In this article, I’ll show you how to add social sharing buttons in WordPress and basically these social share buttons are inspired by Mashable. Social sharing buttons help your blog visitors to share your blog article on their favourite social media profiles with their friends. And it is one of the best way known to get more exposure on the internet.
So, Mashshare is the best WordPress plugin that I’m talking about. It shows the total share counts of Facebook and Twitter at a glance It puts some beautiful and clean designed share buttons on top and end of your posts to get the best most possible social share feedback from your user.

How Mashshare Plugin Works?
Mashshare makes use of the great webservice sharedcount.com and periodically checks for the total count of all your Facebook and Twitter shares and cumulates them. It than shows the total number beside the Share buttons. No need to embed dozens of external slow loading scripts into your website.
However, to add the Mashable like Facebook and Twitter sharing button with total number of share count you need to install and activate Mashshare plugin in your blog and then a settings page will made available to you under Settings → Mashshare from where you can make your changes about where you want the social sharing buttons to appear either at the top of posts or at the end of posts.
