I am using ShareThis two ways. The right hand side is using their built in buttons. I write some custom og at the top of the page so that it references this whole site as a whole and not just this individual blog. In the content of the post i have a Share This Post on Facebook.

<div data-network="facebook" data-url="">Share This Post on Facebook</div>

I am calling JS:

<script type="text/javascript" src="//platform-api.sharethis/js/sharethis.js#property=MYID&product=custom-share-buttons"></script>

From all I read the data-network="facebook" should trigger the share on the data-url. It is acting like nothing is happening at all. What am I missing in sharing custom buttons?

• javascript
• sharethis

• Have you added the sharethis js on top of the page – Nouphal.M Commented Jun 19, 2017 at 8:30

I figured out that the custom divs also need a class — st-custom-button — to make them work.

It doesn't actually say that anywhere, which is why I didn't do it, but I finally noticed it's in one of the examples on this page, so I thought I'd give it a try. And it works. >.<
