  Hi lovely helpers

  I have four blogs on two separate accounts. This question applies to all of them. It used to be that when my link on FB to my new WP post on any blog received ‘likes’, they would show up against the button below the post. Not these days though, and I’m curious as to why that’s changed.

  I choose to do my own thing with social media rather than use Publicize. This never made a difference before.

  Twitter post numbers show up ok.

  The themes I am using are Manifest, Nishita and Forever.

  Any suggestions?
  Thanks, Miriam

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

  Seems the change from http:// to https:// may be the culprit.

  Thank you @justjennifer. Interesting. I changed the buttons as suggested but the FB numbers are zero on all… I guess FB and WP aren’t speaking at the moment.

  It’s not that important – but those ‘likes’ are a source of warm fuzzies for us beavering bloggers…

  You’re welcome. Even if you don’t see them on the front facing side of your site, you should be able to see FB shares in your site Stats, but only the “old” Stats page under Shares.
