Individually shareable text boxes WITHIN single post

    Ok I’ve been trying to figure this out for a while so hopefully someone can shed some light on this. I’m sure there must be a feasible solution?

    I’m using thrive Minus FYI

    What I’m trying to do is creating a post with a list of ~10 text boxes, in which each of the individual 10 boxes needs to be shareable on Fb, Twitter etc SEPARATELY

    The purpose is having a list of 10 jokes on my blog post People will need to be able to share the SINGLE joke contained in that box ONLY. I use social warfare and I’ve tried adding the buttons right below each text box, but it still shares the entire page.
    I guess I’d need something similar to what you see on BrainyQuote.com ,but more as a list. Also it needs to be added to a single blog post.
    I’ve tried the plugin highlight and share, but it’s not quite what I need, plus facebook doesn’t pick up the selected text for some reason.
    It could work if there was a way to share individual images within a post, as in this way I could save text as image, and people could share it this way.

    Any help would be really appreciated.

    Thanks!

    The standard share buttons have to share a URL, not a portion of the page. Off the top of my head, this *might* work:

    1. Create a custom post type of “joke”.
    2. Using something like Advanced Custom Fields’ “related posts” tool, associate jokes with posts.
    3. For each related joke, embed the custom post (via the_content()) in the main post.
    4. Use a sharing plugin like Jetpack that uses a filter on the_content() to make the share buttons, as they’ll be associated with the joke post, not the containing post.

    Thanks Steve for your reply

    Just to clarify, I do want the social buttons for each joke to share the url of the main post, but picking up the text and/or image from the single joke ONLY in the social card.

    Not sure if this makes sense.

    in other words, when people will share the joke on social media, they will see on social media the card with image and description for the single element, but the url will point to the full page.

    I guess what I would need is something like customizable social cards that could be linked to specific social media buttons to display on the page.

    Thanks
