Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

External services

Lion Social Share displays “share” buttons for 35+ social networks and bookmarking services. Each button is a plain link to that service’s own public share page, built entirely in the visitor’s browser – the plugin’s PHP code never contacts any of these services itself, and nothing is sent unless a visitor deliberately clicks a button.

When a visitor clicks a share button, their browser is sent to the chosen service’s share page with the current page’s URL and title included in the link’s query string (Pinterest’s button also includes the URL of the post’s featured image, so the destination page can show a preview). This is the same information already publicly visible on the page being shared.

No visitor data is collected or transmitted by this plugin itself; the browser navigation happens directly between the visitor and the third-party service they chose to click.

The “Copy Link”, “SMS”, and “Email” buttons do not contact any external service – they copy text locally, or open the visitor’s own device apps (SMS/mail client).
