How to Implement the Social Share for Blockquote Code:

Implementing this feature involves updating your WordPress theme’s files. To ensure that your changes are not lost during theme updates, it’s recommended to use a child theme. If you don’t already have a child theme set up, you’ll need to create one first.

For Generatepress Users:

1. Adding PHP Code:

• Access your GeneratePress child theme files (Appearance > Theme Editor).
• Open the functions.php file and paste the PHP code from the downladed file for the Social Share for Blockquote feature at the end of the file.
• Click ‘Update File’ to save your changes.

2. Adding CSS:

• Still in the Theme Editor, open the style.css file of your child theme.
• Add the CSS code for styling the blockquote, copy button, and social share buttons.
• Save the changes by clicking ‘Update File’.

3. Injecting JavaScript: GeneratePress allows you to inject JavaScript directly using Hooks without editing theme files:

• In your WordPress dashboard, go to ‘Appearance’ > ‘GeneratePress’ > ‘Elements’.
• Click ‘Add New Element’ and select ‘Hook’. Name it as per your choice.
• In the Hook field, select wp_footer to inject your JavaScript in the footer.
• Paste your JavaScript code into the text box.
• Set display rules if necessary, to control where the script is loaded.
• Publish the Hook.

4. Testing:

• Visit a post or a page with a blockquote to ensure the functionality is working correctly.
• The copy and share buttons should appear, and the JavaScript functionality should be active.
• Check responsiveness and appearance on various devices.

Important Tips:

• Always back up your site before making changes.
• Use the child theme to ensure customizations are not lost during parent theme updates.
• Clear any caching plugins or browser cache after making changes.

For Other Theme Users:

1. Add the PHP Code:
   • Edit the functions.php file in your child theme.
   • Add the PHP code for the Social Share for Blockquote feature at the end of the file.
2. Add JavaScript for Interactivity:
   • If your child theme doesn’t have a JavaScript file, create one (e.g., script.js).
   • Add the JavaScript code for the copy and social share functionalities.
   • Enqueue this script in your child theme’s functions.php file:

function child_theme_scripts() {
wp_enqueue_script(‘child-theme-script’, get_stylesheet_directory_uri() . ‘/script.js’, array(), false, true);
}
add_action(‘wp_enqueue_scripts’, ‘child_theme_scripts’); 

3. Update the CSS:

1. • Edit the style.css file in your child theme.
   • Add the CSS code for styling the blockquote, copy button, and social share buttons.

4. Test the Feature:

• Visit a post or a page with a blockquote to test the new functionality.
• Ensure that the copy and share buttons appear and function as expected.
• Check the layout on different devices for responsiveness.

By following these steps and using a child theme, your customizations will be preserved even when the parent theme is updated.
