Share a static link from any page

There are a couple of ways to share a specific URL using a WordPress widget:

1. Add the line add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode'); to your functions.php so that your widgets process shortcodes. Then use the simple AddToAny shortcode in a “Text” widget:
   [addtoany url="https://www.example.com/share-me/" title="Example Title"]
2. Use the general AddToAny HTML code (with WP-flavored class names) in a “Text” widget like:

   <div class="a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list" data-a2a-url="https://www.example.com/share-me/" data-a2a-title="Example Title">
       <a class="a2a_button_facebook"></a>
       <a class="a2a_button_twitter"></a>
       <a class="a2a_button_google_plus"></a>
       <a class="a2a_button_pinterest"></a>
       <a class="a2a_dd"></a>
   </div>

   (You can remove the spaces between the HTML tags to fix any added spacing between icons.)

Thanks for the great reply.
Do you know if there is a way to make the URL dynamic but not related to the current page.
So specifically I’m thinking about how I could make the shared URL something like
https://www.example.com/%5Banother_short_code%5D.

After a quick glance it doesn’t seem possible to have shortcodes that reference shortcodes.

Just following up, if I do something like this (from your option 2 above)

<div class=”a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_32 addtoany_list” data-a2a-url=[short_code] etc

If also doesn’t include the shortcode value.

Use PHP in your theme’s files to programmatically customize the shared URL & title, for example:

<?php if ( function_exists( 'ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_KIT' ) ) {
    ADDTOANY_SHARE_SAVE_KIT( array(
        'linkname' => 'Example Page',
        'linkurl'  => 'https://example.com/page.html',
    ) );
} ?>
