Hi, on the blog portion of my site, the share buttons only send readers to the social media accounts.

How do I set up the share buttons on the blog so that they share the actual blog post?

See example:

Hello,

Did you edit the original theme files?

Please provide us with wp-admin and FTP credentials in Private Content.

Hello,

As I see you’ve edited shortcodes.php file in the directory wp-content/themes/royal/framework.
If you want to use default share icons you need reupload original shortcodes.php from the theme package.

Best regards,
Jack Richardson.

I’m not sure I understand what you mean. I have no knowledge of editing a shortcodes file, I don’t even know how to do so.

I just want the blog post to be pre-populated when the reader clicks on the share button. As it stands now, it only takes the reader to the social media page. Please advise.

Hello,

I’ve reuploaded shortcodes.php file. Clear browser cache and check social icons now.

Best regards,
