Add Facebook Share ButtonIf you are a blogger and want to add Facebook share button to promote your posts (which you have probably seen on many blogs) then this guide will teach you through the steps on how to add Facebook Share button on your WordPress blog.
I am going to share two ways to add those buttons, choose the best one for you:

Add Manual Code:

  1. First go to Facebook share button page
  2. Now choose whether you want button with counter or without
  3. Then choose “URL of parent page” in Link to share option
  4. It will generate a custom code, copy it from there
  5. Now open single.php file of your wordpress theme (usually found in /wp-content/themes/themename/single.php)
  6. Now paste that button code on your desired position, where you want in to appear.

Add Through Plugin:

The method which I shared earlier requires a bit of HTML/coding understanding, but if you are a complete newbie then this one is for you.

  1. Download and Install “Facebook Share (New) Button” plugin
  2. Activate the plugin through WP Admin Panel
  3. Now you’ll see “Facebook Share” option at the menu on the left, where you can customize and Facebook Share button in your posts.
