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.

Hey Abdullah, thank you for replying so quickly!

I managed to get the share buttons working. Everything is fine besides 1 small PROBLEM! :frowning:
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 ā€˜ā€™

I am completely lost and totally frustrated i donā€™t know how to fix this :frowning:
Did you manage to overcome this issue?
Thanks!

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 Iā€™m 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 :slight_smile:

You can do the same thing by creating a button element(pin to screen/edge) and learn the ā€˜combinationā€™ 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

Lazy way: Yesā€¦ (it might cost you some moneyā€¦) NO IFRAME PLZ, see this:

Adding Custom Code to Your Site
Important: Before you begin, make sure that your site is published and has a connected domain .

  1. Go to Settings in your siteā€™s dashboard.

  2. Click the Custom Code tab under Advanced Settings .

  3. Click + Add Custom Code at the top right.

  4. Paste the code snippet in the text box.

  5. Enter a name for your code.
    Tip: Give it a name that is easy to recognize so you can quickly identify it later.

  6. Select an option under Add Code to Pages :

  • Choose specific pages (Blog Post): Use the drop-down menu to select the relevant pages.

  1. Choose ā€œBody - endā€ to place your code:

  2. Click Apply .

Notes:

  • Your code snippets are associated with a specific domain. If you assign a different domain to your site your code snippets will be deleted. There is no need to add code snippets to your secondary domain, as all traffic is redirected to your primary domain.

  • To help your site be compliant with privacy laws such as the GDPR , we recommend you categorize your custom code .

@certified-code Thanks very much! The second is what I did but it wonā€™t 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.
