Answered: Why is the social share plugin not working ?

Post date: 2020-01-24 00:22:26

Facebook the shepherd keeps changing so developers (sheep) must follow them.

As I look at your buttons, some Facebook sharer parameters were depreciated. They no longer support them.

The simplest functional URL should be: https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.ask-ans.com/123456789/i-want-it-that-way

To get the current URL using PHP is something like this: https://$_SERVERHTTP_HOST]$_SERVERREQUEST_URI]

There are also some other long and sophisticated ways by using Q2A functions, as you can see in http://docs.question2answer.org/code/functions/

Another solution is to use other non-Q2A social plugins. Go to any news site and you can grab one, for example addtoany.
