Hi,
How can I add a return link in the bottom right hand corner of every post? I would like the return link to bring the user back to the main blog page.

Also, how can I add social sharing buttons at the bottom of every post?

Thanks!

Hello Robert,

Thanks for providing the url.

To add a social sharing buttons and a return link in the bottom right hand corner of every post, please insert this following code in your child theme’s functions.php file.

// Add share button at the bottom of every single posts
// =============================================================================
add_filter( 'the_content', 'add_share_button' );
function add_share_button($content){
  if ( is_single() ) {
    $content .= do_shortcode('[share class="mtl" title="Share this Post" facebook="true" twitter="true" google_plus="true" linkedin="true" pinterest="true" reddit="true" email="true"]');
  }

  // To add a return link to blog index
  $content .= '<div class="x-container return-link"><a class="x-btn x-btn-regular right" href="#">Blog Index  <i class="x-icon x-icon-arrow-right"></i></a></div>';

  return $content;
}
// =============================================================================

Thanks for looking into this and providing a solution. The social media buttons are showing up great.

I have 2 remaining issues that I would really appreciate your help resolving

1) The Return button is showing up in the post but when I click on it, it brings me to the top of the post Not back to the main blog page.

2) The post tags are still showing up below the posts on the main blog search page.

Thanks!

[Robert]

#2 is resolved. I just need help resolving the 1) above. Thanks!

[Rue Nel]

Great!
Thanks for letting us know that this issue has been resolve.

[Robert]

#2 is resolved but #1 is not.

The return button is showing up on post page but when you click on it, it brings you to the top of page. We want it to bring you back to the main blog page.

Also, I just noticed the return button is showing up on all of the pages. It should only display on the post page.

Can you please advise how we resolve these issues. Thanks!

Hi there,

Please update your code in functions.php file to :

/ Add share button at the bottom of every single posts
// =============================================================================
add_filter( 'the_content', 'add_share_button' );
function add_share_button($content){
  if ( is_single() ) {
    $content .= do_shortcode('[share class="mtl" title="Share this Post" facebook="true" twitter="true" google_plus="true" linkedin="true" pinterest="true" reddit="true" email="true"]');
  }

  // To add a return link to blog index
  if ( is_singular("post") ) {
  $content .= '<div class="x-container return-link"><a class="x-btn x-btn-regular right" href="https://www.belmero.com/blog">Blog Index  <i class="x-icon x-icon-arrow-right"></i></a></div>';
}
  return $content;
}
// =============================================================================

Instead of https://www.belmero.com/blog add blog’s URL.

Hope it helps

[Robert]

Thank you! That seemed to work with just a small tweak to the href url.

We’ll continue testing and let you know if we run into any other issues. Thanks.!
