You can use shortcodes or php functions to include the widget on anyplace. Also it will hook automatically with Buddypress activation page and Invite Anyone plugin.
Be aware that on Invite Anyone Plugin only the providers that share emails will work.
WPEngine Users be aware that your hosting don’t support PHP SESSIONS for non logged users, so Wordpress Social Invitations will only work with logged users unless you ask them to disable cache.
Email limits: Some shared hosting have poor email limitations. If that is your case you can use Easy WP SMTP with an external service, instead of using local mail functions.
