Social media sharing plug-in

Support
#1

Hello,

I would like to know which social media post sharing plug-in you suggest, which is most compliant with theme X (Ethos 1).

Thanks,

Hi there,

There is a built in Social Share element with X but this is not added to posts by default.

If you want it to be added on the posts, please install and activate the child theme then login through FTP and open the functions.php file that is in wp-content/themes/x-child then add this code to the fiel:

function x_add_social_sharing ( $content ) {
	if ( is_singular('post') ) {
		echo do_shortcode('[x_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.

Thanks for your reply.
It’s done (my webmaster helped me out).

So now I get this at the end of each post:

Just a couple of questions now:

  • Is it possible to have a “print” icon and “instagram” share as well?
  • Can I define an image (from the post images) that will be shared with the link and/or some extra text ?

Thank you for your help,

Hi @Kimamori,

Glad it works now. And nope, there are no available options for other icons. And that looks like not coming from sharing the feature of the cornerstone, I recommend contacting the plugin author to see if adding icons are possible.

As for social sharing, you should use SEO Yoast if you wish to define your own sharing image and text per post or page. Please check these


Thanks!
