how to position a vertical floating share buttons bar relative to content?

Hi David, you’ll want support for your theme based on those directions, because themes can be wildly different and sometime have preferred ways for doing this kind of thing.

Hi,
Can you provide it in the package? or provide an example on how to make the change in the default theme such as “Twenty Fifteen”? so people can figure it out in their own theme similarly. Otherwise, it would be difficult to make the change.
Thanks

In the Twenty Fifteen theme, the parent element you would want is div#primary on line 19 of twentyfifteen’s index.php file.

Example placement in that file:

<div id="primary" class="content-area">

	<?php if ( function_exists( 'ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_FLOATING' ) ) {
		ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_FLOATING( array(
			'kit_style' => 'margin-left:-10px; top:150px;',
			'vertical_type' => true,
		) );
	} ?>

	<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">

Hi,
I tried it and it does not works. below are what I did.
1. activate the twentyfifteen theme.
2. go to control panel ==> appearance=> editor => edit the file index.php.
3. copy and paste the following
<?php if ( function_exists( ‘ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_FLOATING’ ) ) {
ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_FLOATING( array(
‘kit_style’ => ‘margin-left:-10px; top:150px;’,
‘vertical_type’ => true,
) );
} ?>

into the place.
4. refresh the home page, I found that it does not work
5. I view the page resource and find that there is nothing added below the <div id=”primary” …>

Please try on your end to verify this solution is working for not. if possible, please send me the generated HTML source code, I may just directly add it as a short cut. but I would prefer that I can add the <?php ..?> code which provides the protection.

Thanks

It’s verified to work as long as the plugin is activated. Make sure that your changes to index.php are changing your homepage, and that a cache isn’t getting in the way.

Hi, I double checked and I did add it in the index.php file, but somehow it does not show up. I tried in the local machine, so there is no cache, would like mind just post the code this script generate? I will directly copy and paste to the index.php file as a shortcut.

Thanks

Odd that it doesn’t show for you.

Here’s the general HTML code you can use alongside the plugin:

<div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 a2a_floating_style a2a_vertical_style" style="margin-left:-10px; top:150px;">
	<a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a>
	<a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a>
	<a class="a2a_button_google_plus"></a>
	<a class="a2a_dd addtoany_share_save"></a>
</div>
