Share Buttons Don't Pull Any Images

[onehipcat]

Hi,

I have searched the form and haven’t found an answer for this. On my blog posts, the share buttons (Facebook, Pinterest) don’t pull any images. Is there something I need to do to enable this?

Thanks!

Hey,

Yes, you will need to set a featured image for the posts.

Thanks,
David.

Thank you! A couple of other notes: All of the share buttons seem to pop-up in a new window except for Pinterest. It uses the same window. Can we get Pinterest to pop-up in a new window?

Also, the Twitter share only populates the link of the page. Is there a way to get it to show more information like the “Blog Title & via @username”

Thanks so much.

Another problem:

When I set the featured image, it removes the title from the page as in this example: http://707ave.com/rania-esper-the-blush-diaries/

Any way to get the title back? The title is checked to be displayed.

Hey,

1)

If you activate your child theme, please copy the file single.php into the child theme folder.

Within single.php search for this: <li><a href="http://pinterest.com and replace it with this: <li><a target="_blank" href="http://pinterest.com

2)

In single.php in your child theme:

Find this: <li><a href="https://twitter.com/share?url=<?php the_permalink(); ?>"

Replace with: <li><a href="https://twitter.com/share?url=<?php the_permalink(); ?>&text=<?php the_title(); ?>"

Thanks,
David.

Thanks so much. In the twitter how would I add:

“via @707ave”

No problem,

You would need to change it roughly this:

&text=<?php the_title(); ?>%20via%20@707ave"
