Social Share buttons only in post and fixed in sidebar

Hi there,
so the Liberte site uses this set-up.
1. Install the GP Social Share Plugin.
2. Create a new Hook Element:
https://docs.generatepress.com/article/hooks-element-overview/
2.1 Add code this in the Hook content:
<div class="floating-container">
[gp-social]
</div>
2.2 Select the after_entry_header hook
2.3 Check the execute shortcodes check box.
2.4 On Display Rules set Location: Posts > All Posts
2.5 Publish
3. Add this CSS:
@media (min-width: 840px) {
.floating-container {
display: block;
position: sticky !important;
position: -webkit-sticky !important;
top: 80px;
height: 0;
}
#gp-social-share {
top: 1em;
flex-direction: column;
left: -50px !important;
}
}
You may need to tweak it to suit your padding etc.
Great, David! I adjusted the left value to -150. I do love the final result. Thanks a lot for the help and the support. Keep doing the GOOD jog. Cheers
Awesome - really glad to hear that!
Hi,
Sorry to re-open this thread, but I am having some issues with this css.
It works, but it makes the text and links in the post adjacent to the sticky share buttons non-selectable and non-clickable.
It behaves as if there is a hidden layer adjacent to the social share buttons.
Please open a new topic for your question.
Thanks!
