  Hi There,

  Keegan here, WordPress.com community member, I would be happy to help.

  From the looks of your theme demo, it doesn’t look like this theme has like buttons on the homepage. Although it may be possible to enable them. Go here – https://wordpress.com/sharing/buttons/
  and next to Show buttons on, under Options select where you want Likes (and other sharing buttons) to be displayed.

  Every theme has its own info page, yours is located here – https://wordpress.com/theme/apostrophe-2/

  You must have a Business account to activate the Google analytics feature. Read more about this here – https://en.support.wordpress.com/google-analytics/

  Please let me know if this answers your question, or if you need further assistance :)

  Hi – thanks vm for the response. Actually I had already tried the sharing button, but it still doesn't work on my home page.Also, I was able to view the stats earlier in my current plan under the earlier theme – I just can't see it after the theme change.

  Can you pls help?

  Hi There,

  Keegan here, I would be happy to help.

  I’m afraid your theme does not have sharing buttons on the homepage. These sharing buttons typically show under single post pages. It would be possible in the future to add this if you upgraded to a premium or business plan and edited the site CSS.

  Each theme will display things differently, be sure to check out your themes features here – https://wordpress.com/theme/apostrophe-2/

  Can you confirm if you can see your site stats here – https://wordpress.com/stats/insights/

  Make sure you have tried to follow the steps listed here to show like buttons on front pages – https://en.support.wordpress.com/likes/#likes-and-your-site

  Under “Show Share Buttons On” click “front page”. – https://wordpress.com/sharing/buttons/

  If your theme doesn’t show the like buttons after enabling this, then the theme does not support it.
