    While Jetpack doesn’t include such an option, you can follow the second part of this tutorial to add the buttons in any place you want:

    In your case, you could hook them to the get_the_excerpt filter, as explained here:

    Thanks for replying Jeremy!

    What would the code look like to hook them into the excerpt?
    I’m a bit new to coding/programming in wordpress.

    You could try to add the following to a functionality plugin to add sharing buttons to all excerpts. I haven’t tested that code, but it should work:

    function jeherve_add_sharing_excerpts( $excerpt ) {
    
    	// Let's build a string containing sharing buttons and likes, if they're activated.
    	$sharing = '';
    
    	if ( function_exists( 'sharing_display' ) ) {
    		$sharing .= sharing_display( '', false );
    	}
    
    	if ( class_exists( 'Jetpack_Likes' ) ) {
    		$custom_likes = new Jetpack_Likes;
    		$sharing .= $custom_likes->post_likes( '' );
    	}
    
    	// Now let's add that to the excerpts.
    	return $excerpt . $sharing;
    }
    add_filter( 'get_the_excerpt', 'jeherve_add_sharing_excerpts' );
