Sharing Buttons
The Sharing Buttons extension lets readers share your content across the social web. It adds an inline share bar to your posts, plus an optional floating bar, and you configure everything from one settings page with a live preview beside the form.
How to enable Sharing Buttons
- In the WordPress admin, go to Divi Torque > Sharing Buttons.
- Turn on the Share buttons master switch. Off means nothing renders and no CSS or JS is loaded. It is off by default.
- Under Show on, pick the post types that should get share buttons. They appear on single posts of the types you choose. Posts is selected by default.
Inline share bar
- Show the inline bar: Sits with the post content, in the flow of the page.
- Position: Above content, Below content, or Both.
- Show a heading: Adds a line above the buttons. Edit the Heading text, for example "Share this post".
- Networks: Pick and order the buttons. A wide range of networks is available, including Facebook, X, LinkedIn, WhatsApp, Pinterest, Telegram, Reddit, Bluesky, Threads, Mastodon, Email, Text Message, Copy Link, and Print. Drag to reorder, or focus an item and use the arrow keys.
Floating bar
- An optional bar that stays on screen while the visitor scrolls. It is off by default.
- Side: Left or Right.
- Vertical position (%): 0 is the top of the screen and 100 the bottom.
- Networks: The floating bar has its own network selection, so it can show fewer buttons than the inline bar. It always shows icons only, whatever the Show setting is.
Appearance
- Show: Icon only, Label only, or Icon and label.
- Colors: Each network's brand colors, or Custom, where you set one Button color and one Icon and text color for a uniform bar.
- Shape: Square, Rounded, or Circle.
- Size: Small, Medium, or Large.
Mobile and advanced
- Inline bar on mobile: Keeps the in-content buttons on small screens. On by default.
- Floating bar on mobile: Below the breakpoint the floating bar docks to the bottom of the screen. Off by default.
- Mobile breakpoint (px): Screens narrower than this count as mobile. Choose a value between 320 and 1600. The default is 768.
- Open in a popup window: Share links open in a small window instead of a new tab. On by default.
- Mastodon instance: Mastodon has no single address, so shares go to this server. The default is mastodon.social.
Tip
Five or six buttons beat fifteen. Start with the networks your readers actually use, keep Copy Link for everyone else, and watch the live preview while you trim.
