Hi, I need to add social sharing buttons below each post without having to get into the single post. For example, I have a page showing GIF images, I would like the user be able to like-share every image right in this “gif page”. this page would be a good example:

Also, is it possible to completely erase the default socials so I can use another plugin? (sassy social share). Maybe this would be better for me

Hello yano,

Please keep in mind that our theme does not have any default settings that allows you to add a Social Sharing to your blocks, but only to your posts, sorry! If you want to use that plugin you can use it but please notice that is an untested plugin and we cannot say for sure if it will work or not, sorry! Also, we cannot provide support for untested plugins, sorry!

Thanks for your understanding!

Hi Catalin, thanks for your reply.
I see. I’m kinda struggling with the customization. Is it possible to add a shortcode inside the block’s elements. For example, The block is showing 5 posts, can I add a shortcode that is shown below every post? as the following:
-Post 1
shortcode social share
-post 2
shortcode social share
-post 3
shortcode social share
…

I’m sorry, first time using another’s theme, I have some experience developing my own -not so complex- WP themes…I mention this just to let you know that maybe I could understand your explanation for doing this 🙂

Hello yano,

I am sorry for this inconvenience but please notice that our theme does not have any such an option that allows you to display any social sharing buttons inside the blocks, sorry! If you want to add some code inside the block’s elements, notice that you should edit the theme core files which creates the blocks/modules and add there as you wish but please notice that task involve more custom work and we cannot provide this type of services at the moment, sorry! If you want to develop our theme in this case and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer or developer to help you!

Thanks for the message!
