adding share buttons to blog posts
-
How can I add social media share buttons at the bottom of each of my blog posts so that readers can share the post on their social media pages?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

All support docs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/
Search results for sharing https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/ -
Please see also your theme description page at https://wordpress.com/theme/dara and note the Social Links Menu section there.

If you want to set up autoposting to social networks see here https://en.support.wordpress.com/publicize/

Looks like you got your sharing buttons added to the bottom of your posts – I see them here:
Thanks for chiming in with the Sharing support-doc link, timethief.
I’ll mark this thread as resolved but feel free to start a new one if you need help with anything else.

Thank you for your reply @kathrynwp. Is there a way to get these buttons on the main page though?
Since I show the full posts on the main Blog page, most people probably wouldn’t click on the individual posts, and that’s the only way that they can get to the share buttons right now.
@timethief I saw how to add those but that’s not what I’m looking for. I want readers to be able to share my posts on their social media, not for me to be able to share it on mine. Thanks anyway! -
Sure! One of the links timethief pointed you to was https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/
If you go down to https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/#customizing-sharing-settings – you need to check “Front Page, Archive Pages, and Search” to display the buttons on the blog page. (In fact, “Front Page” should probably be changed to “Blog” to be clearer – I’ll see if we can get our developers to update that.)
Let me know how it goes!
