Hello, my goal is to encourage my readers to share my blog posts on their social media. The current options greatly inhibit this because they are small, black and white social icons at the bottom of the post that do not call the user's attention and are easily missed. I'm afraid many Wix bloggers suffer the same issue thus limiting the scope of our reach.
As you can see, the above icons are so easily missed by users.
In attempts to get around this, I added custom Facebook share and Pinterest save buttons. However, the Facebook button is so old and outdated, and I cannot customize the size of either button.
My request: Please allow for more flexible social share icons that let users share the blog articles themselves, not just our entire website.
For example, why can't these icons share the blog post? It seems like a very logical and easy thing to implement that would bring tremendous value to the Wix blog community.
Thank you,
Gabe
I'm not great with coding and technology in general - but why is it that if you share my posts on Facebook - the individual post comes up but it cannot do the same for Pinterest? For Pinterest I can only have the same image regardless of the content in my post. It doesn't make any sense? Surely it can't be that difficult to have a unique Pinterest share per post? So if one of my subscribers want to save an article on wood floors and another on paint to their Pinterest account - the same image will come up and they have no what knowing what post it relates too? Have I got this completely wrong or is this right?
Yes correct detection
ok grazie mille
Buongiorno nella condivisione sui socia dei post del blog manca Instagram. Come mai? non è possibile farlo?
grazie
Hello @Laura Reiser,
You can control the visibility of the social sharing icons in the Post Page settings:
Hope this helps!
Hi! I am still new to Wix. We just started using the blog feature. I cannot find a setting to turn the blog social media sharing on or off. In the live site when I click on the social media icons it says "Your message couldn't be sent because it includes content that other people on Facebook have reported as abusive" Any ideas??
While you're at it Wix, please add a reply button after each comment. Right now, I have to create a whole new comment to reply to someone's individual comment, but then the whole feed gets an email notification instead of just that one person. So many basics missing from the blog. Even the layout of the comments looks ugly.... Too much space between each one. What are you guys doing over there?
Absolutely necessary this request. We should not have to program all this code, nor waste all this time. Please, wix!
@VenkoG Thank you for comments.
I think there is a much easier way to calculate the URL of the page when you are on the post page. The post object has the postPageURL, so you just need to add the baseURL and the postPageURL and there you have. Here is an example:
In this way, every time you access a new post, the URL is recalculated and displayed correctly.
In regards to the position of the element, the post is pushing down all the elements that are placed under it when the post is longer than the one you had while editing the post. It also happens the same when the post is shorter, the gap between the post and the elements should remain the same. Is it not happening like that to you?
Hi,
Thank you for your feedback.
Right now we allow to toggle off the build-in sharing options for the Post Page.
If you disable the sharing option (or even without disabling), you can add in the post page your own options, directly from the Editor options or you can also build the sharing icons by yourself anywhere on the post.
