FAQ
-
Where are the options, and how can I customize the sharing plugin?
-
In WordPress, go to Settings > AddToAny.
Setup Follow buttons (like Instagram, YouTube, etc.) using the AddToAny Follow widget in Appearance > Widgets (or Appearance > Customize).
To further customize AddToAny, see the WordPress sharing documentation for the AddToAny plugin. Many customizations will have you copy & paste one or more lines of code into your “Additional JavaScript” or “Additional CSS” box. Those boxes are in Settings > AddToAny.
-
Something is wrong. What should I try first?
-
Try temporarily switching themes and deactivating other plugins to identify a potential conflict. If you find a conflict, try contacting that theme or plugin author. If an issue persists on a default theme with all other plugins deactivated, search the WordPress plugin’s support forum.
Feel free to post here, where the community can hopefully help you. Describe the issue, what troubleshooting you have already done, provide a link to your site, and any other potentially relevant information.
-
Something on your own device/browser/connection is likely filtering out major social buttons.
Try another web browser, device, and/or Internet connection to see if the buttons appear. Tools like browserling.com or browserstack.com will give you an idea of what other people are seeing. The usual cause for this uncommon issue is 3rd party browser add-on software that blocks ads and optionally filters out major social buttons. Some security apps and Internet connections have an option to filter social buttons. Usually a social filter option is disabled by default, but if you find that some software is inappropriately filtering AddToAny buttons, let AddToAny know.
-
What is the shortcode for sharing?
-
You can place your share buttons exactly where you want them by inserting the following shortcode:
[addtoany]
Customize the shared URL like so:
[addtoany url="https://www.example.com/page.html" title="Some Example Page"]
Display specific share buttons by specifying comma-separated service codes:
[addtoany buttons="facebook,mastodon,email"]
Share a specific image or video to certain services that accept arbitrary media (Pinterest, Yummly, Houzz):
[addtoany buttons="pinterest,yummly,houzz" media="https://www.example.com/media/picture.jpg"]
-
For Facebook sharing, how can I set the thumbnail image and description Facebook uses?
-
Facebook expects the Title, Description, and preview image of a shared page to be defined in the Open Graph meta tags of a shared page.
Use Facebook’s Sharing Debugger on your pages to see how Facebook reads your site. “Scrape Again” to test site changes and clear Facebook’s cache of a page, or use the Batch Invalidator to purge Facebook’s cache of multiple URLs.
To change the title, description and/or image on Facebook, your theme’s header file should be modified according to Facebook’s OpenGraph specification. With WordPress, this can be accomplished with plugins such as Yoast SEO or the Social Meta feature of the All in One SEO Pack. Please see those plugins for details, and post in the WordPress or plugin author’s forums for more support.
For more technical information on setting your pages up for Facebook sharing, see “Sharing Best Practices for Websites” in Facebook’s documentation.
-
AddToAny routing enables publisher customization, visitor personalization, and keeps the AddToAny plugin remarkably lightweight without the need for constant plugin updates. In AddToAny menus, visitors see the services they actually use. On mobile, AddToAny presents the choice of sharing to a service’s native app or mobile site and the preference is used on the next share. Publishers take advantage of AddToAny services such as email templates, custom parameters, URL shorteners, localization, and more. Just as service icons change, service endpoints change too, and AddToAny is updated daily to reflect service endpoint and API changes.
-
Configure your social media profile links by adding the “AddToAny Follow” widget in Appearance > Customize or Appearance > Widgets.
-
How can I use custom icons?
-
Upload sharing icons in a single directory to a public location, and make sure the icon filenames match the icon filenames packaged in the AddToAny plugin. In WordPress, go to Settings > AddToAny > Advanced Options > check the “Use custom icons” checkbox and specify the URL to your custom icons directory (including the trailing
/
). For AddToAny’s universal button, go to Universal Button, select “Image URL” and specify the exact location of your AddToAny universal share icon (including the filename). -
In the Theme Editor (or another code editor), place this code block where you want the button and individual icons to appear in your theme:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_KIT' ) ) { ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_KIT(); } ?>
You can specify AddToAny service code(s) to show specific share buttons, for example:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_KIT' ) ) { ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_KIT( array( 'buttons' => array( 'facebook', 'mastodon', 'email', 'whatsapp' ), ) ); } ?>
To customize the shared URL and title:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_KIT' ) ) { ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_KIT( array( 'linkname' => 'Example Page', 'linkurl' => 'https://example.com/page.html', ) ); } ?>
To share the current URL and title (detected on the client-side):
<?php if ( function_exists( 'ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_KIT' ) ) { ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_KIT( array( 'use_current_page' => true ) ); } ?>
To hardcode the shared current URL and modify the title (server-side):
<?php if ( function_exists( 'ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_KIT' ) ) { ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_KIT( array( 'linkname' => is_home() ? get_bloginfo( 'description' ) : wp_title( '', false ), 'linkurl' => esc_url_raw( home_url( $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] ) ), ) ); } ?>
To share a specific image or video to certain services that accept arbitrary media (Pinterest, Yummly):
<?php if ( function_exists( 'ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_KIT' ) ) { ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_KIT( array( 'buttons' => array( 'pinterest', 'yummly' ), 'linkmedia' => 'https://www.example.com/media/picture.jpg', 'linkname' => 'Example Page', 'linkurl' => 'https://www.example.com/page.html', ) ); } ?>
-
See the supported follow services for service code names, then place this example code in your theme’s file(s) where you want the follow buttons to appear:
<?php if ( function_exists( 'ADDTOANY_FOLLOW_KIT' ) ) { ADDTOANY_FOLLOW_KIT( array( 'buttons' => array( 'facebook' => array( 'id' => 'zuck' ), 'instagram' => array( 'id' => 'kevin' ), 'tumblr' => array( 'id' => 'photomatt' ), ), ) ); } ?>
-
You can add the following example PHP code using a “functionality” plugin such as the Code Snippets plugin:
function addtoany_add_share_services( $services ) { $services['example_share_service'] = array( 'name' => 'Example Share Service', 'icon_url' => 'https://www.example.com/my-icon.svg', 'icon_width' => 32, 'icon_height' => 32, 'href' => 'https://www.example.com/share?url=A2A_LINKURL&title=A2A_LINKNAME', ); return $services; } add_filter( 'A2A_SHARE_SAVE_services', 'addtoany_add_share_services', 10, 1 );
-
You can customize the following example PHP code and add it to a “functionality” plugin such as the Code Snippets plugin:
function addtoany_add_follow_services( $services ) { $services['example_follow_service'] = array( 'name' => 'Example Follow Service', 'icon_url' => 'https://www.example.com/my-icon.svg', 'icon_width' => 32, 'icon_height' => 32, 'href' => 'https://www.example.com/${id}', ); return $services; } add_filter( 'A2A_FOLLOW_services', 'addtoany_add_follow_services', 10, 1 );
-
It depends on your theme, but you can try adding the following CSS code to your Additional CSS box in Settings > AddToAny.
To align right:
.addtoany_content { text-align:right; }
To align center:
.addtoany_content { text-align:center; }

You can disable AddToAny sharing using a filter (PHP code) that you can add to a “functionality” plugin such as the Code Snippets plugin.
Disable AddToAny sharing in specific categories, for example:
function addtoany_disable_sharing_in_some_categories() { // Examples of in_category usage: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/in_category if ( in_category( array( 'my_category_1_slug', 'my_category_2_slug' ) ) ) { return true; } } add_filter( 'addtoany_sharing_disabled', 'addtoany_disable_sharing_in_some_categories' );
Disable AddToAny sharing on a custom post type, for example:
function addtoany_disable_sharing_on_my_custom_post_type() { if ( 'my_custom_post_type' == get_post_type() ) { return true; } } add_filter( 'addtoany_sharing_disabled', 'addtoany_disable_sharing_on_my_custom_post_type' );

-
Yes, AddToAny is GDPR compatible by default.

post-load
event for AddToAny and other plugins:jQuery( 'body' ).trigger( 'post-load' );
-
How can I set the plugin as a “Must-Use” plugin that is autoloaded and activated for all sites?
-
Upload (or move) the
add-to-any
plugin directory into the/wp-content/mu-plugins/
directory. Then create a proxy PHP loader file (such asload.php
) in yourmu-plugins
directory, for example:<?php require WPMU_PLUGIN_DIR . '/add-to-any/add-to-any.php';
