I want to use a third party social sharing service instead of the default like button from Facebook and other social networks that are in the "Sharing" section settings.

As far as I understand, I can use the "Intro text" field for this, right?



I'm currently trying to disable all the buttons that are in your social sharing settings so that the third party social sharing service that I want to display in articles on my website will be displayed there.

We haven't done that before but theoretically you can. We just take whatever the text is in there and put it inside a div. However, I'm not sure if we still display that field if you turn off all the other buttons, but I'd say try it?

I put the social sharing service code in this field, then clicked "Apply changes" and this code is not saved in this field (probably there is a filter for code tags).

 

I also found that the Facebook like button does not load on my website and in the HTML view of the page I did not find the code for the Facebook like button when I enabled this option.

none of the social sharing buttons load with these settings on my website:

 

I didn't enable these options before and this time I decided to check if they work and they don't.
