The Share Box block adds social sharing controls directly inside layouts created with the WordPress block editor. Visitors can use the available buttons to share the current page or post through supported social networks and services.
The block can be inserted anywhere the WordPress block editor is available, making it useful for posts, pages, Content Blocks and other custom layouts where you want to provide an additional sharing interface.
Blocksy Companion required
The Share Box block becomes available after installing and activating Blocksy Companion.
Getting Started
Open the WordPress block inserter and search for Share Box. After adding the block to your layout, select the social networks and services that should be available to visitors, then adjust the appearance of the sharing icons from the editor sidebar.
The block automatically uses the URL and relevant information from the current page or post when generating its sharing actions.
Granular Controls
Social Networks
Choose which supported sharing services are displayed inside the block. Only enable the networks that are relevant to your audience to keep the sharing interface focused.
Availability depends on whether a service provides a compatible way to share web content. Blocksy has added support for additional networks over time, including services such as LINE and Threads.
Icon Size & Spacing
Adjust the size of the sharing icons and the spacing between individual buttons to fit the surrounding layout.
Icon Colors
Control the Colors used by the sharing icons. Depending on the selected design, you can use your own custom Colors or the official Colors associated with each supported network.
Icon Shape
Choose the presentation used for the sharing controls, including plain icons or icons displayed inside one of the available shaped containers.
Use the shape and Color settings together to match the Share Box with the surrounding content and the rest of your website’s interface.
