Hi
Please notice that tutorial are referring to Newsmag and for Newspaper it is a bit of different way for it’s implementation. Give a look at this topic here -> https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/add-a-linkedin-button/ because there you should find a solution regarding at this button implementation.
Thanks for the message!
Thank you for your quick response as always! We installed the Font Awesome 4 Menus plugin (relvance?) – Regardless, that’s what they advised, and confirmed all the code entries and sprite files precisely as you’ve instructed, but it’s still not working.
Hello dennisjpitocco,
Please ensure that you are following all the steps which are presented to the topic above. If you are not an experimented person in this regard and if you are not aware of the steps which are needed to take in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to help you because we cannot provide custom work at the moment, sorry!
Thanks for your understanding!
We are not seeking “custom work” Catalin. We have followed your steps precisely five (5) times, and it has been done by experienced people. Simply seeking reasonable help here as it simply doesn’t work.
Hello,
I have tested on my site again, following the same steps which I have explained you above and the Linked in button still working as properly, as you can see here -> http://screencast.com/t/NZb7k0HkB6l That implementation way is fully tested and should work and on your side, why not! Please try again this way and good luck.
Thanks.
Thank you Catalin – we’ll try it again!
Update: It Worked! No need for the Font Awesome addition. Thank you!
Hello dennisjpitocco,
I am glad that you could manage your problem.
Thanks.
Hi Catalin:
Linkedin Share Button has been working perfectly (following your advice above in September). However, it disappeared completely after we installed the latest Theme Update earlier this week!
I’m wondering if their new version code changes no longer support the temporary patch they supplied?
Here’s what we did:
1) Edit file: \public_html\wp-content\themes\Newspaper\includes\modules\td_module_single.php
At somewhere near line 53 add (just after/under whatsapp) add:
<a class=”td-social-sharing-buttons td-social-linkedin” href=”http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=’ .
urlencode(esc_url(get_permalink())) . ‘&title=’ . htmlspecialchars(urlencode(html_entity_decode($this->title,
ENT_COMPAT, ‘UTF-8’)), ENT_COMPAT, ‘UTF-8’) . ‘&source=’ . urlencode(get_bloginfo(‘name’)) . ‘”
onclick=”window.open(this.href, \’mywin\’,\’left=50,top=50,width=600,height=350,toolbar=0\’); return false;”><div
class=”td-sp td-sp-linkedin”></div>
2) Make sure custom CSS code is still there. Add in theme options, custom code, custom CSS:
.td-social-linkedin {background-color: #006699; }
.td-sp-linkedin {width: 32px; height: 32px; background-position: -24px -744px; }
We observed the code was still in the custom CSS theme options.
3) Replace the image sprite files with the one’s you manually supplied last time.
Replace the sprites in \public_html\wp-content\themes\Newspaper\images\sprite with:
Still not working… Help!
Hello,
I have tested this method again n the latest version of newspaper and the method still works as expected. http://screencast.com/t/YIrkN4SV
I’m not sure exactly why it’s npot working on your end byt you need to use font awesome, not sprites. The sprites have been removed from our theme from a few updates back. Only font awesome can provide the icon properly.
there are 2 copy/paste operations you need to make and 1 plugin install.
1. Copy this code:
<a class="td-social-sharing-buttons td-social-linkedin" href="http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=' . urlencode(esc_url(get_permalink())) . '&title=' . htmlspecialchars(urlencode(html_entity_decode($this->title, ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8')), ENT_COMPAT, 'UTF-8') . '&source=' . urlencode(get_bloginfo('name')) . '" onclick="window.open(this.href, \'mywin\',\'left=50,top=50,width=600,height=350,toolbar=0\'); return false;"><i class="fa fa-linkedin"></i></a>
Paste it here: http://screencast.com/t/iKzR3wrLjP
IMPORTANT NOTICE: there are 2 instances of the same code in that page. One is for the top sharing icons and one is for the bottom icons. If you want linked in on both you need to paste the code twice for each instance. If you only want the top or bottom, make sure you place the code in the corect spot.
2. Copy this code:
.td-social-linkedin{
margin-left:8px;
background-color:
#006699!important;;
}Paste it in the theme panel-> custom css spot
3. Install this plugin: https://www.newnine.com/plugins/font-awesome-4-menus
4. Clear all caching, and reset cdn files if you use it as cache needs to be cleared for changes to appear imediatly. Otherwise you will have to wait for the cache to be cleared and that depends on how you set it.
Thank you!
Thank you Bogdan for your remarkable support. it’s working now!
what would be the Code for Adding “Email Sharing” Functionality for Post sharing like adding Linkedin.
Hi,
@NegomboToday There are some similar topics that you could try
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/share-icons/
– https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/add-email-sharing-button-2/
Or you could simply install a sharing plugin that might have the option you need.
Thanks
