Code Injection is only available on certain higher-tier Squarespace plans (not on Personal\/Basic). If your plan doesn\u2019t include Code Injection\u2014or the panel is locked in <strong>Settings \u2192 Advanced \u2192 Code Injection<\/strong>\u2014you won\u2019t be able to install ShareThis on that site.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stcustom-staccordion st-accordion-item commonissues-accordion\"><a><strong>Why don\u2019t my ShareThis buttons show up on my Squarespace site?<\/strong><\/a><div class=\"st-accordion-content\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>First, confirm that your ShareThis <strong>head code<\/strong> is correctly pasted into <strong>Settings \u2192 Advanced \u2192 Code Injection \u2192 Header<\/strong> and that you clicked <strong>Save<\/strong>. Then check that the app you want (for example, Inline Share Buttons or Follow Buttons) is enabled in the ShareThis Platform and that any required <strong>placement code<\/strong> has been added to your page or blog post. Clearing your browser cache or testing in an incognito window can also help.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stcustom-staccordion st-accordion-item commonissues-accordion\"><a><strong>Can I customize how ShareThis buttons look on Squarespace?<\/strong><\/a><div class=\"st-accordion-content\">\n<p>Yes. Design and behavior are controlled in the ShareThis Platform, not in Squarespace. From the Platform, you can choose between Smart or manual network selection, adjust button size, shape, and colors, change alignment, and toggle features like share counts. Once you save your changes there, the updated design will automatically apply to your Squarespace site.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-stcustom-staccordion st-accordion-item commonissues-accordion\"><a><strong>Can I add ShareThis buttons only to specific pages or blog posts?<\/strong><\/a><div class=\"st-accordion-content\">\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>Yes. For inline tools, you can add the placement code only where you want the buttons to appear\u2014for example, in a Code Block on a specific page, or in <strong>Blog Post Item Code Injection<\/strong> for a particular collection. This lets you control exactly where your share or follow buttons are shown.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You may also find these guides helpful:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list is-style-styled\">\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sharethis.com\/support\/installation\/share-buttons-html-website\/\">Getting Started: How to Install ShareThis tools (HTML Websites)<\/a>:<\/strong> Learn the basics of installing ShareThis tools on any HTML website in our general installation guide.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sharethis.com\/support\/customization\/customize-sticky-share-button-urls\/\">How to Customize Sticky Share Buttons<\/a><\/strong> or <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sharethis.com\/support\/customization\/customize-share-urls\/\">How to Customize Inline Share Buttons<\/a><\/strong>: Step-by-step instructions customize the title, description, image, or URL that\u2019s displayed when visitors click your Share Buttons.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/sharethis.com\/support\/faq\/faqs\/\">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)<\/a>:<\/strong> Get answer to the most popular questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ShareThis makes it easy to install social share, follow, reaction, and more website tools on your Squarespace site so visitors can quickly share and engage with your content.
