Social Share

In this setting section, you can find social network sharing options. wpForo allows sharing almost all forum content (forums, topics, posts individually). The share button style and location is very flexible. There are a lot of options to set button style, type, location, etc… This is a board specific setting page, if you have more than one board then you can find these settings under each dashboard menu of forum boards. For example, if you’ve created two forum boards “EN Forum” and “FR Forum”, then you’ll find the Social Share settings of each board in the corresponding menu:

• Single Board Forum:
  • Dashboard > wpForo > Settings > Social Share
    
• Multi-Boards Forum:
  • Dashboard > EN Forum > Settings > Social Share
    
  • Dashboard > FR Forum > Settings > Social Share
