Ghost includes a native share modal that lets readers share posts to social platforms without any custom UI or JavaScript in your theme.
Native Share Buttons

​
How it works

The share modal is triggered by linking to #/share on any URL. When a reader clicks a link that ends with #/share, Ghost opens a default modal with share options. Selecting a platform opens it with the current post’s title and link pre-populated in a draft, ready to publish.

​
Adding share to your theme

To expose the native share experience to readers, add a link to #/share anywhere in your theme: 
<a href="#/share">Share</a>
That’s it — no additional JavaScript or UI needed. Ghost handles the modal and share options automatically. Place the link wherever makes sense in your theme: a post footer, a floating share bar, a menu, or inline within post content.

​
Theme compatibility

Themes without a #/share link will continue to work as normal. All official Ghost themes already include a share link out of the box.
