Sharing is caring, so let's make it super easy  on your website to share your content. Before we start, we need to download the Monarch plugin  from Elegant Themes. If you already have it,   you can skip this step. If you don't, just go  to the Elegant Themes website and log into your   account. If you don't have a subscription yet to  Elegant Themes, I would really advise you to do so   because the Divi theme is just perfect. If you  follow the link in the description of this video,   I can get you a 20% discount. So enjoy. If you  just login and then you scroll down in your   account. You can download Divi, you can download  the Extra theme, you can download the Bloom plugin   -which I created a awesome tutorial about it -  and of course you can get the Monarch plugin. So   press 'Download Monarch' and then you can log into  your WordPress dashboard. And if you followed my   tutorial about WordPress Security, then you notice  that you have to fill in again your authentication   code on your mobile phone. And on your dashboard  you go to 'Plugins' -> 'Add new' and we go to   'Upload Plugin'. We're going to select Monarch  right there. And then you click on 'Install Now'.   And then you click on 'Activate plugin'.  Congratulations! You've just installed Monarch   and now the fun will begin. Alright if you want  to go to the settings of Monarch you can go to   'Tools' -> 'Monarch' -> 'Settings', it's right  there. Click on it. And here you can see the   beautiful dashboard of Monarch. We have two types  of sharing options you can use social sharing,   like the little sidebar I'm going to show you and  we have social follow buttons which shows you the   exact amount of followers you have, or you can  just fill in a random number if you like. But   let's start with the social sharing options. If  you look at the little green checkmark below it,   it means that all these locations are activated on  this very moment. So we have the sidebar, in line,   pop up, flyin module and also on our media we  have the social sharing icons. So you can just   go to 'Networks'. Here we're going to configure  the networks we want to use. If you click on this   button 'Add networks' here you can select all the  networks you want to use. You can't see WhatsApp   and Telegram in this list but no worries. We'll  be adding that at the final section of this video.   So select all the networks you want to have on  your website. It really depends on the audience.   So if you have a blog, with a lot of news,  then you might want to use Gmail also. So   people can use Gmail to send out the links of your  website to other people. Just press 'Apply' right   there. And you can also change the order of your  networks by just dragging them around like this.   And then you can just change whatever you want. So  I want to put the email all the way down. I want   to put Facebook on top then LinkedIn, Twitter,  Reddit, Yahoo Mail and Gmail. And after that comes   WhatsApp and Telegram. We'll be adding that  later on. And after that, you can change the   labels of your buttons. So whatever you can say  right here, "follow me on Facebook", or you can   just use the names of your networks right there.  So let's keep just the network names. That will be   great. And on Twitter, you only need to add your  username like WPress Doctor, That is very logical.   And we press 'Save Changes'. Alright, now we go  to our sidebar settings and here you can choose   the icon styles of the sidebar. You want this  icon, when you hover over it, it really looks   beautiful with this little 3D effect and shadow  its growing right there. It's moving and with   this one its just only the shadow. I really  like this first style its great. You can use   the shape you want to have it rounded or an entire  circle, its completely up to you all works great.   And let's go to the display settings. Here you can  really change the orientation of your sidebar. Do   you want the left side of your website or on  the right side? It really depends what's on   your website on the left or right side. Let's  keep it on the left side. The intro animation,   I want it to be slide right, beautiful. I  don't want to display my share counts because;   if your website doesn't have a lot of traffic, it  doesn't seem that good that this page has never   been shared before. Or zero times or just  one time. I really don't like it. You can   use it however if you have a big blog which  has a million visitors a year for example,   then it counts as social proof. However some  people also found it to be a little bit boasting.   If you do use it however, you can actually use  a minimum count display so after 50 shares,   now you will see that it's been shared. I'm  going to turn it off because I don't really   like these kinds of things. Display total shares  - I really don't care. Here you have ' Display all   networks button' if you enable this you will get a  extra button with all the networks available. And   you can hide it on your mobile devices. I don't  think you should hide it because Monarch does a   excellent job in keeping it responsive, its really  great. If you now go down you can actually change   the background and hover colors of your icons.  And when you change it it actually looks the   same as your website itself. I'm going to show  you how it looks like right now. Just press   'Save Changes' and open up your website in a new  private window. And when I load up my website this   is what you see. This is the beautiful website I  created with my latest YouTube tutorial " How to   create a professional website" and I'm going to  show you how you can create this awesome effects   within Divi. Now we have our beautiful sharing  buttons right there on the left side and you can   even close it. So this is the sidebar function. It  really works great. All right, let's get back to   the monarch settings and configure some more. All  right, so now when I enable display all networks   button and I press 'Save Changes' and now you  see I actually have another button down there   and when I click on it you can see all the  networks available within Monarch. That is   really great. And also on mobile you get a really  nice responsive bar down there. And you can click   on 'Share this' and you get the network's we  created. It's beautiful. So let me show you   how it looks when you use your custom colors on  your branded website. Enable custom colors. Select   the background color, for example, this golden  color I use on the website and I press 'Save   Changes' . Also on hover. I also want to have  the same color but a little bit more darker. Like   this. Press 'Save changes'. So now all the icons  have a background color that I use on my website.   However, I don't like it because now it doesn't  stand out anymore, and the power of the logo   has been taken away because the colors are very  important for people to trigger it to actually   click on this button to share it within Facebook.  So I'm going to remove my custom colors and I'm   going to save it and now they are back again to  the normal colors. Alright, if we now scroll up,   let's go to the inline options. The first thing  you'll be able to change is the icon style. You   want it to do like this, this or this, I really  like this one or this one. Just choose whatever   you want. You can make them of course, again,  rectangle or rounded corners or entirely round.   It's up to you. Let's keep it this way. Our  'Display settings' when you want to have it?   I want to have it below my content. Because after  you've read something, then you want to share it.   Not before you read something I think but let's  keep it below content. Align them in center.   And the number of columns is very important.  If you only have four share options,   then this is perfect. If you have three or  five, then auto-width would be useful for   you. But if you want to have more columns,  you could also put it on for example six.   So let's keep it an auto-width. I don't want to  show my share counts because I don't like that.   Total shares, display by network names... you can  turn it on and off. Again the all network button,   and you can move remove some icon  spaces and hide on mobile devices.   This inline location is only activated on posts.  So let's go to one of my posts. And as you can see   my posts are really short and there's a links bar  that's not fully completed... but what I wanted   to show you is this on the lower side it really  works but I don't like the auto-width because   now Facebook is bigger than Twitter and Reddit is  the smallest, Yahoo Mail is the biggest. I don't   want it. So let's create a six or three columns  layout. Let's go up a bit and let's change them to   three columns. save our changes. And if and I'll  refresh this page. This is how it looks. It looks   way better. It's a little bit big. But you can of  course imagine when you have an entire post which   is really awesome to read. You can click this  button to make sharing super easy. Alright, let's   get back to the Monarch settings. So if you scroll  up, we have a couple of options. We have the   pop up. Within the op up you can change again the  icon styles and icon shapes but now you have also   a title and a message. You can change it to for  example: " Spread the word and help us to reach   the world" and the message will be "We will be  forever grateful" and if you scroll down you will   see a lot of more display settings. Of course the  icon alignments the number of columns again the   animation, but now we have a trigger after time  delay. It means after 20 seconds the pop up will   show and people can use it. You can also trigger  it after inactivity or at the bottom of the posts   or after commenting or after scrolling, I would  say a percent of your scrolling after purchasing   and of course you want to display once per session  and a session will take one day because it's very   frustrating if you get pop ups and you click  them away you don't want to and every time   they come back and back and back. That's really  frustrating. So let's just enable display once   per session once per day. Right if you now scroll  down you have of course you display share counts.   I don't like that but you can enable it for posts.  That's of course with any pumping disk or whatever   you want display all networks remove it again  and hydrogel settings and the rest is very easy.   Now I want this pop up to also show on pages. So  let's save our changes. And if I now scroll to my   page on my website when I hit 80% Or when I  hit 20 seconds, this thing will appear you go   there it is spread the word and help us to reach  the world. We will be forever grateful. As you can   see it now there is a gradient over my website  which will really focus the attention to this   box. Mark has really done a great job with this  pop up module. The next one is the flying option   and the flying is actually different from a  pop up and I will show you what happens you   also have a title and a message. This time you can  choose your location in the bottom left or bottom   right. You mentioned you have of course the time  delay after reading the after commenting after 80%   scrolling, it's exactly the same as the other  one wells possession. And I don't want to   share accounts, but this flying location is  actually pretty different from the puppet.   If I want to demonstrate this  I have to turn the other one   off because they don't work together. That's very  interesting. So you have to go to your pop up.   And let's say I don't want to use the pop up on my  pages but I do want to use the flying on my pages.   Now you can see that it works. So don't  forget that if you want to add one of them   you can use them at the same time at the same  locations. Why is that? Well let me show you.   So when I Now scroll down to a percent  or I wait 20 seconds you can see flying.   So differences with this flying as you can see  there is no gradient above my website so my   attention doesn't get old drawn to this share this  box right there. So that is the big difference.   Now when you close it don't forget to open a new  private window because my session now has been   closed for one day. I don't see this pop up. And  the last one is on media if you have media files   on your website, or you could actually share  the media within the image there you can see   all sharing icons. I don't use it on this specific  website but you can use it if you want to show the   world your portfolio for example. Alright, this  basically is for all the network locations it is   pretty easy. And then we have of course the social  follow, which is a little bit different because   here you could ask your networks and then people  can actually follow you. So if you click on Add   networks now you can see there are a lot more  options to choose from we have for Facebook,   Twitter, we have of course LinkedIn. But if  you scroll down you will also see that you have   Flickr for example, and you  have Instagram and YouTube,   which are very nice ones just add apply.  You can change the titles of the networks,   of course, and here you have to add your username.  So if I'm for example on YouTube, I would go   yes youtube.com/c/w WPress Doctor that is  the channel name and I can give it a name.   And let's fill out Did I already have 500,000  subscribers? Well, I don't that just looks great.   And then I press Save changes. And you can do  this with all these things. And let's put in some   numbers just to see how it's expressed and save  changes. And then we open links a new window now.   You also can get the real counts, and they will so  you have to enable this one gift counts via API.   But then you have to configure all the API keys of  your networks. And then you could actually use the   actual following count of your social media  platforms like LinkedIn, Twitter and YouTube. I'm   not going to show you how to get the API key of  LinkedIn or Twitter or YouTube there are a lot of   tutorials about it on the internet. So just look  for that if you want to view counts. Alright, then   we go to widgets and here you can configure your  social follow up widget which I can start I can   shape is exactly the same as we have seen within  the other settings. If you go to shortcode you   can actually change of course, everything and then  you can go down here and click Generate shortcode   This is the shortcode you can copy and paste  anywhere on your website where you want to show it   social follow bucks is a really great let's add it  right into a widget. Let's go to widgets. So let's   say I want to follow I want to be followed bucks  a my sidebar you can just add this plus button   and type in monarch or you can just scroll down,  click on it. And here it goes. It has just been   edified there and if you click on the right side,  now you can see how it actually looks on your   website, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Instagram  you can see all the followers amongst we have   just entered into the monarch seven is really  great, and it works to get you more followers.   Now there's one thing we didn't address. Well,  that is the general settings. You can configure   some other stuff like the API settings, Facebook,  Instagram API, and you can of course enter your   own custom CSS. This is only useful if you're  using API's but for now, we are very good, very   happy with our social sharing plugin Molenaar.  So guys, what I really miss Imoen on is adding   the options to share your website or you content  using WhatsApp or telegram and what did I do?   I hired a friend of mine to build it in Monaro,  it cost me almost the same as the entire Divi   license for a lifetime. But hey, this guy is very  good. So I'm going to show you how you can add it   really simple to your website. So what do we do  we go to w WPress. Doctor Duff comm slash monarch   and hit enter. And then you go to this beautiful  page where it has been not designed but it shows   you actually how it's going to look down here you  can see the two icons that we're going to add in   and the only thing I want from you is your  email. Address. So I can sometimes send you email   mostly once a month with a really awesome  new video if I created one if I don't,   I won't mail you at all.

It's well worth it because it works like a   charm and I'm going to show you so fill in your  details. W WPress doctor does GM any press Show   me and decode Thank you very much. Please follow  this link and when you click on it now you can see   the code so press CTRL A on your keyboard press  CTRL COPY, or just press the right mouse and press   press copy. And you go back to your dashboard  of your website. And then we go to diffi down   there and we go to theme options and just go to  integration.

It also   asks you to open the desktop app of telegram  and if you don't have it, then you can press   Share and then you can go to the web version of  the telegram. It really works great.
