Share the product image and not the site icon

by lusitanushorsesale·3 years ago·1 reply

I am trying to configure the share button so that it is possible to share the link to the product but the photo of the product appears as the cover image. Currently, what happens is that what is shared is the site icon.

Is there a way to configure it so that the product image appears?

Best Button Maker!

i tried several over time, but been working only with this plugin for several years… simply the best.

Great Plugin

by littleangell58·4 years ago

Very easy to set up beautiful buttons. Has a very helpful preview of the button and its hovered version, you can even set the same background color to the preview like you have on your site.
Easy to implement where ever the button is needed.
Buttons can be easily duplicated and adjusted for multiple buttons with the same look.
I couldn’t do it without MaxButtons!

It works!
