Hi! in my social share box bar only appears twitter, facebook and pinterest and in english. I would like to add google+ and linkedin and change the language to spanish! How could I do that?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Alejo,

For share box we use http://www.sharethis.com/ tool. And all information about it you can read on this website.

However answer on your question about Google+ you can find on http://forum.muffingroup.com/betheme/discussion/206/add-google-to-the-share-box but to get answer on question related with language modification please take a look at https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-do-i-translate-sharethis and http://support.sharethis.com/customer/portal/articles/517332-share-widget-faqs#sthash.WFxAEJko.dpbs

I found this helpful but would like to know if I add the plug in to the theme will that give me any more additional features or will it mess up the coding that is already there?

@webgirl2009 We don't know because we did never tested it. So you need to check it yourself.

Hello you say to use Share This but you don't tell us what file you put the code for it in?

Bryan · March 2017

If you're using the shortcode the code is in functions/theme-shortcodes.php

If you are using the blog one the code is in includes/content-single.php

If you are using the portfolio one the code is in includes/content-single-portfolio.php

thanks

Many WP users aren't comfortable going into .PHP files and making updates like this. Would be great for BeTheme to make this adjustable within the theme settings. For B2B companies, I think LinkedIn is more important than FB and Pintrest, but its not available by default in the Share Box.

As a follow-up question, I also want to remove Pinterest and replace it with LinkedIn, specifically for my blog posts. I found "content-single.php" file mentioned above, but its part of the parent theme (BeTheme). I don't have that same file in my Child Theme. If I update content-single.php in the parent theme, will it be overwritten upon future BeTheme updates? If so, what's the best way to fix this issue?

Bryan · September 2017

Yes, it will be overwritten on the update. Please use the child theme in order to keep the changes after an update.
thanks

Ok - so do I simply duplicate the "content-single.php" file within the child theme, and replace Pinterest with LinkedIn in that file?

Bryan · September 2017

Yes, just copy the file to the child theme folder, and make sure that you also recreate the directory path if a file is in a directory in the parent theme it also has to be in the same directory in the child theme.
