Adding a social network to your Fast Custom Social Share is easy:

Visit ‘Social Networks’ tab in your plugin admin.

Click ‘Add New’.

You will need to fill the fields that describe the social network, especially name and the id.

An important field is the “The GET share URL of the social network” – this is the url that allows your users to share your page when they click on the social share.

Finding this url for any social network is rather easy: Just check the URL in your browser when you click to share something on that network from a website or other service and copy/paste that url. Alternatively, you can just search for ‘XYZ social network GET share url’ on internet and find their share url.

After that, you should replace the necessary variables into their url. To give an example from Reddit share url:

http://reddit.com/submit?url={CONTENTURL}&title={CONTENTTITLE}

You must place {CONTENTURL} into the place where the shared url appears in the social network’s share url, and {CONTENTTITLE} to the place where the description or title of the shared page appears.

So, if the share url of the social network is like

http://reddit.com/submit?url=http://mysuperpage.com&title=Super%20Content

Then you replace in {CONTENTURL} instead of http://mysuperpage.com and {CONTENTTITLE} instead of Super%20Content.

Then you put the final

http://reddit.com/submit?url={CONTENTURL}&title={CONTENTTITLE}

url into the “The GET share URL of the social network” field in your plugin admin.

Also you should upload an icon for the new social network – anything that is a square icon/picture will do. Pay attention to not make it so large so it wont slow down page loads – a 42×42 px icon is generally fine in many circumstances.

When you save the new social network via these fields, it will immediately be available in your shares!

Just remember to reset your site cache if you are using a caching plugin.
