To add social sharing buttons for Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin to a webpage using Webflow, you can use code snippets. Here's an example of the code you can use:
Step 1: Add the code snippet to your Webflow project
- Open your Webflow project and navigate to the page where you want to add the social sharing buttons.
- Click on the element where you want to insert the buttons or create a new one.
- In the right-hand panel, go to the "Settings" tab and scroll down to the "Custom Code" section.
- In the "Custom Code" section, click on the "+" button to add a new custom code snippet.
- A popup will appear. Give your code snippet a name, such as "Social Sharing Buttons".
- In the "Add code" textarea, paste the following code snippet (replace
URL_OF_YOUR_PAGE
with the actual URL of the page you want to share):
<div> <!-- Facebook --> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=URL_OF_YOUR_PAGE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <img src="PATH_TO_FACEBOOK_ICON_IMAGE" alt="Share on Facebook"> </a> <!-- Twitter --> <a href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=URL_OF_YOUR_PAGE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <img src="PATH_TO_TWITTER_ICON_IMAGE" alt="Share on Twitter"> </a> <!-- Linkedin --> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=URL_OF_YOUR_PAGE" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> <img src="PATH_TO_LINKEDIN_ICON_IMAGE" alt="Share on Linkedin"> </a></div>
Step 2: Customize the code snippet
- Replace
URL_OF_YOUR_PAGE
with the actual URL of the page you want to share. - Replace
PATH_TO_FACEBOOK_ICON_IMAGE
,PATH_TO_TWITTER_ICON_IMAGE
, andPATH_TO_LINKEDIN_ICON_IMAGE
with the paths to your own icon images for Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin.
Step 3: Style the social sharing buttons
- Once you've added the code snippet, you can style the buttons using Webflow's built-in design tools.
- Select the element that contains the social sharing buttons and apply any desired styling, such as changing the size, position, background color, and more.
- You can also apply CSS styles directly to the code snippet if you prefer.
That's it! You now have social sharing buttons for Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin on your Webflow webpage. Remember to publish your changes for them to take effect.
