I want to enable Whatsapp sharing button on desktop. CSS should not be a problem, but the link starts with whatsapp://send?text=H, I’d like to override it to https://wa.me/?text= in a child theme.

May I know why the theme is not using the latest form of the link?

Hi,

That was the implementation use for Whatsapp sharing button when this option was add in our theme; I will send your topic to our developers to make a check and if there need to be make some changes they will do it.
Also the code that you mentioned above is use for desktop version of the whats-app share link and the on from the theme is only for the mobile version.

Thank you for your understanding!

Thanks Calin. In the case you decide to not to change the link, at least provide a filter (or another method) to update it ourselves from a child theme (could be useful to add default parameters).

Meanwhile I’ve replaced the code.

Thank you!
