Adding social sharing buttons to single events

[James]

Hello,
I am using the7 theme and am trying to add social sharing on single events pages and came across this code to use:

$share_buttons = presscore_display_share_buttons_for_post( ‘post’, array(‘echo’ => false));
if ( $share_buttons ) {
printf( ‘

%s
‘, $post_tags . $share_buttons );
}

Can you tell me what file and where I would add this to have the buttons appear at the bottom of the event?
Thank you!

Hi, James.

We do not provide support for integration with third-party themes’ features, but here’s a code snippet that may be helpful if you want to use Jetpack’s sharing feature:

Best practice for adding custom code (like to implement a PHP snippet to modify The Events Calendar) is to create a functionality plugin, unless it’s something specific to your theme, in which case best practice is to make sure you’re using a child theme, then add the customization to your child theme’s functions.php file.

Also, FYI, the code you shared looks incomplete unless it’s going to be used in one of your theme template files (i.e. not complete for using in functions.php).

If you want to use your theme’s sharing buttons, please contact them for further assistance.

I hope this information helps!
