Canvas Docs

Post Share

Displays social sharing links for the current post with configurable networks, style, and size. It is shown in the block inserter as Post Share and registered as canvas-core/post-share.

Select the block on a page and its own settings open in the sidebar, in the panels below:

The Post Share settings in the block editor sidebar

Settings

Each setting is named exactly as the block editor names it, followed by what it does and what it starts as. Where a setting carries a Shown when line, it stays hidden until that condition is met, which is the usual reason a setting looks missing from the sidebar:

Settings

    Comma-separated list of networks to show. Supported: facebook, twitter, linkedin, pinterest, whatsapp, rss, email, copy_link. Leave blank to follow Theme Options → Blog → Single → Share Networks.

  • Open in New TabDefaultOn

    Sharing links leave the site, so they open in a new tab by default. Off keeps them in the current one.

  • StyleDefaultDefault (Colored)

    How the share icons are drawn: filled brand buttons, bare glyphs that sit in a line of text, or a labelled rail that names what it is for.
