I looked through the forum and couldnt find the exact answer to this question. I hope it’s an easy one.
I want to add the option to share my posts via email or text (if possible).
Right now I only have the option to share via Twitter, Facebook, or Google+
Is there a way to edit the “share this” buttons or do I have to use Cornerstone and add the Sharing element at the bottom?
Thanks,
Jimmy

Hello Jimmy,

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 add following code to child theme function.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');

Thanks.

Thanks for the response.
I added this and now have the following showing:

I wanted to keep the buttons the way they were before:

I just wanted to add the email option or possibly texting it.

Is that possible?

Thanks again

Hi Jimmy,

The share buttons you are using is generate by a third party plugin which is outside the scope of support we can offer. You may wish to consult a developer to assist you with this. X is quite extensible with child themes, so there are plenty of possibilities. Thanks for understanding. Take care!
