Snippet: Change Social Share Labels/Text

Updated: February 28, 2020

This snippet shows how you could easily change the labels/text displayed for the social sharing buttons.

add_filter( 'wpex_get_social_items', function ( $items ) {
	$items['twitter']['label']   = 'custom text';
	$items['facebook']['label']  = 'custom text';
	$items['pinterest']['label'] = 'custom text';
	$items['linkedin']['label']  = 'custom text';
	$items['email']['label']     = 'custom text';
	return $items;
} );

All PHP snippets should be added via child theme's functions.php file or via a plugin (we recommend WPCode)
