Missing sharing buttons and widgets – HELP!

    Hi,
    I’ve been working on my blog on and off for the past year or so. Having not logged in for a few months I noticed that some of my widgets have disappeared. I used to have a follow button for my blog and a follow button via email for people who don’t use WordPress but these seem to have disappeared. My hit counter is still visible and so is my archive. However I have noticed that when I click a new page or the refresh button I see a flicker very quickly in the sidebar where my missing share buttons should be. I can’t tell what it is but it could be those widgets as they are not inactive and should be working fine.

    Another problem I noticed was that the sharing section in settings doesn’t show any social media sites like it used to. At the top of the page I am linked to Facebook and twitter but for the sharing buttons displayed under each page none of these are visible. In sharing under settings there is a section that says available services where I can create my own toolbar by dragging and dropping services that I would like to appear under each post but the only ones available are “email” and “print”. There is an add new service option but as far as I know Facebook and twitter etc should already be there for me to select from.

    The theme I am using is the suits theme.

    Hi there. If I view your blog I can see all the features you mention here, as you can see from this screenshot: http://snag.gy/FisrU.jpg

    If you don’t see them it might be a browser issue. Please make sure you are using one of the browsers and versions listed here: http://browsehappy.com/

    Additionally, try clearing your browser cache and cookies and make sure you have third-party cookies enabled. You can also check whether you have the same problem on a different browser.

    If none of that helps, can you please provide a screenshot of what you see, both on your blog and where you add the sharing buttons in the Settings.
