Few months ago, Facebook removed the page that allow us to generate codes for their official “Share” button. They replaced it with “Like” button instead. While “Like” button is fast and easy but we cannot add our comment along with the “Like” action. Therefore, in some cases, we still need the old Share button. Fortunately, the sharer.php still exists, so we can add the Share button using Facebook’s official script.

Here are the complete codes for all sizes of Facebook share button for those who are interested:

Box Count

Share  *count will only visible when there is at least 1 share

Codes:

Button Count

Codes:

Custom URL?

All codes above “shares” the current page. If you want to share another page or a specific page, you need to add a “share_url” attribute to the <a> tag. You need this too when you have multiple share buttons in a single page.

Example below shares our main website http://zenverse.net instead of this page.

Here’s how:

Multiple Share Buttons

If you have multiple share buttons in a single page, you just need to include the <script> element once.

Hope this helps.
