I can't get the share buttons on post to show up on my blog posts

    Hi, I can’t seem to get social media buttons to show up on each of my blog posts. I have enabled them and tried many times to see if they show on the posts but they don’t. It tells me that my settings have been saved successfully. What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

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

    Hi there!

    This can be a bit confusing! There are two places to adjust the sharing buttons:

    1. First from the new view (where your stats appear) you can select the “sharing” page from the menu on the left. At the top select the second tab “sharing buttons”.
    – Make sure that the Preview is showing the buttons the way you want.
    – Under “Options” –> “Show sharing buttons on”, make sure that you select every box. Just to see if you can get them to show up. Perhaps you have posts selected but your posts are showing up on a front-page template and that’s keeping them from appearing.
    – Save

    2. The second way to adjust is “WP Admin” page (the classic view). There, select the “settings”, then “sharing”.

    – Under the sharing buttons you’ll see “Available Services” and “Enabled Services” Make sure that you have the buttons you want in the “Enabled Services” section and that they show up in the “Preview” section.
    – Check all the buttons again for “Show buttons on”
    – Save Changes

    Let me know if this doesn’t work for you or you have any other questions about this!

    Kind regards,
    Jason
