## The share block in the post footer

Summary: The expanded share block at the end of a post: its heading, subtitle, copy link field, call to action text, and how to set a custom background that still reads well.
Availability: Pro only.

This settings group appears only when sharing is on and **article footer** is one of the selected placements. If you cannot find the group, that is why.

Find it at [[Verba > Theme Options > Single Post > Footer]], group **Share**.

What makes this placement different from the others: it is the only one that asks the reader to share, rather than quietly offering it. That is why it has a heading, text, and larger buttons.

## What the block contains

:::options

- **Title** (default: "Share this article"): The heading above the row. Empty removes it.

- **Subtitle**: A line under the heading. Empty removes it.

- **Copy link field** (default: on): A field with the post address and a copy button, under the network row. It is read-only, so the address cannot be broken by an accidental keystroke.

- **CTA message**: Formatted text under the block, for asking in your own words. Empty removes it.

:::

<div data-callout="note">

When the copy link field is on, the copy icon is removed from the network row. Two identical buttons a centimeter apart is duplication, not choice. If you want the icon in the row instead, turn the field off.

</div>

Strip everything out and the block is not rendered at all, rather than leaving an empty panel.

## Background and appearance

:::options

- **Background style** (default: secondary): The surface under the block. Default, secondary, accent, inverted, or custom.

- **Custom background**, **background color**, and **background image**: Shown only for the custom style.

- **On dark**: Switches the block text and buttons to their light treatment.

- **Padding**: The block inner spacing, set separately for desktop, tablet, and phone.

:::

The **on dark** switch exists because the theme cannot know the brightness of a color you picked or a photo you uploaded. If you set a dark custom background and the text becomes hard to read, that toggle is the fix.

## Where to go next

Which networks appear and how the buttons look are set in the shared share group, and they apply here too. See Sharing. For the top of the post, see Post header styles.

<details><summary>The block does not appear at the end of my posts</summary>

Article footer is not in the share placement list, or sharing is off entirely.

</details>

<details><summary>Can I have a different heading on different posts?</summary>

No, the wording is site-wide. That is usually what you want: a request that changes per article reads as inconsistent rather than personal.
