Whatsapp Sharing Failed! Please try again

[bonirulzz]

Hi Authors,

Thanks a ton for the script.

I've implemented the script and followed the installation steps mentioned by you. Additionally, I've reviewed the FAQ.

I am unable to find a solution, hence reaching out to you.

I've installed the button in the link mentioned above. When i try to click the button it shows - sharing failed. Try after some time! I am not sure what's the issue? Can you help?

Thanks a ton in advance Boni

The crBtn() method doesn't run in your example. So the a tag isn't replaced with an iframe and the data attributes are not added to the url scheme. I guess the code doesn't fire because of the massive amount of js-errors on your page. (Check the console, I've counted 71 on Firefox) As a hotfix you can try to run theWaShBtn.crBtn(); after the page is loaded, but you should probably fix all the other errors.

Noone can help you without code to look at. Read this first: https://github.com/kriskbx/whatsapp-sharing/blob/master/ISSUES.md

I also get this issue. No console errors, if I type WASHAREBTN in console, it seems to be working

From my PC I get:

WASHAREBTN {isIos: false, cntLdd: function, addStyling: function, setButtonAttributes: function, setIframeAttributes: function…}

However, when I click on the whatsapp sharing icon on mobile, on Android I get a sharing failed message, while on iOs it opens Whatsapp, I select a recipient, but no link is shared.

Here is my code snippets https://gist.github.com/akmur/8b2d4218c99f9b40d06b

Well, @akmur you removed all the css-classes and applied your own... The original classes are needed for the JavaScript part to select the button elements. This is the original code you've got to use: <a href="whatsapp://send" data-text="Take a look at this awesome website:" data-href="" class="wa_btn wa_btn_s" style="display:none">Share</a> You also removed style="display:none" which ensures that the button won't be displayed by default. On a device that supports WhatsApp the JavaScript will display it again.

As I said here - and this is important though - the library was not made for heavy modifications. If you want to use your own styling feel free to research/fork/clone the code and build your own button upon it.

Many thanks for your reply, I thought classes were just for styling purpose it seems to work now
