  I have a blog and added all of the social sharing buttons to it. But, the facebook share button is not working. I have clicked on it, but, all it shows is like. It doesn’t open up a facebook share screen so that I can post it to my timeline.

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

  I believe the problem is under your sharing settings you’ve chosen the “official buttons” and that is just how the official Facebook button works. If you’d rather have a Facebook button that let’s visitors share, go to Settings>Sharing on your dashboard and choose one of the other options under “button style”

  Let me know if you run into any trouble, and I’ll be happy to help.

  Hi,

  Today I change the domain of the blog flowerspaper2014.wordpress.com to florsdepaper.com because it is easy to people find me.
  When I check this change, I realised that when I come to read one post, the number of the Facebook people who had clicked and before I could see , has desappear. Now, It is as no one has visited the post..
  Could you please, tell me what I can do to people clicks Facebook could appear again and others could see while there Reading the post.
  Thank you.
  Gemma

  If I understand correctly, you are saying that the share buttons at the bottom of your post (shown here: http://snag.gy/TyP98.jpg) used to include a count of the number of times the article had been shared to Facebook, is that right?

  If so, the domain mapping upgrade may have disrupted the connection between WordPress and Facebook in a way that reset the counter. If that’s the case, I don’t think there is anything you can do to get the old numbers back, but new shares should be counted like before.

  Hi,
  This is what it happened, now the count is 0.
  As you say there is not possible to do anything to recuperate them, is it?
  Thank you for your help.

  Hallo,
  wenn ich auf den “Gefällt mir”-Button drücke, dann erscheint folgendes Fenster: https://wordpress.com/public.api/connect/?action=verify&service=wordpress
  ich kann aber mein Gefallen nicht ausdrücken.
  Es klappt weder bei Firefox noch bei Opera.
  Was ist zu tun?
  Liebe Grüße Ruth
