Social Share Buttons Without Plugin In GeneratePress Theme 2025

In this article, I am going to explain how you can implement social share icons without plugins. There are two ways and two different types of icons. The first one is floating icons, and the second is after post icons.

The floating icon will be visible on the entire site, and every single page, and the floating icon will not be visible on mobile view, and when it comes to after a post, then it’s clear the social share icon will be visible after every post, so read the article very carefully by this way you can add social share icons on your website without any single plugin.

I will be sharing some PHP and CSS code of both icons you have to implement by watching my video.
