AddToAny for images enables image sharing to services, and automatically displays share buttons on hover over images. Image sharing works in galleries, sliders, slideshows, lightboxes, carousels, and even on dynamically loaded images. You can choose to share image links instead of page links, which is useful when a site doesn't have a dedicated page per image.

Note: Since May 1st 2019, Facebook no longer accepts arbitrary preview images for pages shared from the web. Only a single static preview image specified in the page's meta tags will be used by Facebook.
For social media and search engine optimization, AddToAny image sharing by default shares the URL of a page containing an image. You can opt to share the URL of an image instead of the page, which has some tradeoffs. A preview of the image will show on Facebook, for example, but Facebook will be linking to the image directly instead of one of your pages. Twitter won't show a preview image, but will link to the image directly.
For further customization, you can specify the exact HTML you want to use for your share buttons overlay. The html property overrides all properties outlined above except position. HTML must begin with div.a2a_kit.a2a_overlay_style as in the following example.
Add Facebook Like buttons to your site to help visitors share your content in their Facebook friends' News Feeds. This guide demonstrates how to add custom like buttons to pages and blog posts using code blocks.
You can modify your custom code to display a unique Facebook Like button below each of your blog posts. When visitors click this like button, they will like the specific blog post, rather than your site as a whole.
The most common types of social media buttons offer share, like, and follow functions. Each serves a different purpose, and the ways they work vary somewhat among networks. But each type generally does what its name implies:
Adding a Facebook share button to your website, not surprisingly, allows visitors to share your content with their friends and followers on Facebook. They can choose to share your content on their timeline, to a group, or even in a private message using Facebook Messenger. Users can also add their own personalized message to the shared content before posting.
When you include a Facebook share button on your site, you can choose whether to show the number of times the page has already been shared (as we did in the button above). If your page gets a lot of social shares, this number can provide great social proof of the value of your content.
How it worksWhen someone clicks on a Twitter hashtag button on your website, a pop up window opens to a Tweet populated with the chosen hashtag. This is a great way to encourage people to share content to your branded hashtag, or motivate them to participate in a Twitter chat.
You can choose to pre-fill some message text, which could work well if the button is on a page where people are likely to contact you about a specific product, customer service issue, or promotion. You can also choose whether to show your username on the button, the button size, and the language in which to display the button text.
You have a few options when configuring your YouTube subscribe button. You have the options to include your YouTube profile image, a dark background behind the button, and whether you want to show your existing subscriber count. As with the other networks, highlighting an existing large subscriber count can be a great signal of social proof.
The Pinterest save button is equivalent to the share button for other networks in that saving your content to a Pinterest board extends your reach. Since Pinterest is an image-based platform for keeping track of information and ideas, it works a little differently from share buttons on other networks. There are three different ways you can set the Pinterest save button up on your site:
Social networks provide the perfect channels to share content and form a direct line of contact to customers, readers, and fans. With its aforementioned like and share functions as well as the option for leaving comments, Facebook does this perfectly. Feedback from users that is given along such lines, also referred to as social signals, plays a decisive role in determining online success for a number of reasons:
Have you tried Fix 3? It sounds like your featured image on your blog might be too small, or the file name is causing a problem. Replace your image with a different larger image and then check with the FB debugger. If there are no Open Graph errors, it should work.
Unlike Instagram Stories which can only be shared from the mobile Instagram app, you can create and share Facebook Stories from your computer, the Facebook app, Facebook Lite, and even the Facebook Messenger app!
The Boomerang option works just like it does on Instagram. All you need to do is tap the record button to stitch together a burst of photos to create a short animation that plays forward and backward.
As you can see the preview mode does not provide any image preview, article description, or content title. If you share such a URL on Facebook, you are not going to get much traffic since it does not provide any information or feel appealing.
This method requires that the current document have the web-share Permissions Policy and transient activation. (It must be triggered off a UI event like a button click and cannot be launched at arbitrary points by a script.) Further, the method must specify valid data that is supported for sharing by the native implementation.
Statistics show that Facebook audiences are happy to engage with the people and brands they follow. In fact, users leave around five billion comments every month and they love clicking that like button. This is even more prevalent with the various Facebook Reactions available too.
Facebook users generate around 4 million likes per minute. Adding your own like button to your website means that they can share their feelings about your content quickly and easily. The social site provides a page you can use to develop your own like button.
The Save button allows followers to save items or services on a private listing and share it with friends. For instance, if your customer notices a shirt they like on your clothing store, they can save it and come back later.
You might use this embed on Facebook technique to highlight a brand achievement, share a great social example (like we do here on our blog), to quote a specific person or company and to Facebook comments. After all, 74% of customers consider word-of-mouth to be essential to their purchasing decisions.
One of Facebook's most powerful features as a social network is the ability for users to share photos with other users. You can upload individual photos to your Facebook wall or the wall of a group or page for which you have posting access. These images show up as posts in your newsfeed. If you'd like to add a detailed description to a Facebook picture post, you can either include a caption when you first upload your own photo, edit the photo later to include your caption or share someone else's photo to add a caption to an image you didn't upload.
Add your caption as you post the photo to your Facebook. At the top of the Facebook home page, click the "Add Photo/Video" link, then click "Upload Photo/Video." Click "Browse" and browse your hard drive for your image, then double-click the image file. This automatically uploads the image to Facebook. Type your caption in the box above the upload field and customize the tagging and privacy settings beneath the caption to your liking. Click the blue "Post" button to publish the photo to your Facebook album and wall with the caption displayed beneath it.
Edit an existing photo in your own photo albums to include your caption. From your Facebook profile, click the "Photos" tab on the left column, then click to the image to which you want to add a caption. Click the "Edit" link under your name beneath the image, then type your caption. If the photo already has a caption, you can add, edit or delete it at this time, as well. Click the blue "Save" button beneath the dialogue box to save the caption.
Share an image from another person's photo album to add your own caption. You can't add captions to other people's albums or photos, but if you share it on your own news feed, Facebook allows you to add your own comments. Click the "Share" button under any image in another person's photo album. Select from the drop-down menu where you'd like to post the image: on your wall, on a friend's wall, on a Facebook group or on a Facebook page you administer. Type your caption in the box that says "Write Something," then click the blue "Share Photo" in the lower right corner of the dialogue box to repost the image with your new caption.
Shopify's free themes use Open Graph tags to give social media platforms information about your website. Open Graph is used by Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, Pinterest, and other services. You can preview what your social image may look like on some platforms with tools like Twitter's Card Validator, Facebook's Crawler and LinkedIn's Post Inspector.
What am I missing? I want the tall image I have on each post shared to Pinterest and I have wide images I want to add like this to each post specifically for Twitter/Facebook. Any help appreciated. Support is OPEN. Thanks.
I don't care what image you use for right now. I just want there to be 2 images. 1 tall for pinterest, and 1 wide for facebook/twitter (which I will likely hide) and to figure out how to make it work with Facebook.
It seems, a conflict is taking effect. Would you please disable all other plugins except smartcrawl and enable default theme, and then check the post in facebook? If you see the image by then, please enable other plugins one by one and at the last, enable your theme and find out which one is creating the conflict. 2ff7e9595c
