Hi,

Can you tell me how I can switch on the sharing options within posts and discussions like the demo example? Also, how can I add content to my homepage? The filter bar just shows All and nothing displays. Thanks

Hello There,

Thanks for writing in!

The sharing between posts and discussions were added as the posts were created in our Ethos demo. You can make use of the classic social sharing element (http://prntscr.com/kc7nnw) if you are using Cornerstone in creating your posts. And if you are using the default WordPress editor, you may insert a social sharing shortcode instead. You can check it out from here: http://demo.theme.co/integrity-1/shortcodes/entry-share/

And the Ethos 1 demo content’s homepage is the blog index or the latest posts index. You cannot add anything on this page because the contents were dynamically created by WordPress displaying the latest posts in chronological order. If you want to have a custom home page, you will need to set a static home page instead. Simply create a new page and edit it in Cornerstone. You can design it in anyway you like. Once done, you can then assign this page as your homepage by going to Settings > Reading > Front Page Displays. The name of page must be selected and assigned as your home page. To know more about static front page, please check out this codex: https://codex.wordpress.org/Creating_a_Static_Front_Page#Creating_a_Static_Front_Page

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your reply.

In terms of the social sharing - love the shortcode but is there a way that I can switch this on automatically so it appears on every post? Would I need to look into an a new plugin?

The dynamic content is exactly what I need on the homepage but I cannot get it working correctly. Can I send you my website link so you can take a look and let me know what I am doing wrong? Thanks

Hello @Tony_gm

Thanks for updating the thread.

Please take a look at following thread to add social icons:

Actually I took a look at your website (url from your account) and can see that the home page does not display content. You can fix that from X > Theme Options > Ethos > Blog Options > Category Ids and remove category id numbers. Here is a screenshot.

Thanks.
