How to align object below hovered menu

Under my posts I have a read more button along with a few buttons. My last button is a social share button, and when you hover over it a social share menu appears below it. The problem is that the buttons are all aligned next to each other which I want, however when you hover over the share button the share button moves up and the social share menu appears aligned with the other buttons. How could I make it so that the social share menu appears below all of the buttons and my share button always stays aligned with the other buttons? Thanks in advance. Here is a fiddle - https://jsfiddle.net/5mgoktLs/2/

*I also want the share menu to be centered under the share button

Buttons before hover...

css

.wrap:hover .share-buttons {
  display:block;
}
.share-buttons {
  display: none;
    letter-spacing: 5px;
}
.wrap {
    display: inline-block;
}
.reply {
    display: inline-block;
}
.another-reply {
    display: inline-block;
}

Solution

  • This fixed it for me:

    .wrap:hover .share-buttons {
  display:block;
  position: absolute;
}

    Updated: If you want it centered, this is a bit hacky but it works!

    .wrap:hover .share-buttons {
 display: block;
 position: absolute;
 top: 50%;
 left: 50%;
 transform: translate(-50%, 30%);
 white-space: nowrap;
}

.wrap {
 position: relative;
 display: inline-block;
}
