  Hi,

  When I changed my site over to https by adding SSL all of the facebook like counts for blog posts disappeared. Is there a way to recover them? Thank you.

  Hi there!

  Please note that your site at amberleerose.com is using the WordPress.org software and is hosted by Bluehost. We aren’t able to provide direct support for sites using WordPress.org as this forum is for WordPress.com sites. If you aren’t sure about the differences, please check out this page: WordPress.com vs WordPress.org.

  We are happy to point you in the right direction, but note that you may need to contact your hosting service for help or post on the WordPress.org community forum here: https://wordpress.org/support/forums

  Facebook likes are usually lost because the link changes from HTTP to HTTPS. I searched to see if there’s a way to restore the like count and found this: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/27261781/switching-from-http-to-https-lost-all-facebook-likes-count

  I’d suggest following the instructions there to see if they work. If you need more help with this, please post on the WordPress.org community support forum at https://wordpress.org/support/forums.

  Regards
