Sharing buttons display rules
Share This Image plugin has advanced buttons display rules option. With the help of this option it is possible to choose what images on what pages must be available for sharing.
Buttons display rules can be created based on following common criteria:
- Image conditions - Display conditions based on image specific options. You can choose specific images, image URL ( or part of it ), image format.
- Post conditions - Conditions that are based on single posts. Choose what single posts or posts types images must be available for sharing.
- Page conditions - Share images only on specific pages that match needed criteria.
- User conditions - Share images only for certain users based on their role, device, language, etc.
The most exciting thing with the buttons display rules is that you can combine them to AND and OR groups. So you can create very complex rules that can contain many different conditions unique for each group.
Examples of use:
- Share all images only on Front page
- Share image on blog pages only
- Share only specific images ( need to specify these images )
- Share only images that contains specific text inside URL
- Enable image sharing only for specific user roles
- Disable from sharing specific images
- Disable from sharing images from specific pages
and many more available rules.
