  Hi there,

  Are you speaking of the sharing count at the bottom of your posts?

  This is normal with an address change. When you load a post in your browser we send the URL to Facebook and ask them how many times that URL has been shared on Facebook. Facebook then returns a number which we display in the sharing button.

  However, if you change your site’s address that changes the URL for all your posts, and if the new URL hasn’t been shared on Facebook yet, it won’t return a sharing count. The old links that were shared are still on Facebook, but Facebook can only return a sharing count for the URL you are using at the moment.

  Hi
  No I am not, its a bit confusing to explain, The only way I can see my blog is by going to a link of a post and then work backwards from there, if I go to dashboard I am told there no posts to edit? I need to screen share with someone as it would not make sense if I were in your shoes.

  Then you are most likely looking at the dashboard of the wrong site.

  You have three sites in your account. If you click on My Sites, click the Switch Site link at the top of the page. That should list all three sites and you can select the one you want to work on.

  If all three sites are not listed there, then one of them might be set to hidden. You can change whether a site is hidden from My Sites or not from this page:

  Hi Kokkieh

  All sorted, like navigating a car and getting frustrated, getting used to it now.

  Thank you for your help.
