Social Share Buttons

Does anyone have a solution for adding Social Share buttons/links to Posts, that works in DIVI 5?

Hi Randal Birkey I have the Monarch Plugin in my Elegantthemes Account. Don´t you have it?

Randal Birkey

Manfred C Yes, I do! I'll look into it. I wonder why this product doesn't come up when you do a search for "social share plugin for DIVI 5"

Randal Birkey After your answer I asked COPILOT AI (in the EDGE Browser) and got the following text (not bad for AI):

Divi 5 currently has limited native social‑sharing options, so using a compatible third‑party plugin is the best solution right now. The safest choices are plugins that are actively being rebuilt or already tested for Divi 5’s new architecture.

✅ Best Social Share Plugins for Divi 5 (Right Now)

🥇 Divi Social Sharing Buttons Maker (Pee‑Aye Creative)

Best overall option for Divi users

  • Native Divi module (not shortcode‑based)
  • Designed specifically for Divi layouts and Theme Builder
  • Actively being rebuilt for Divi 5 compatibility
  • Works best on new Divi 5 sites (migration from Divi 4 still in progress)

Status: Partially compatible with Divi 5 (beta) Pee-Aye Creative

Why it’s recommended

  • Full design control inside the Divi Builder
  • No external scripts bloating performance
  • Clean integration with Divi presets and layouts

⚠️ Use on staging first if your site is already live.

🥈 Monarch (Elegant Themes)

Good fallback if you already own it

  • Official Elegant Themes plugin
  • Works independently of Divi modules
  • Floating bars, inline buttons, popups

Status: Works with Divi 5, but not rebuilt for the new builder yet

Limitations

  • No Divi 5 preset integration
  • Styling is more limited compared to native modules

🥉 Generic WordPress Social Share Plugins

Examples:

  • Social Snap
  • Grow Social
  • AddToAny

Status: Compatible with Divi 5 because they don’t rely on Divi modules

Trade‑offs

  • Less visual control inside Divi
  • Styling often requires custom CSS
  • Not preset‑aware

🚫 What to Avoid (For Now)

  • Old Divi‑only social modules not updated since Divi 4
  • Plugins relying on deprecated Divi hooks
  • Anything that hasn’t mentioned Divi 5 testing

🎯 Recommended Setup (Best Practice)

If you’re building a new Divi 5 site:

  • Use Divi Social Sharing Buttons Maker (beta)
    If you’re maintaining an existing site:
  • Use Monarch or a generic WordPress plugin until Divi 5 exits beta

🔮 What’s Coming

Most Divi‑specific plugins are still catching up because Divi 5 is a complete rewrite, not a minor update. Expect:

  • Native Divi 5 social modules
  • Preset‑aware sharing buttons
  • Better performance and cleaner markup

If you want, I can recommend the best plugin based on your exact use case (blog posts, WooCommerce, floating bars, minimal icons, etc.).
