Hi guys, I am so new at this I need help in a bad way!!!
I need to add social sharing onto each blog post I have. I am using Ethos, I was wondering if there is some type of easy way to do this???

Also I want to make sure that each post i’m sharing has the original picture and some of the blog text. within the social sharing post. Please save me!

HI there,

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 your child theme is setup, please review how we recommend making template changes in Customization Best Practices.

Once the child theme is activated, login through FTP and add this in the child theme’s functions.php file:

// Add Social Sharing after the single post content
// =============================================================================

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

Hope this helps.

Hi there,

Your website is under maintenance mode. So it won’t work as expected at this moment. Let’s take that off and try again although it might take some to show this properly on social share.

Thanks!

Hmmm… Yeah I took it off Maintenance mode and clicked on the Facebook share and the link to the blog posts still come up the same way… (no article pic or description) Is there anything else i’m missing? Thanks = )

Hi There,

I did check and it is using your featured image with text. See this:http://screencast-o-matic.com/watch/cDXff7jsSZ

We can use Convertplug plugin to display this form using a popup. See this link for guidance:https://docs.brainstormforce.com/embed-custom-form-in-convertplug/

Hope this helps.
