  Hi, clever and helpful people of WordPress.

  A reader of my blog informed me that she’d pressed the ‘like’ button on a password protected post I’d written on littlesniffypig.wordpress.com, but that when she refreshed the page it didn’t show up. I tried it too and the same thing happened.

  Is it a setting on my dashboard, or a problem at your end? If, as I suspect, it’s my fault (!) how do I rectify the situation.

  Thanks in advance

  Many of the Available Services are missing from the selection on the sharing settings page. If your blog is private, you will see fewer number of services listed. http://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/#troubleshooting

  :) Hello timethief! Thanks for coming to my rescue again.

  The blog itself isn’t private – just the post. It was the WordPress ‘like’ button that we were trying. Does that not work on password protected posts?

  I’m sorry but I don’t have much experience with password protected posts and I don’t have the time to test this for you. Hopefully another Volunteer who uses password protected posts will chime in here.

  I’m grateful for your prompt response anyway! Thank you. :)
