[Resolved] Highlight text to Tweet it

[Philippe]

Hi,

To your knowledge, what the best options for my website visitors to highlight text to Tweet it. I have tried the Highlight and Share plugin but I do not like its layout. Any other possibilities that you know of, including doing a bit of coding?

Thank you,

Philippe

I have also found this: https://highlight-tweet.webflow.io/ but I would need some guidance.

Hi there,

maybe this article will help:

https://premium.wpmudev.org/blog/select-text-and-tweet/

It explains creating your own plugin and how it works. They even provide the completed plugin in a zip file at the end of the article.

Thank you, David, this plugin works better for me.

I would love to be able to put on my site the code given here: https://highlight-tweet.webflow.io/#questions.

I am stuck at “Add this custom code to your site”. Sure. Where? How?

Thanks again

Correction about both plugins that I have tried. They work the very first time and stop. In both cases, it is then impossible to highlight text. Let’s forget about them. Please, let me know about https://highlight-tweet.webflow.io/#questions

I am not sure if that is Webflow specific.
You can try adding the code to your site using a Hook Element:

Select the WP_footer hook and set the Display Rules to Entire Site or the places you want it enabled.

[Philippe]

Done. Nothing happens.

Not sure if it will help, but you could try replacing this:

$('body').tweetHighlighted({

With this:

jQuery('body').tweetHighlighted({

If not, you’ll likely need to find something WordPress-specific.

That was it. Great support from GP, as usual!

Glad we could help 🙂
