This is achieved by adding “&popup=true” at the end of the ShareThis widget code. For example:
<script= “http://w.sharethis.com …&popup=true”></script>

You can also check the “Enable Popup” box in the widget configurator when you are generating your code.

In order to allow embedded elements to be visible, the “embeds” JavaScript element must be set to true.

This JavaScript element (embeds) defaults to false due to possible display problems where flash will sometimes display through the widget. If you set “embeds” to true but encounter problems with Flash, another alternative is to use the the “popup” JavaScript element where the ShareThis widget will instead display in a new popup window. This is done by adding “&embeds=true” to the end of the ShareThis widget code:

<script=”http://w.sharethis.com …&embeds=true”></script>

This may also be done in the Button Configurator. Under the button tab, check the box “Enable Embeds.”

The ShareThis widget is defaulted to appear at the bottom-right of the ShareThis button link. This positioning can be changed by assigning integer values to the “offsetLeft” and “offsetTop” JavaScript Elements. The integer values assigned to these JavaScript Elements are relative to the default location of the top-left corner of the ShareThis widget. For example, for the widget to appear at the bottom-left of the ShareThis button link, assign the following values within the widget code:
<script= “http://w.sharethis.com…&offsetTop=10&offsetLeft=-349″></script>

When you create your ShareThis button or configure your ShareThis WordPress plugin, you will be given the option to customize it to fit the needs and style of your site. Here are the currently customizable options:

• The button icon — you have a choice between a static ShareThis icon and a rotating gif with the ShareThis icon and several social web site icons - which is handy for indicating that you haven’t really gotten rid of all those social web buttons cluttering your site.
• Social Web sites — you can choose which social web services will be shown on your ShareThis widget.
• Colors — you can set the colors for all parts of the sharing interface.

If you are using the classic WordPress plugin, you’ll need to modify the ShareThis WordPress plugin by hand in the plugins section of your WordPress admin site, if you need to customize it. Of course, we recommend upgrading to the new ShareThis WordPress plugin.

Once you’ve added the button script on your site, you’ll have to modify that script to add or remove social web sites. The easiest way to do that is to generate a new button that has the options you want on our button configuration page and replace the script on your site with it.

These steps will also work if you are using our new ShareThis WordPress plugin. Just replace your current button code in the Options > ShareThis admin menu in WordPress.

The ShareThis button will automatically choose what to share on your web pages, but you can override those defaults if you’d like. The ShareThis API (STAPI) will help you with that task. Please browse our Developers Support Site for more information on those APIs and which one is right for your uses.
