Snippet: How to Add New Social Share Options

  • Updated:

The following snippet is an example showing how you may add custom social share buttons to the Total theme's social share functionality. By default the theme only includes the most commonly used social share options to keep the theme slim and also because it's well known that the less social share buttons you provide the more likely people are to actually use them.

/**
 * Add new social share items.
 */
add_filter( 'wpex_social_share_items', function ( $items ) {
	$items['whatsapp'] = [
		'site'       => 'Whatsapp',
		'label'      => 'Whatsapp',
		'li_class'   => 'whatsapp',
		'icon'       => 'whatsapp', // either the name of a theme icon or SVG code
		'href'       => 'https://wa.me/?text=' . rawurlencode( get_permalink() ),
	];
	return $items;
} );
All PHP snippets should be added via child theme's functions.php file or via a plugin.
