How do I get a share button on the bottom of each post?
-
I want share buttons on the bottom of each post. I’ve added a widget, but it’s not showing up.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)
-
-
These directions don’t look like any menu I can find in the dashboard for my WordPress site. There is no Configuration section of the menu, no Sharing option.

I want share buttons on the bottom of each post.
I provided the instructions for creating sharing icons at the bottom of posts and pages.
See an example of the result here please https://onecoolsite.wordpress.com/2014/03/12/9-guides-for-beginning-your-new-blog/

I want the social media links, like you have in your example blog. However, none of the support links you’ve shown me so far have helped. The first one, as I said, doesn’t match my interface. Is it for a more full version of WP? I’m just using the online, free version. The next set of links you have provided are for other features that I’m not asking for help with. I do, in fact, want social media sharing buttons on the bottom of each post, like I said in my first post.

In the Sharing Settings, there is a Share button set up, but it just doesn’t show up on my blog posts.

Then you aren’t taking the correct steps laid out in the guide at

I described https://justincascio.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=sharing in my last post in this thread, when I said that the button appears to be set up for sharing, but it’s not appearing in my posts. I can’t follow the directions, because the screen shots in the directions don’t match what is at the first link. I click the Save Changes button when I change settings. Still, the sharing button is not showing up on my posts.

Hi Justin,
I just checked (and for ease of review set your site to show the sharing button on the front page for each post as well), and I see that it is showing it for some posts and not others.
The reason it isn’t showing for EVERY post is because on certain posts, you have unselected the “Show sharing buttons” in the options for those posts. You can change that option by editing the post, changing the option, and then updating the post.
Let me know if you have any questions!

Thank you, @amightywp! Now to fix all my posts…. I will look for this check box in the future.
