Vertical "floating" social media buttons

[vcolfari]

I installed a plugin to display social media buttons vertically and floating next to my blog posts. The plugin is "addtoany" and you can see an example of what I'm trying to achieve on this page:

https://www.addtoany.com/buttons/customize/floating_share_buttons

Their social media buttons are vertical and they float alongside the main content instead of being flush with the left side of the screen. It seems that there are instructions provided on that page to achieve this, perhaps here: ("The following example displays a vertical share bar that is fixed relative to a parent element..."), but I can't seem to get it to work for me. I thought maybe it was because ""example_parent_element"" needed to be changed to fit with the CSS in my theme, but I may be way off base.

Any suggestions? Thank you!

Hmm. It's strange a plugin would make you add code like this.

The div with class "example_parent_element" doesn't look like it needs to be added because it's just an example parent element. You need to add the rest of the HTML to the appropriate container, probably "site-inner". You also need to make sure the Javascript file is being added correctly.

How are you adding the code it provides? Please share the complete code, including which hook you're using.

I think you'll find AddThis is a better solution.

All you need to do is hook in the class using any Genesis hook.

No need for a plugin.
