Please check: Social Share Component

Also, on Android we default to the OS share dialog which includes Whatsapp if installed.

Hey thank you so much for quick reply I will check this out,so all I do is install the plugin?

Yes, and no :slight_smile:

This is a Theme Component, not a plugin - you can read about the Themes in the new guide: Beginner's guide to using Discourse themes

It is easier to incorporate into your site

Yes you can. If you add it as a theme component to your current active theme.

Update manage to add the whatsapp link and it works a treat thanks! so easy to do just one issue… when I click on the share button the popup share box appears way down the page and not around the Share Link icon, I have attached a screenshot.

share%20block%20issue

I managed to find the CSS and move the position of the sharebox but the problem is if you scroll down or have a long topic and then click on the share link, the share popup box does not display in the current screen view but up top 265px from the top of the page not the page position.

I believe that is because the javascript calculates the position so I am wondering where I can amend this

Thanks
