noindex in any of these plugins.

Changelog
2.0.2
- Fix: Buttons not appearing on entries other than the latest published post on themes/plugins that call
setup_postdata()from a header/sidebar without a matchingwp_reset_postdata(). The strict id-match guard added in 1.9.2 (for Divi Theme Builder, FSE and Bricks) now falls back to verifying that the filtered content belongs to the queried post whenget_the_ID()andget_queried_object_id()disagree, so legitimate singular content still gets the buttons while widgets and footers runningthe_contenton arbitrary text remain protected.
2.0.1
- Fix: Visitor-facing “Generate AI summary” click made the summary box look empty until the page was reloaded — the placeholder element was being replaced by the inline critical CSS
<style>block instead of the actual<aside>summary. The replacement now targets the<aside>element explicitly.
2.0.0
- New: Inline AI summary feature — the plugin’s namesake “Summarize” capability now generates a short summary of each post and shows it inline in a collapsible block alongside the share buttons
- New: Two-tier provider cascade — Level A uses the WordPress 7.0 AI Client (
wp_ai_client_prompt()) with credentials managed centrally in Settings > Connectors (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google), so no API keys are configured in this plugin - New: Level C PHP extractive fallback for sites on WP < 7.0 or without an AI Connector — picks the most representative sentences using token-frequency scoring with a Jaccard-similarity filter to avoid redundant sentences in the output
- New: Dedicated “AI Summary” settings section with independent post-type selection, position, default collapsed state, sentence count (also used by the AI prompt), extractive fallback opt-out and per-feature controls
- New: Block editor sidebar panel to view the current summary, edit it manually (which locks it against auto-regeneration) and trigger a synchronous regeneration on demand
- New: Classic editor meta box equivalent — view, edit and force regeneration on next save, with admin notice showing the result or the underlying AI error
- New: Visitor-facing “Generate AI summary” button for posts without a stored summary, with admin setting to keep generation extractive-only (zero cost) or allow the AI Client (rate-limited to 1 generation per IP per minute)
- New:
[ayudawp_aiss_summary]shortcode to render the summary outside the auto-insert flow (accepts apost_idattribute) - New: REST endpoints
POST /aiss/v1/summary/regenerate(capabilityedit_post) andPOST /aiss/v1/summary/generate(public, rate-limited) - New: Schema.org microdata on the summary block (
CreativeWork+abstract) plusdata-nosnippetso search engines understand it’s a derived summary and don’t compete it as a featured snippet against the original content - New: Last AI Client error is persisted and surfaced in the settings page, so configuration issues are visible without enabling
WP_DEBUG - New: Async generation via WP-Cron (
wp_schedule_single_event) so the editor save never blocks waiting for the AI provider; explicit user actions (sidebar “Regenerate now”, classic-editor “Regenerate on next save”) run synchronously for immediate feedback - Improved: Frontend “Generate AI summary” button rewritten in vanilla JS so it survives aggressive defer/async optimizations from caching and performance plugins
- Improved: Critical inline CSS printed alongside the summary HTML so the collapsible block stays visually correct even when the main stylesheet is deferred with
rel="preload" - Improved: Shortcodes (
[gallery],[caption], plugin-defined ones) are stripped from post content before summarization so the resulting summary no longer includes raw shortcode markup - Improved: Minimum WordPress version raised to 5.6 to use
wp_after_insert_post, which fires after meta updates and avoids redundant regenerations
