To add a Facebook share button to specific pages on your Webflow website, similar to the one shown on the Webflow blog, you can follow these steps:

  1. Get the Facebook SDK code: First, you will need to get the Facebook SDK code. You can do this by visiting the Facebook Developer website (developers.facebook.com) and creating an app. Once you have created an app, Facebook will provide you with the SDK code.

  2. Copy the SDK code: Copy the provided SDK code from Facebook, which usually looks like a JavaScript code snippet.

  3. Paste the SDK code: Go to your Webflow project and navigate to the Project Settings. Under the Project Settings tab, click on the Custom Code section. Paste the Facebook SDK code in the Footer Code section.

  4. Create a Facebook Share button: Now, go to the page in your Webflow project where you want to add the Facebook share button. Add a div block to the desired location on the page.

  5. Add custom code: With the div block selected, click on the plus icon to add an HTML Embed element. In the HTML Embed element settings, enter the following code:

    ```html

    \`\`\`

    Replace "https://yourwebsite.com/your-page-url" with the actual URL of the page where you want the share button to be. Additionally, you can customize the data-layout attribute to adjust the appearance of the button. For example, use button_count for a compact button with the count or box_count for a larger button with the count box.

  6. Style the button: You can style the Facebook share button by targeting the .fb-share-button class in your Webflow project's Custom Code or through the Designer's Custom Code section. Use CSS to modify the appearance of the button to match your website's design.

  7. Publish your changes: Once you have added the code and styled the button, publish your changes to make the Facebook share button visible on your Webflow website.

By following these steps, you should be able to add a Facebook share button to specific pages on your Webflow website, similar to the one shown on the Webflow blog.
