Add/Remove/Edit The Social Product Sharing Links

With the Ocean Product Sharing extension you can add social sharing buttons with a beautiful style to your single product pages - WooCommerce and/or Easy Digital Downloads (EDD).

If you want to add, remove or edit social sharing links, follow these steps:

  1. Create a folder called templates inside your child theme folder - .../wp-content/themes/your-child-theme-folder-name/templates
  2. Create a folder called extra inside the previously added templates folder - .../wp-content/themes/your-child-theme-folder-name/templates/extra
  3. Copy and paste the product-share.php file into the previously created extra folder. This file is located inside the Ocean Product Sharing plugin (ocean-product-sharing/template). The end path for your copied file will look like this: .../wp-content/themes/your-child-theme-folder-name/templates/extra/product-share.php
  4. Edit the copied product-share.php file (inside the child theme only!) to add classes, add or remove social sharing buttons and more.

If, for example, you added a new social sharing option, like WhatsApp, inside the product-share.php file in the child theme, you also need to call this option correctly in order for it to work.

In that case, add the following code to the functions.php file of the child theme:

add_filter( 'ops_product_sharing_sites_filter', 'add_whatsapp_to_socials' );

function add_whatsapp_to_socials( $socials ) {
  if ( is_array( $socials ) && ! in_array( 'whatsapp', $socials, true ) ) {
    $socials[] = 'whatsapp';
  }
  return $socials;
}

Adjust the above code per need.

Note: If you already have the "templates" folder inside the child theme, you don't need to create another one.
