# Sharing Archive Pages

* Is there anyway to enable sharing an Archive Page?
Basically, posts will be
shareable only at `is_single()` so I’m looking for a way to be able to share
Posts Archive Pages at `is_home()`, `is_archive()`, `is_tag()` and so on.

* Howdy,
* While we allow individual posts to having sharing buttons on an archive page
when that is opted-in via Settings->Sharing, we do not have plans at this time
to add sharing buttons to specifically share an archive page.
* Cheers!

* Thanks for your reply Brandon, look this is my site: [http://birchalltea.co.uk](http://birchalltea.co.uk)
I really need this feature and although it’d be really cool if you were to include
this at some point and make Jetpack flexible, what I really want to know is if
there’s any way of hooking into the plugin to enable the printing of the buttons
in archive pages, even if I’d have to put together my own Open Graph meta. Also,
Im using Jetpack sharing feature for my products and the `og:type` is showing
as `article` instead of `product`, might be worth taking a look into that.

* For the `og:type`, we don’t have any code to determine what the type should be,
other than `is_singular()` should be `article`, `is_author` should be `profile`,
etc).
* You can filter our og tags to replace this as needed, e.g.
* ```
add_filter( 'jetpack_open_graph_tags', 'custom_og_type' );
function custom_og_type( $tags ) {
$tags['og:type'] = "product";
}
```
* and adding a conditional, either within the function or to fire the `add_filter`
as needed.
* Back to the original issue, we’ll still output og tags on archive pages (though
I’ve personally have had to dig into them to know if there are any notable things
about them specifically).
* Looking in `modules/sharedaddy/sharing-service.php`, I don’t think there’s a
way to hook it in as it is built now. The `sharing_display` function actually
handles the output and it is set to return early if the global `$post` variable
is empty and later in the code, it assumes there is a current post.
* If I may, what’s the particular use case for sharing archive pages? Knowing why
folks want certain features can help inform us as we look at future development.
* Cheers!

* Thanks again for coming back.
* Well, just as the Open Graph suggests with the `og:type product.group` and having
the resources to feed a Product Category – by that I mean having the `$term`‘
s name, description and image, I think that providing the ability to share an
Archive wether its Products or blog articles seems to be yet another interesting
way of engaging with our audience.
* Although not yet in practice, with the combination of these functions I’ve managed
to get my Open Graph Meta ready:
* ```
function getUrl() {
$url = isset( $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ) && 'on' === $_SERVER['HTTPS'] ? 'https' : 'http';
$url .= '://' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'];
$url .= in_array( $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'], array('80', '443') ) ? '' : ':' . $_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'];
$url .= $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
return $url;

}
}

* But even with this in my Archive Page I can’t get the buttons to be printed:
* ```
if ( function_exists( 'sharing_display' ) ) {
sharing_display( '', true );
}

* Correct. Currently, sharing display returns out early if it is the global `$POST`
isn’t set: [https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/blob/7c6700150c9ba685a3f988bcf24a9b59e2f7d4d1/modules/sharedaddy/sharing-service.php#L565-L566](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/blob/7c6700150c9ba685a3f988bcf24a9b59e2f7d4d1/modules/sharedaddy/sharing-service.php#L565-L566)
* That function would need to be rewritten to account for the possibility of being
included on archive pages (outside of individual posts, as they can be shown
as part of the excerpt or content of individual posts on an archive page), at
least.
* This is not something currently on the roadmap, but would be open to a PR.
* Cheers,
