Hello,

I’m looking to add the social share box to all of my blog posts by default. I understand I need to edit some php to achieve this. I have a child theme setup.

I searched and found a similar thread and tried what was instructed and it did not work for me so I thought I’d ask fresh.

I’m using the renew stack.

Thanks,
Adam

Hello Adam,

Thanks for writing in!

Because this requires a template change, I’d advise that you setup a child theme. This allows you to make code changes that won’t be overwritten when an X update is released.

After that kindly add the code below in your child theme functions.php.

add_action('x_before_the_content_end', function() {
  echo do_shortcode('[share title="Share this Post" facebook="true" twitter="true" google_plus="true" linkedin="true" pinterest="true" reddit="true" email="true"]');
});

Let us know how it goes.

Thanks.

Hello,

I am using this technique, however, I do not want to show the share buttons on the blog page where it lists all of the posts. I only want to show the buttons when they open the post.

Is this possible?

Thank you

Hi there,

In that case you can add this under Custom > CSS in the Customizer.

.blog .x-entry-share {
  display: none;
}

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
