Feature Request – New button for Pocket

Hi Ryan! If you are up for adding some code to your website, you can add a sharing button for Pocket with just a little bit of code and elbow grease. You can add the code to your theme’s functions.php file, or wherever you keep code snippets. Just make sure you back up your files and practice safe coding.

I’ve put together an example of how to add the button on Github–this will add the button to your list of button options in the admin, plus set up the brand color, icon, and URL.

Looks good thanks!
Only 1 minor issue, I have the Font Awesome icons unchecked but the Pocket button was still trying to use the icon (which lead to a broken icon).
So I just deleted the icon line from the code.

Hoping this makes in into a new version of your plugin!

Thank you for letting me know about that–I’ll look into it. The plugin should not try to add the icon if you aren’t using them. Glad to know it worked!

Ryan, I just wanted to let you know that I have decided to add Pocket to the default list of available networks in the next release. Your code should be fine to leave if you want to, or when the new version is out you can delete it and use the plugin settings. The Github develop branch of the plugin has the new buttons if you want to try it out. I’m hoping to finish testing and release this week.
