How would I add FB Like and Share buttons to each post? Do you have a favorite plugin?

This is probably the most complete plugin out there: https://wordpress.org/plugins/shareaholic/

It has options which will automatically add your desired buttons inside GP.

Thanks!

Hi, I've been using Generate Press + the added color plugin. Love it. I added in shareaholic which works great too. The issue I'm having is when I share to Facebook or Twitter the image doesn't come with it. Also when I copy/paste the url into FB it shortens the post url to the main blog url. I tried adding a featured image to one post and that worked, but on my last post that didn't help.

Trouble shooting on FB developers gave me this error:
The 'og:type' property is required, but not present.

Any ideas on how to fix?

Thanks so much for a great theme.

Hi there,

A plugin like this should help: https://wordpress.org/plugins/wonderm00ns-simple-facebook-open-graph-tags/

It will set all the necessary og tags :)
