  I’m coming back to an issue previously discussed here at https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/linen-facebook-widget-not-displaying?replies=6#post-1508747 . This bug in the Facebook widget for Linen can be fixed by resetting the Chrome browser, as the previous thread indicates, but the problem quickly returns. Any long term fix in sight for this bug?

  Hi there – It wasn’t exactly that it was a bug that was fixed by doing that. Rather, we couldn’t see any problem on our end, which meant it was some issue with your particular browser. Some setting or extension.

  The same thing is happening now, because I can see your Facebook widget just fine (I am also using Chrome). I think it’s likely that something that you change or tweak with your browser as you use it is somehow blocking that widget from loading. Do you use any browser extensions or add-ons? You can check by going to Chrome->Preferences->Extensions.

  I do, although not many. PrivacyFix, Buffer and ThisIsMyJam. I suppose I should turn them off one by one to see if they are affecting the widget display.

  Hi there – Yep, please do. :) Let me know if any of them appear to be blocking the widget.

  Looks like it is the AVG PrivacyFix (version 5.0.2). I’ll just have to turn that off when I’m not using it.

  Glad we straightened that out!

  Thanks,
