Having used the plugin for social media sharing, this reviewer appreciates its ability to track shares and simplify the sharing process. The limitation arises when cloning posts, as the share count is incorrectly transferred, leading to misleading data.

"Love what it does, don't love the glitches"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Warfare Plugins?

I love that Social Warfare (pro version) makes it easy to add a specific image and description for Pinterest and other social media sharing. The "Click to Tweet" feature is also great (when I remember to use it), and the sharing buttons are beautiful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Warfare Plugins?

Updating the plugin is a frustrating experience at best, and sometimes completely terrifying. I hold my breathe every time. One update caused my entire dashboard to vanish. I had to have tech support go in through FTP and delete it. I don't like that the pro version requires two plugins, and the second one inevitably fails. When that happens, you have to go to Warfare Plugins, log in, download the pro version, delete the old one from your site, upload and install, reactivate, then cross your fingers that it works. I haven't updated it in a while because I talked to others who had issues and I don't have time to deal with problems. I actually just let my pro version license go because of all the glitches.

Recommendations to others considering Warfare Plugins:

I have such mixed feelings here. It is fantastic at what it does as far as social media sharing features go, but I could only recommend it to someone who either has extensive knowledge of dealing with CPanels (so you can go in and delete it if it glitches out) or to someone who has access to a great tech support person who can go in and fix things. I'll eventually go back to the pro version once I am sure all the kinks are worked out since I can never seem to find a good alternative. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Warfare Plugins solving and how is that benefiting you?

I was using the pro version because I wanted to specify an image for Pinterest, rather than just have people hit the "pin it" button and pick one that wasn't designed for the platform. It did make my life easier in that respect. I do still use the free version because I like the social media buttons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"One of the best solutions for easy social sharing"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Warfare Plugins?

I like many things about the Social Warfare plugin.

First off, it's easy to set up and is super user-friendly. No need to be techy to use it correctly.

It has tons of options for customizing the way the social share buttons look, so you can make them on brand to your website or just stick to the social network colors.

I like that I can pre-write what is to be included in each type of social shares caption. I like how easy it is to add a "Click to Tweet" button within blog posts, too.

Adding Pinterest buttons on images is simple to set up, as well.

Social Warfare is stylish, works great with my web theme and has good support.

Overall it's just easy to use and it's still effective. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Warfare Plugins?

At one point Social Warfare was seriously slowing down the speed of my website, so I uninstalled it for a while.

However, I reinstalled it on my WordPress website over a month ago and it's not causing problems anymore. I assume they worked out a bug with one of their plugin updates. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Warfare Plugins:

You really can't go wrong with this plugin, it's even relatively inexpensive to use the Pro Version. And in my opinion, the Pro Version is definitely worth the splurge for the extra features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Warfare Plugins solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am using Social Warfare on my website to encourage visitors to share blog posts.

It makes it super easy for them to because they just need to push a button and the social share auto pops up. This has helped my website get hundreds of thousands of shares on social media. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
