What script should you add first in order to add social sharing links to your Webflow page?
To add social sharing links to your Webflow page, you will need to add a script that allows for the integration of social media platforms. The first script you should add is the one that sets up the basic structure of the social sharing links. Here's how you can do it:
Create a new HTML widget: To add the necessary script, first, navigate to the page where you want to add the social sharing links in the Webflow Designer. Then, select an element (such as a div) and click the "Add" button in the right sidebar. From the dropdown menu, choose "Embed", and then click on the "Open Text Editor" button.
Add the script: In the text editor, you can add the script code that sets up the social sharing links. There are several third-party scripts available that provide this functionality, such as ShareThis or AddThis. Choose one that suits your needs and copy the provided script code.
Paste the script code: Paste the script code into the text editor of the HTML widget. Ensure that you place it within
<script>tags to signify that it is JavaScript code.Customize the social sharing links: Depending on the script you're using, you may need to configure the social media platforms and appearance of the sharing links. This can typically be done through the script's settings panel or by modifying the script code directly. Refer to the documentation or support resources of the chosen script for more details on customization options.
Style the social sharing links: Once the script is added and configured, you can style the social sharing links to match the design of your website. This can be done using Webflow's built-in styling tools or by targeting the relevant classes or IDs generated by the script.
Preview and publish: After adding the script and styling the social sharing links, preview your page to ensure that the sharing functionality is working as expected. Once you're satisfied, publish your site to make the social sharing links available to your visitors.
By adding the appropriate script to your Webflow page, you can easily incorporate social sharing links, allowing visitors to share your content across various social media platforms.
