Hey,
If you need share buttons like this: https://www.addthis.com/
you can use " Tracking Tools & Analytics " - just cope and paste code snippet there.

thankyou so much, i just added the share buttons after your guidance.
Guys please help me!! iāve been looking for this for the past month and iāve been going crazy. Can you please guide me through the process?
I added the code from addthis.com to a custom code in my tracking & analytics section but im still unable to see the share buttons.
Please help me out! Thank you so much in advance! <3
go to your addthis profile and under tools tab, is you turned the floating share button on?
Hey Abdullah, thank you for replying so quickly!
I managed to get the share buttons working. Everything is fine besides 1 small PROBLEM!
I have to reload the whole page in order to update the sharing buttons.
For example if i change the page from the menu the buttons wont update with the page.
I was doing some research and i found this :
It basically says that wix is built as a single page application and in order for the code to refresh each time you are opening a new page on your site it has to ''detect navigation via pushState āā
I am completely lost and totally frustrated i donāt know how to fix this
Did you manage to overcome this issue?
Thanks!
i havenāt experience this problem myself, i am also busy at this time, i will try to find the solution of this problem in my free time, but right now i am also unable to solve this problem of yours. Thankyou
Hi,
Is there a way to add the Addthis social buttons for each single post separatedly? So I add the social icons share buttons to share one single post on the site, for each post. I have tried but it looks to me it will only allow for social buttons for one url. I asked Addthis and they said the iframes are to blame, but Iām a bit lost with this. I thought mayeb through Velo could be possible? Any hint? Thanks!
Please create a new post instead of using an old post
You can do the same thing by creating a button element(pin to screen/edge) and learn the ācombinationā of the share buttons. For animation, you can use wix-animations API.
Example: (replace the underlined text)
https://www.facebook.com/dialog/share?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.addthis.com%2F%23.YHV20iwiGxI.facebook&redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fs7.addthis.com%2Fstatic%2Fthankyou.html

@certified-code Thanks very much! The second is what I did but it wonāt allow me to set the buttons to share for each specific blog post, but for all of them. The combo drop down allow either blog and all posts, but not for specific posts or I might be missing something. Not sure I can explain this better. The first, I am not sure I understand. Thanks anyways.
