Sticky Bar Sharing Buttons

You can add a social share bar that sticks to the bottom of the screen on mobile or desktop devices via the “Sticky Bar” option in the Toolkit.

Sticky Bar Settings

First, select the networks you’d like to include by clicking the “Select Networks” button.

After you have chosen networks, you can sort them in whichever order you wish them to appear on the front-end side of your website. To sort the items, simply click and hold the sort icon (the three stacked lines) on the left of each item and move the network in the desired position. You can also remove networks by clicking the “X Remove” icon on the right of each item.


Now you can decide where and how you’d like them to display!
