Hi, just changed it to public. I was (still am) in the costumize process and thought it would be better keeping it private. Could you help me as it is now? Thanks

Volunteers cannot view private sites and do not ask for them to be made public. I clearly see sharing buttons at the bottom of this post https://sidechickonfleek.wordpress.com/2017/10/12/lart-of-fashion/ running FF56 on windows 10. If you cannot see them you have a browser related issue.

Thank you so much, @timethief. :)
Hello @sidechickonfleek,
You might have not noticed the option for Pinterest. While you’re on the Sharing page: https://wordpress.com/sharing/buttons/sidechickonfleek.wordpress.com/ – click on the +Add “More” Button in the middle. See screenshot here: https://i.imgur.com/m4bhDEU.png
Then you will find more social icons, including Pinterest.
Click “Pinterest” and click Save Changes button. See screenshot here: https://i.imgur.com/3Wq9HxD.png
There’s no option to share via Instagram, but you may want to use Instagram Widget – this will not let people to share your posts via Instagram, but you can embed your recent posts in your Instagram account to your WordPress.com website. See here: https://en.support.wordpress.com/instagram/instagram-widget/
*Please note that these Social Media icons will not show up, while your website is private. It’s same with your Instagram will not embed recent posts if your Instagram is private. While your website is private, no one will see your posts except you, hence no way that it can be shared.
While your website is Private, these may only be the options you will have for the Share buttons: https://i.imgur.com/HqUtEg6.png You will also find this note: Sharing options are limited on private sites.
Let me know if you need further assistance.

Hi!
Thanks so much for the information, it will help n the future.
I probably didn’t make myself clear, as I don’t have a problem regarding the sharing options of the posts in Pinterest and such. My issue is with the option “social links” located in menus when costumizing the theme. What I mean is that in the top right of my page you can see the Facebook and Google+ icons, as in the social networks connected to my page; and the thing is that I wanted to connect my Pinterest and Instagram account. -
Hello @sidechickonfleek,
Thank you. I understand now – you’re referring to the Social icons on the menu. See this screenshot from my test site: http://prntscr.com/gyxsbl
Please try the following:
1. Please click here – https://wordpress.com/customize/ – to go to your website’s Customizer.
2. You may need to select the blog you’re working on right now.
3. Then select Menus.
4. Click Social Media. Make sure everything you wanted to show are in here. If you don’t, just fill them up.
(e.g. Pinterest – https://www.pinterest.com/%5Byour username]/, Instagram https://www.instagram.com/%5Byour username]/, and so on)
5. Below that you will see Display Location. Make sure Social Menu is ticked.
6. Then click Save and Publish button.You may find more information from the support page of your theme:
