Stop slowing down your website with heavy, tracking-heavy third-party social sharing plugins. The Brutal Social Block gives you a ridiculously fast, natively built sharing component directly inside the Gutenberg editor.
Whether you want elegant inline sharing buttons at the bottom of your articles or a high-converting sticky floating bar that follows your readers as they scroll, this block delivers pure performance and flawless aesthetics without the bloat.
🔥 What makes it brutal?
- The Essential Networks: Connect your readers to the platforms that actually drive traffic: X (Twitter), WhatsApp, Facebook, Telegram, LinkedIn, and Email.
- Pixel-Perfect Design: Total control over the look. Choose your Alignment (left, center, right) and select from 4 sleek Button Shapes (rounded, pill, circle, or square).
- Smart Color Modes: Keep it vibrant with the official “Brand Colors” of each network, or switch to “Neutral” (black and white) for a minimalistic, ultra-modern vibe.
- Button Styles & Animations: Choose how to display your buttons (Icon only, Text+Icon, or Text only) and grab attention with slick Hover Effects (Push up, Grow).
- Sticky Floating Bar: The ultimate engagement booster. Pin your social sharing buttons to the left or right side of the screen so they are always visible as your users read.
💸 FREE vs. PRO
The Free version is a rock-solid solution for basic blogs, but if you want to maximize your social traffic, the PRO version packs the features that actually force users to click.
- FREE Version: A great starting point. You are limited to 3 social networks. You get full access to the alignment controls, button shapes (rounded, pill, circle, square), and the color modes (Brand or Neutral).
- PRO Version (Unleash the Beast): The ultimate viral toolkit.
- The Sticky Floating Bar: Unlocks the ability to pin the share buttons to the side of the browser window. This is the #1 proven way to increase shares.
- All Networks Unlocked: Add all 6 sharing options to your bar.
- Advanced Button Styles: Mix and match icons with text (e.g., an icon next to the word “Share”) to increase visibility.
- Hover Animations: Bring your buttons to life with premium CSS hover effects like “Push up” and “Grow”.
