Add email sharing button

Hello I´d like to know how I can add email sharing button at the end of posts.

Thanks

Hi

Unfortunately the theme does not have an option to add an email share button on posts. However you can achieve that using a plugin with a similar functionality. I can’t make any recommendation in this regard as we didn’t tested any plugin like this but i fond here some informations which may hep: https://jetpack.com/support/sharing/ – https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/responsive-social-sharing-plugins/

Thanks!

Hi. I found the same plugin.
Thanks!

Hi,

I wanted to ask about this feature as well. I don’t want to use Jetpack as your theme already has it’s own sharing features. Can email sharing be added to the feature request list, please?

Hi

I’ve added your suggestion on our list and when the time comes our developers will consider it. This may take some time because we have a long implementation list and we take them one by one.
Thanks for your suggestion, have a nice day.

+ 1 for email share to be added to the social options 🙂

Hi,

Here is a simplified way of adding a ‘share by email’ icon. It works for us, but you must update one theme file after each theme update. (won’t work by adding in child theme)

This method simply calls on the default mail client to open on a desktop, and does not use WP to actually send the email, which we did not want anyway, to avoid any spamming.

File: ../themes/Newspaper/includes/modules/td_module_single.php

I added this line after ‘Pinterest’ link and before ‘Whatsapp’:

EDIT: PHP code was sanitized on this post, so here is the screenshot of it:

And here is the CSS:

/* SOCIAL SHARING - EMAIL ICON */
.td-social-email {
  background-color: #00aeef;
  margin-left: 10px;
  padding-left: 11px;
}
.td-icon-mail::before {
  content: '\e810'; /* or '\e820' */
  font-size: 19px;
} 

Enjoy 🙂

This was on Newspaper 7 install, btw. I just realized the original post was under Newsmag.
