Toni, Almost everyone uses social media to publicize their WordPress posts for greater reach and readership. Syndication Links provides a simple way to allow your posts to visually display where those copies of your posts are.
So for example if you use JetPack’s Publicize functionality to send your post to Facebook and Twitter, you can put those URLs into an admin box provided by Syndication Links and they’ll show up below your post. As an example see just under the “Share This” section at the bottom of this post: https://boffosocko.com/2016/07/12/wordcamp-orange-county-2016/ Clicking on the social icons there will take you to the location where those copies are in their various social networks.
A few simple settings allow you options to choose how the the visual display looks.
For those supporting modern-facing IndieWeb functionality, the plugin also supports automatically adding microformats ‘rel-syndication’ and ‘u-syndication’ classes on the links to your posts and pages. If you don’t know what these are, don’t worry too much as they are usually used by outside services/programs/robots to better ‘read’ your posts.
This plugin is also a part of the bigger IndieWeb Plugin for those who would like to add additional related functionality.
