    Hi – I’ve added the share buttons to the single product page. When I click on the “whatsapp” green button nothing happens. I just get a blank browser window.

    Please advise, thank you.

    Hi,

    Thank you for reaching out to us.

    Could you please provide temporary wp-admin and FTP access? We will check what can be done to help you.
    To grant WP-Admin access, please proceed to create a new user account with an administrator role through your WordPress Dashboard. Once the account is established, you may securely transmit the username and password to us via the Private Content section designated for this purpose.

    For FTP access, we require the following details: FTP host, FTP username, FTP password, FTP port, and FTP encryption type. If you need assistance in creating these credentials, please reach out to your hosting provider who will guide you through the process.

    Warm Regards,
    The 8Theme Team

    Hello @tatad,

    You are currently using the Elementor Share Buttons element on your single product templates. We have checked and found that this issue also occurs on other customers’ websites and is not related to the theme used. For reference, please see: https://github.com/elementor/elementor/issues/9920.

    According to one of the suggested solutions, the problem appears to be caused by the “%” symbol in the product excerpt, which Elementor does not handle properly. Removing this symbol resolves the issue -> https://gyazo.com/83475b09d9a9903e64b6f58420670765.

    We noticed that some of your products contain such specific content (see: https://gyazo.com/875bb0d1c38187be45332cb29c75f8e2). We temporarily removed the excerpt for testing, and the popup then worked correctly. You may wish to modify your product excerpts accordingly and check the result.

    Best regards,

    Thank you – Does the theme has a similar feature for whatsapp? For once the Whatsapp button is clicked, I can attach some text like “im interested in this product” and carry that product page URL?

    Hello @tatad,

    Our theme does not include share widgets for single product pages created with Elementor, as the default widget generally meets most requirements. It appears that your request involves customization. If that is the case, you may submit your request through our customization services, or alternatively, you can install an additional plugin that offers product sharing functionality with popup options.

    Best regards,

    Thank you – Can you confirm that by deleting the “%” text from the product short description the widget worked? I just tried it and I still get the same blank window.

    Hello @tatad,

    If your description contains certain special characters, it may be skipped and displayed as a blank popup. Therefore, we kindly ask you to include some default text in the excerpt and verify it. We conducted a test using the default “Lorem ipsum” text, which does not contain any special characters.
