You can read the following tutorial: (video included)

Hi Eugene,

1. Voting button is there and working. How to display heart button means the Heart button shall be displayed as shown on demo website :). Currently on my website rectangular button is shown with number vote count, i want a Heart Symbol there. https://postimg.cc/k2hbq1fs

2. I have enabled the respective options on Entries & Entry on control panel as you mentioned in the link. but i did not understand the details on See the document: Creating a link to contestant. Also i seen the video you mentioned, there share button is shown active already.

The share button is not active. please guide me

Hi Abhay,
1. I've examined your site. There is a conflict of Uikit icons loaded by NorrCompetition with Helix Ultimate Joomla template. See the result with Cassiopeia:

Now I am switching back to your template and see the Uikit icons are still loaded:

But there is a conflict with your Joomla template. Please contact template developer for more details.

As for the 2nd question - please let me more time on investigation.

2. Abhay, you made everything correct with settings: you have enabled sharing buttons to be displayed on the contest (list of entries) and on the entry page. But you need to manually select which social accounts should be displayed and by default this list is empty:

See the screenshot:

Here is the documentation: https://docs.norrnext.com/norrcompetition/configuration/general#social-options

I added two options: Facebook and Whatsapp and now all is fine.
