UBC Collab Theme Overview | |
The Sharedaddy plugin allows WordPress users to add social media sharing links to their site (examples: twitter and facebook).
Setup
- Login to your website and go to the Dashboard.
- If you don't have the Sharedaddy plugin enabled, go to:
- Dashboard -> Tools -> Plugins to enable it for your site by clicking on the Activate link in the same row (Enabling Plugins).
- Once the Sharedaddy plugin is enabled, go to Dashboard -> Settings -> Sharing (if you can't find it in the menu right away, try refreshing the page).
- Drag and drop the social media site icons that you think your users will like the most (try not to overwhelm your users, however).
- Choose whether to show "icons + text", just "icons", or just "text".
- Change the Sharing label. The default is "Share this:"
- Choose whether links will open in a new window or in the same window.
- Make sure that you DO NOT have "Disable CSS and JS" selected unless you intend on providing your own JavaScript and CSS.
- Save Changes to complete the process.
