Come aggiungere i pulsanti di condivisione come add-on ai video di YouTube in WordPress

I video sono uno dei modi migliori per aumentare il coinvolgimento degli utenti. Recentemente un nostro utente ci ha chiesto un modo per creare overlay di pulsanti di condivisione sui video, in modo simile al popolare sito UpWorthy. In questo articolo vi mostreremo come aggiungere pulsanti di condivisione come overlay sui video di YouTube in WordPress.

Un esempio di come potrebbe apparire:

How to Add Share Buttons as Overlay on YouTube Videos in WordPress

Aggiunta di pulsanti di condivisione come overlay sui video di YouTube

Esistono diversi modi per farlo. La maggior parte di essi richiede di incollare un po’ di codice HTML ogni volta che si aggiunge un video. Invece di farlo, abbiamo deciso di creare uno shortcode che automatizzasse l’effetto overlay.

È sufficiente copiare e incollare il seguente codice in un plugin specifico del sito o nel file functions.php del tema:


/// WPBeginner's YouTube Share Overlay Buttons

function wpb_yt_buttons($atts) { 

// Get the video ID from shortcode
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
	'video' => ''
	), $atts ) );

// Display video
	
$string = '<div id="video-container"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/' . $video . '" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe>';

// Add Facebook share button
	
$string .= '<ul class="share-video-overlay" id="share-video-overlay"><li class="facebook" id="facebook"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutube.com/watch%3Fv%3D'. $video .'" target="_blank">
 Facebook</a></li>';	

// Add Tweet button 
$string .= '<li class="twitter" id="twitter"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/share?&text=Check+this+video&amp;url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D'. $video .'">Tweet</a></li></ul>';

// Close video container    
	$string .= '</div>';

// Return output	
	return $string; 

} 
// Add Shortcode 
add_shortcode('wpb-yt', 'wpb_yt_buttons');

Questo codice crea uno shortcode che aggiunge automaticamente ai video i link per la condivisione su Twitter e Facebook. Questi pulsanti sono visibili solo quando l’utente passa con il mouse sul video. È possibile utilizzarlo per aggiungere qualsiasi altro canale di media.

Per utilizzare questo shortcode, è sufficiente aggiungere l’ID del video di YouTube nello shortcode in questo modo:

[wpb-yt video="qzOOy1tWBCg"]

È possibile ottenere l’ID del video di YouTube dalla stringa dell’URL. In questo modo:

Finding the YouTube Video ID

Ora, quando si add-on un video, sarà possibile vedere il video di YouTube e i colleghi di testo per condividere il video su Facebook o Twitter. Si noterà che questi colleghi non hanno alcuno stile.

Quindi, cerchiamo di creare dei pulsanti per questi colleghi, in modo che abbiano un aspetto più gradevole. Inoltre, nasconderemo questi pulsanti e li faremo apparire solo quando l’utente passa il mouse sul contenitore del video. Per fare ciò, aggiungere il seguente CSS al foglio di stile del tema child.


#share-video-overlay {
position: relative;
right: 40px;
top: -190px;
list-style-type: none;
display: block;
opacity: 0;
filter: alpha(opacity=0);
-webkit-transition: opacity .4s, top .25s;
-moz-transition: opacity .4s, top .25s;
-o-transition: opacity .4s, top .25s;
transition: opacity .4s, top .25s;
z-index: 500;
}

#share-video-overlay:hover { 
opacity:1;
filter:alpha(opacity=100);
}

.share-video-overlay  li { 
margin: 5px 0px 5px 0px;

}
#facebook {
color: #ffffff;
background-color: #3e5ea1;
width: 70px;
padding: 5px;
}

.facebook a:link, .facebook a:active, .facebook a:visited { 
color:#fff;
text-decoration:none;
} 

#twitter { 
background-color:#00a6d4;
width: 70px;
padding: 5px;
} 

.twitter a, .twitter a:link, .twitter a:active, .twitter a:visited, .twitter a:hover { 
color:#FFF;
text-decoration:none;
}

Questo è tutto. Ora dovreste avere i pulsanti di condivisione in overlay sui vostri video di YouTube in WordPress.

Aggiunta dei pulsanti di condivisione come overlay per le playlist di video di YouTube in WordPress

Dopo la pubblicazione di questo articolo, molti dei nostri lettori ci hanno chiesto come modificare questo codice per farlo funzionare anche per le playlist di YouTube oltre che per i video. Se sul vostro sito WordPress avete oggetto incorporato sia video che playlist di YouTube, allora dovreste usare questo codice.

/*
* WPBeginner's Share Overlay Buttons
* on YouTube Videos and Playlists
*/

function wpb_yt_buttons($atts) { 

// Get the video and playlist ids from shortcode

extract( shortcode_atts( array(
	'video' => '',
	'playlist' => '',
		), $atts ) );
			
// Check to see if a playlist id is provided with shortcode			
			
	if (!$playlist == '' ) :	

// Display video playlist
		
	$string = '<div id="video-container"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/' . $video . '?list=' . $playlist . '" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe>';

// Add Facebook button		
	$string .= '<ul class="share-video-overlay" id="share-video-overlay"><li class="facebook" id="facebook"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutube.com/watch%3Fv%3D'. $video . '%26list%3D' . $playlist . '" target="_blank">Facebook</a></li>';	

// Add Twitter button 
	$string .= '<li class="twitter" id="twitter"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/share?&text=Check+this+video&amp;url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D'. $video . '%26list%3D' . $playlist . '">Tweet</a></li></ul>';

// Close video container    
	$string .= '</div>';
		
// If no playlist ID is provided 
	else : 

//Display video		
	$string .= '<div id="video-container"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/' . $video . '" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe>';

// Add Facebook button		
	$string .= '<ul class="share-video-overlay" id="share-video-overlay"><li class="facebook" id="facebook"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutube.com/watch%3Fv%3D'. $video .'" target="_blank">
 Facebook</a></li>';
 
// Add Twitter button			
	$string .= '<li class="twitter" id="twitter"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/share?&text=Check+this+video&amp;url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3D'. $video .'">Tweet</a></li></ul>';

	// Close video container   
		$string .= '</div>';
		
	endif;
		
// Return output		
	return $string; 
} 

// Add shortcode
add_shortcode('wpb-yt', 'wpb_yt_buttons');

Utilizzando il codice sopra riportato è possibile aggiungere una playlist con pulsanti di condivisione in overlay. Per visualizzare la playlist, dovrete fornire l’ID del video e l’ID della playlist nello shortcode in questo modo:

[wpb-yt video="exP9N3rIfV0" playlist="UUhA624rCabHAmd6lpkLOw7A"]

È possibile ottenere gli ID del video e della playlist visitando la playlist su YouTube e copiando l’ID della lista dall’URL, in questo modo:

Getting YouTube Video and Playlist ID from URL

Aggiunta del collega di WordPress nel pulsante di condivisione in overlay sui video di YouTube

Dopo la pubblicazione di questo articolo, alcuni utenti ci hanno chiesto se volevano che i pulsanti di condivisione condividessero il link dell’articolo di WordPress invece del collega del video di YouTube. Per farlo, è necessario sostituire l’URL del video nei pulsanti di condivisione con il permalink dell’articolo di WordPress. Utilizzate questo codice nel vostro functions.php o nel plugin specifico del sito:

/// WPBeginner's YouTube Share Overlay Buttons

function wpb_yt_buttons($atts) { 

// Get the video ID from shortcode
extract( shortcode_atts( array(
	'video' => ''
	), $atts ) );

// Display video
	
$string = '<div id="video-container"><iframe src="//www.youtube.com/embed/' . $video . '" height="315" width="560" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0"></iframe>';

// Get post permalink and encode URL

$permalink_encoded = urlencode(get_permalink()); 

// Add Facebook share button
	
$string .= '<ul class="share-video-overlay" id="share-video-overlay"><li class="facebook" id="facebook"><a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u='. $permalink_encoded .'" target="_blank">
 Facebook</a></li>';	

// Add Tweet button 
$string .= '<li class="twitter" id="twitter"><a href="http://www.twitter.com/share?&text=Check+this+video&amp;url='. $permalink_encoded .'">Tweet</a></li></ul>';

// Close video container    
	$string .= '</div>';

// Return output	
	return $string; 

} 
// Add Shortcode 
add_shortcode('wpb-yt', 'wpb_yt_buttons');

Sentitevi liberi di modificare il CSS o gli shortcode per soddisfare le vostre esigenze. Per ottimizzare ulteriormente i video, è possibile renderli responsive utilizzando il plugin FitVids jQuery. Potete anche disattivare i video correlati che appaiono alla fine del video o creare immagini in evidenza dalle miniature dei video di YouTube.

Speriamo che questo articolo vi abbia aiutato ad add-on i pulsanti di condivisione personalizzati sui video di YouTube in WordPress. Fateci sapere quali canali di media avete intenzione di add-on sui vostri video lasciando un commento qui sotto.

    considering this is six years later I’m not really expecting a reply but, on the last shortcode you say to put in the wordpress url instead of the youtube but you don’t say what that code is or where to put it. Can you please keep in mind that very new beginners aren’t just going to know how to do this?

    • WPBeginner Support

      Apologies for any confusion, we will be sure to endeavor to improve our wording in the future to make this more clear

    “Most ways would require you to paste a bits of HTML code every time you add a video”

    I’d like to learn this way…. how is it done?

    Thanks

  3. Martin Dekker

    I’m after a different still image from a youtube video that I have on my site. The one the owner of the video has I don’t like and I’ve heard you can pick a image from the video time line to become your still image ones video ends. Since its not my video I need to beable to do this in the embed iframe code.

    Is this possible and if so could you give me the code. Thank you

  4. Tizy

    Hello,
    this is an incredible tutorial. It’s possible to show share button at the end of the youtube video and how? Thanks in advance for your help.

  5. WPBeginner Staff

    Dave, we updated the article to include a method that will share your post link instead of youtube video. Follow the instructions in the section “Adding WordPress Post Link in Share Button Overlay on YouTube Videos”.

    • Dave

      I was going to go back and edit my comment because I had a “D’oh” moment and noticeed I never activated the site plugin. I wasn’t able to edit because my comment needed to be approved.

      When I did activate it my facebook and twitter share options didn’t overlay the video. They were below the video.

      I don’t know, maybe I did something wrong in the process.

      I like your site and will continue to come back for more great articles.

  6. Christenger

    This is a great solution, but I have a weird problem. Some IDs works but others not.

    For example, this ID works for me [wpb-yt video=”7vJdBec_B6A”] but this other not [wpb-yt video=”CYveDEem5VA”]

  7. Rednasil

    Hi guys, thanks for the tutorial.. I got this working in no time on my site.

    But I’m using Yoast’s video seo plugin, and I noticed that it’s not recognizing youtube videos embedded with the shortcode.

    Is there a way to make this happen? Perhaps a work-around where you don’t need to use shortcodes??

      • Rednasil

        Thanks, I hope you guys can come up with a solution for this.

  8. Mat

    Hi everybody,

    How can I add “Share Buttons as Overlay on YouTube Videos” with a Youtube embed inside the Revolution Slider?
    In which php and css files should I paste the codes?

    Thank your help is very appreciated!!

  9. Jay

    Hey there — really appreciate the post.

    I’m trying to modify the functions.php snippet so the share/tweet buttons will refer to my site instead of the youtube.com site. Unfortunately I’m having all sorts of problems. Can you help or point me to somewhere that can help?? I’ve been messing with it for an hour with no progress.

    Really glad you posted this. Its incredibly useful!!

    • WPBeginner Support

      Jay, we have updated the post and added a new snippet which shares the post link instead of youtube video. Hope this helps.

    Please when i click on the link does not work. the buttons show up but when you click on it nothing happens

  11. Farhan Shah

    It is awesome and descriptive.

    Farhan Shah

  12. Patrycja

    Does it work with all the themes? Like Jarvis theme? I couldn’t make it work.. :(

    • WPBeginner Support

      You will probably need adjusting CSS. We can’t be sure about this working with all themes as there are thousands of themes.

      Admin

  13. Martin

    I have created this plugin now 27 times and still it doesnt work at all! I really need this function, could you please explain this again and step by step. Please avoid to start with “just do..” because I am a real newbie and when I sit here I dont know anything.. I have already followed your functions.php tutorial and my site crashed completely. I under stand you are offering a great support here, awesome! Thumbs Up!! Super!!! But please understand that this is really frustrating to create and follow steps so many times and no result. This plugin does not appear in my wp install at all.

    • Martin

      “just copy it in functions.php..” you know, where in functions.php?? on top where it starts with 1 or on the bottom where there are numbers 300 and so forth?? or in the middle somewhere? Thank you <3

      • Martin

        sure, no problem to install plugins. I have also fixed this myself in the end, but the result was just so so, its not looking very neat tbh. So I deleted it again. I was searching for other solutions but they dont seem to exist, everything is related to “making money” or “locking content” .. why would anyone like a page for locking it up? I really need this plugin and I don’t have any money to hire people. Please offer me some support via email, you could explain to me how I can style the whole thing so it looks better. Please Please Please! I would really appreciate this. Thank you <3

    • Patrycja

      The same here. I tried just adding it to functions.php, then with site-specific plugin. Nothing. Nada. And I really would love it to work. Does it work on all themes?

  14. Skip

    Awesome code which I’ve adapted and implemented on a test page including Google+ too. I know the thrust isn’t CSS but just wanted to make the point that I think opacity 0 is a really bad idea as more and more browsing is done on touchscreen where there is no hover event and the buttons would never be seen. I would either forget opacity effects altogether or set an initial opacity at 0.5 or use media queries to target different devices with individual opacity settings.

  15. Jason Gooljar

    Can this be done with the IMG attribute as well?

  16. Pam Simmons

    This is very helpful. It appears that the share buttons in this example actually share the YouTube video link, rather than the page containing the embeded video like the UpWorthy button overlays do. How would one alter the code to grab the page permalink rather than the youtube link?

    • Dave

      I just wasted 30 minutes of my life. I did everything the tutorial said to do and it just showed a short code on my post. But even if it did work, according to the comment I am replying to, it would have driven traffic to youtube and not my site. :-(

  17. Madeline

    Thank you. I’m excited to try this out and let you the results.

  18. Manish Misra

    It’s really good and help us to my work….

  19. Chris

    This is good. What about using a playlist ID in the short code?

    Most people use static videos on posts but on home pages we use playlists.

    How could this code be modified to add the share buttons over playlist videos?

    I.e. to work with the YouTube Channel Gallery plugin.

    BTW – UNDER the code your text says this: “The following code creates a shortcode that automatically adds twitter and facebook buttons to your videos.”

    Shouldn’t that say “…PRECEDING code…”?

  20. Krish Murali Eswar

    Nice one. I am generally averse to changing anything at the code level. This seems like a straightforward plugin candidate. Are you sure there is no plugin?

  21. May

    This looks great. Could you give a very simple step by step instruction on how to install it – perhaps on YouTube?

  22. Steven

    Great article!

    How do you add this shortcode now to the html shortcode editor that appears on the tinymce bar?

  23. Steve Wharton

    Pretty cool code. Looking forward to playing around with it, and adding to my new site. Thanks!

  24. Tom Horn

    Is there a way to utilize a plugin to add this code so we don’t screw things up if we’re not use to working under the hood? Thanks for this, I have seen things like this before and really wanted to know how to do it.

  25. Pam Blizzard

    Thank you for sharing this, is an elegant solution.
    Do you think it might work for YouTube Playlists as well, with the “PLxxxetc” syntax?

    • WPBeginner Support

      Basically you can modify the shortcode to output any kind of embed and then use CSS to position share buttons on that embed. So yes, it should work.

      Admin

  26. Steven Jacobs

    Would there be any way to do this with SoundCloud players as well?

    Great article by the way.

    • WPBeginner Support

      Yes it should work with soundcloud embeds, but you will have to add them in the shortcode and then use css for proper positioning.

      Admin

  27. Zimbrul

    This is quite a cool thing to do on your Youtube videos: sharing buttons. I also like those floating buttons on images added by FooBox

  28. Pam

    This is awesome, thank you!
    Do you think it could be adjusted to work with playlists as well as individual videos?
