Have you ever wanted to share a web page, blog post, WooCommerce product, portfolio item or other piece of interesting content with your friends and colleagues? Avada already has an integrated Social Sharing Box (found at Avada > Options > Social Media > Social Sharing), but for even more control, we also have the Social Sharing Element! This Element was updated and renamed in Avada 7.2 from the Sharing Box Element to the Social Sharing Element, and now can be used in even more ways than before.
This handy Element can be placed wherever you want on a page, post, custom post type, or even in a Layout, and allows you to totally customize the look, color, appearance, links, and description of the link, to any piece of your content. Read on to find out more about this practical and versatile Social Element.,Share This Story Your Way!,View Element Demo Page!,OverviewHow To Use The ElementElement OptionsGlobal Options,Element OptionsLocation: The edit screen within each Element.
You can deploy as many individual Elements in pages and posts as you need, there is no limit. Within each of the Elements, you will see a tab or tabs that house an array of options that make it possible for you to configure each Element independently, and greatly enhance your flexibility and creative options.
Note: The Default setting will use the global settings assigned for this element at Avada > Options > Avada Builder Elements > Social Sharing.
