Sharing

Give your readers the ability to easily share your content with Twitter, Facebook, and a host of other services, and watch your message spread across the web. Jetpack Sharing gives readers the tools to post your content to their networks from the bottom of each post and/or page.

You can configure services to appear as icons, text, or both. Some services have and additional option letting you display ‘Official’ buttons that show the number of times the post has been shared in real time. Just choose your display option and drag the services you want displayed to the ‘Enable’ box.

The following services are currently supported:

• Twitter
• Facebook
• Tumblr
• Google+
• Pinterest
• Digg
• Stumbleupon
• Reddit
• Pocket
• LinkedIn
• Press This
• Email
• Print

How do I create my own custom sharing button?

You can add your own custom services by clicking on ‘Add a new service’. You will then be able to add the service name, a URL, and an icon (if you choose to display them).

For more details on setting up your own custom service, check out our Sharing Support Document.

How do I add reCaptcha to the Email button

The Email button is great, and you can make it even better by adding a Captcha to the submission form:

To add the Captcha to your site, follow these steps:

1. Start by registering on this site. Upon registration, you will receive a Public and a Private key.
2. Open your site’s wp-config.php file in your favorite text editor, and add the following constants with both reCaptcha keys right before /* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging. */:

   define( 'RECAPTCHA_PUBLIC_KEY', 'XXXXXXX' );
   define( 'RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY', 'XXXXXXX' );
   

3. Voila! Your email sharing buttons are now protected against spammers!
