  Hey there,

  I’m trying to add sharing buttons to my front page… I’m either completely overlooking a widget or just not sure how to do it all together.

  Also, is there a way to customize the sharing buttons so it matches the page?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  On the Sharing page of the Dashboard, click the option to have the buttons visible on the index and other pages.

  At the moment i have it set to be viewable on everything…
  Front Page, Archive Pages, and Search Results , Posts ,Pages ,Media

  I’d like the sharing buttons to come up on the whole site main page so people can like the site, not just one single post…. If that makes sense

  Thanks for the reply btw

  No, Likes don’t work that way. If you want them to socially share the whole site, create buttons and put them in a text widget in the sidebar.
