  I’m trying to add share buttons to my blog. When I go to the sharing option, I am unable to click and drag share buttons to the area to activate sharing. They will drag but they won’t stay in the enabling area, they just go back to the options list. Is having share buttons a service I have to pay for? If not, how do I make this work? I’ve already tried every support article I could find.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  What browser and browser version are you using?

  Have you tried logging out of wordpress, clearing your browser cache and cookies, restarting your browser and then taking another go at it?

  I’m having a similar problem – dragged share buttons into the appropriate area. I see them there, but they don’t appear on my blog. Tried on my PC and on my mac.
  Thanks in advance for any help!

  @profdq
  I am using a Firefox 4.0 browser and I can clearly see the sharing buttons on your posts. When I click the post titles the posts are displayed on their own page and are visible oat the bottom of the posts. This is normal behavior.

  What browser and browser version are you using?

  If that does not work for you and the browser version you are using is outdated then upgrade it. http://browsehappy.com/

  Thank you so much for the quick response, timethief!
  OK, thanks to your response, I clicked on an individual post and saw the buttons! (I’m currently on Safari – don’t know which version). So, they work. But…so that brings me to my next question, if you wouldn’t mind: how do I get those share buttons to display at the end of posts generally (without having to click on an individual post, which people not not do)?
  Thanks!
