Every recipe card can show share buttons so readers can save and send your recipes. By default they sit at the bottom of the card, after the notes, so the recipe stays the focus; you can move them to the top instead (smaller, under the title). They’re round buttons with each network’s own logo and colour; hover or long-press one to see its name.
| Button | Does |
|---|---|
| Pin it | Opens Pinterest with the recipe link, photo and name filled in. First in the row, because Pinterest is where most recipe traffic comes from. |
| Opens Facebook’s share window. | |
| X | Opens a post with the recipe name and link. Off by default. |
| Opens WhatsApp with the name and link. | |
| Opens the reader’s email app with the name and link. | |
| Copy link | Copies the link and shows Link copied! |
| Share… | Appears on phones and browsers that support it, and opens the device’s own share menu (Messages, Notes, any app). |
No tracking, no cookie banner
The buttons are plain links. Nothing loads from Pinterest, Facebook or anyone else until a reader clicks one, so there’s no tracking, no slowdown and no need for cookie consent. That’s the difference from add-on services like ShareThis or AddThis.
Choosing the buttons
Recipes → Settings → Sharing — tick the networks you want, then pick a Button style:
- Round brand icons (default) — compact logo buttons.
- Brand icons with names — the logo plus the name (Pin it, Facebook…), for readers who don’t know the logos.
And a Position on the card:
- At the bottom, after the recipe (default) — under a thin line, labelled Share this recipe.
- At the top, small, under the title — compact buttons next to the Print and Cook mode buttons.
Turning them off
- Site-wide: Recipes → Settings → Show on the card → Share buttons.
- One card: the block’s Card display → Share buttons.
- Anywhere else: the Recipe Share Buttons block (a Recipe Part) shows just the buttons, e.g. at the end of a post.
Share buttons are never printed.
Which link is shared?
- With recipe pages on: the recipe’s own page.
- Otherwise: the post that shows the recipe.
The photo sent to Pinterest is the recipe image. For best results on Pinterest, use a tall or square photo.
For developers
Change networks, labels or links with the scrumptious_share_links filter, swap the icons with scrumptious_share_icons, move them per recipe with scrumptious_share_position, restyle with the .swp-share__btn--{network} classes (each sets --swp-brand), or override the parts/share.php template. Clicks fire a scrumptious:share event. See Developers.
