Share Whole Blog Or, Individual Blog Post (Google Sites)

Greetings All :wave:t5:

  • Issue description:
  1. Is there a way to share the whole blog or, individual blog post to social media platforms like LinkedIn, Facebook?
  2. The Blog Widget is being used on a Google Site.
  3. The page also has other Elfsight Widgets: Youtube Gallery; Business Hours; and Subscription Form.
  4. It also has Google Site native Social Media Link “Widget”; and Google Site native text box.
  5. I tried using the Elfsight’s Social Share Buttons Widget to do the share, however the link just shared some garble that went to a blank site.
  6. Would the URL Slug have anything to do with how blog post are shared?
  • Link to the page with the widget in question:
  1. I can share the blog if necessary.

Thank you,
mw

Social Share buttons aren’t available in the Blog now, but we have a request for this on the Wishlist - Social share at bottom of blog post.

Basically, you can share links to specific blog posts. You just click on the needed post, the post popup appears, and you get a link to this post with the URL slug added to the widget:


However, due to the peculiarities of the Google Sites platform, this feature won’t work there. I am really sorry :pensive:

Thus, the only option for now is to use the link to the whole page where the widget is installed, or share just the widget using the Share Link option:


For the same reason (Google Sites iframes) the Social Share Button widget doesn’t work correctly.

I am not sure if it can be adjusted, but if you could share a link to the page where this widget is installed, I’d be happy to double-check it with the devs.

Thank you, Max.

I’ll work around the peculiarities, they’re not unsurmountable. I’m going to give this a break for now, and check back in later.

Thank you again for all your support.
