Adding a function in functions.php
7 replies · Started by sjoerd89 on July 13, 2020
Hi everyone,
i am trying to get a function to work on my website. At the moment i use it in functions.php of my child theme. The code i use is
function wpb_linkedin_share_after($content) {
$sharecode .= '<script src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript"> lang: en_US</script>
<script type="IN/Share" data-counter="top"></script>';
$newcontent = $content . $sharecode;
return $newcontent;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'wpb_linkedin_share_after');This function makes a linkedin share button but currently shows up on every page of my website.
I would like to only show this on post pages.
Is it better to use this in GP-hooks? because there i also do not see the option for post pages.
Thanks for reading :)

Hi there,
try this:
function wpb_linkedin_share_after($content) {
if ( is_single() ) {
$sharecode .= '<script src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript"> lang: en_US</script>
<script type="IN/Share" data-counter="top"></script>';
$content .= $sharecode;
}
return $content;
}
add_filter('the_content', 'wpb_linkedin_share_after');If you wanted to add it after the content you could do it with a Hook element.
You only need this for the hook content:
<script src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js" type="text/javascript"> lang: en_US</script>
<script type="IN/Share" data-counter="top"></script>And you would select the after_content hook and use the Posts > All Posts display rule.
And you would select the after_content hook and use the Posts > All Posts display rule.
This part is a bit confusing to me sorry.
I only see execute PHP and disable Hook as options
You should see a tab called Display Rules:

In Location, you can select Posts, then a second field aside that will display which you leave set to All Posts.
-edit- found the other hooks under legacy hooks now, thanks for your help!!
I had elements turned off on my website so i never saw this option.
The code that i had in Hooks is now gone tho?
I do not see the hooks part anywhere anymore now.
I got the other part working now :)
In Appearance > Elements - at the top of the screen you will see Legacy Hooks. You should find you your old codes in there.
