Add social buttons (share buttons) to blog pages and product cards in 2023
Auteur : Roman S.Social buttons are an important element on website pages.
They are also needed on blog pages and product card pages.
However, the AddThis service stopped working 6 months ago.
At the same time, the ability to add social buttons to blog pages and automatically generated product cards has completely disappeared.
For 6 months (HALF A YEAR!) on websites created in the WebSiteX5 program, blog pages and product cards remain without social buttons.
Was it really impossible to find a solution to this problem in six months?
Will the employees of Incomedia calmly leave for the Christmas holidays, having solved this problem for thousands and thousands of WebSiteX5 users?
Perhaps, to solve this problem, integration with some online service is not required.
Perhaps it is enough to add an area to the automatically generated pages where the user of the WebSiteX5 program could add his html code.
For example, this could be the Inline Share Buttons code from the sharethis.com service or from some other service, at the discretion of the user.
I hope Incomedia solves this problem in 2023.
Thanks for understanding
Hi, you can always solve it easily with a different service by implementing it with simple code as I did on my pages

considering the times of Incomedia maybe it's worth it for you

Thanks for pointing out your option, Giancarlo!
This is a pretty elegant solution.
But this option is not suitable for all users and not for all projects.
There are some alternatives to AddThis, but I have no experience with them.
Maybe the other users of Website X5 can give recommendations.
