It’s Possible!: Facebook SHARE and LIKE buttons…at the same time!
-
Thanks to everyone for their contributions with this. Airodyssey mentioned the tip I was about to leave regarding making sure to select “Official Buttons” under Button Style, as there is no longer a drop down menu as mentioned early on in this thread. That will enable the “Like” button for facebook, and then you can create the share button as originally stated. See how mine came out: thisboysbriefs.wordpress.com

I am wondering, however, if there is a way to get rid of that big obnoxious space that shows up after the “Like” button? It really throws off the look of the share section. thisboysbriefs.wordpress.com

Also note that the space following your posts you are indicating is where the advertising is placed, so that could be a factor. WordPress.com has been running advertising on our free hosted blogs since 2006. Many bloggers do not know this because despite the fact they ticked the box required to get a free blog, they did not read the ToS. Many also do not read features page, or advertising entry in the support documents after registering their username and blog(s). As the ads do not display to us when we are logged in many bloggers do not realize they are there at all. Also as many use browsers with ad blockers they don’t witness the ads. Note: The only way to get rid of all advertising on our free hosted WordPress.com blogs is to purchase an annually renewable No-Ads upgrade.

Hi, I have carried out the steps provided by Jcryle above but am still not able to put in the FB Like button. Instead the button added is a FB Share button which is similar to the existing one provided by WP. I did notice that for the second last step he advised ie.” to right click the down button of the existing FB button provided by WP and choose the Like option”, when I did that, nothing happens. Appreciate it if anymore can help please!
My blog is at http://aulova.wordpress.com

many thanks! airodyssey. By combining your answer and also another member’s (brancolina’s on 22 Aug 2011 – to change the Button Style to “Official”), I have managed to get the FB Like button up. The only problem is between this button and the FB Share button is one big gap and I do not know how to make them closer.
But, still the same, many thanks! Anyone with advice on the last point is appreciated.!

Hi there! This is all really great, but when I select “Official Buttons”, only LinkedIn displays on the live blog. It looks fine in the “Live Preview” on the Settings page though. When I select “Icon + Text” or just “Icon”, the Facebook and Twitter buttons display perfectly, but the LinkedIn icon does not display at all… a little frustrating… Any advice, please?

Hello again,
I told you yesterday in another thread you commented in that I’m using Firefox 7.0.1 and I can see all the sharing buttons on your blog. I can see them today too. Please try clearing your browser cache and cookies. Please also see this in the support docs as it may be helpful:If you are having trouble showing the sharing buttons on your blog, please check the following:
I can’t see the buttons on the front page.
Make sure to select “Posts and index pages” for “Show sharing buttons on” setting. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/#troubleshooting -

Hi!
I’m in trouble and need some help. On my version of WordPress (that i manage online), there is no “arrow” on the “Share” button to chose which mode i want (like, share etc…). Why? (I am working on the French version of wordpress but i don’t think it does matter). -
@philgoodinc: I answered you in the French forums.
