A friend and I managed it to work by ourselves.
Thank you Anyway.

What you will need:

Plugins:
Cresta Social Share Counter
Bot?o de compartilhamento do WhatsApp para Jetpack
Jetpack por WordPress.com (You may or may not need it)

Step 1:

Activate and configure all plugins and allow Jetpack to use your www.ads-software.com account, Yes you need to have a www.ads-software.com account.

Step 2:

Edit the core of the file named cresta-social-share-counter.php using the tab Editor under Plugin.

add the following line inside the code_goes_here’> tag to one of the share services you’d like to replace, In my case I chose Pinterest.

href=”‘. (get_permalink( $post->ID )) .’&share=whatsapp&nb=1“

Hello,

I also run a nonprofit, and I like these little challenges as well…

@guilhermenocera, thank you for your efforts. I sacrificed the LinkedIn button for WhatsApp, and noticed that there are two places in the file where you will need to change the URL. The second begins at line 437.

And on top of it all, I also styled the button, this is the CSS code:

.c-icon-cresta-linkedin:before {content: '\e803';}
.cresta-share-icon i.c-icon-cresta-linkedin {background: #43d854;}
.cresta-share-icon i.c-icon-cresta-linkedin:hover {color: #43d854; border: 2px solid #43d854!important; background: #ffffff;}

Have a look.

@rizzo, I hope you do not take this as an offense. I really appreciate CSSR, and if this is important to you, I will buy the PRO license. I actually really do my work for free (for that, I’m on welfare here in Germany), but I do not want to hurt you.

Hi Manuel Fritsch,
don’t worry, I like when users are able to customize my projects ??

Hey,

that’s great, thank you!
The button did not work at first. It seems that the link

href="'. (get_permalink( $post->ID )) .'&share=whatsapp&nb=1"

is outdated. So I built this rather sophisticated version:

href="whatsapp://send?text=Have%20a%20look:%0A'. (get_the_title ( $post->ID )) .'%0A'. (get_permalink( $post->ID )) .'"

…which looks like this:

Have a look:
THE TITLE
THE URL

Best,
Manuel

Yes, in this way it should work fine ??

@guilhermenocera, the CSS seems not to work any more; the button is gone on my site. However, I cannot say whether this is due to Jetpack or CSSR, since both had an update this morning, and I ran them both in one go… I only presume it was for Jetpack.
Is the WhatsApp button still working on your site?
