reblog sharing
-
My FB sharing button I often have to uncheck & check again because it disappears. Now I find the reblog button has done the same. I have unchecked & checked that twice now in settings to no avail. Can you tell me why these buttons disappear? thank you
-
@jcrv99 can you clarify what’s happening when the settings disappear? I’m not sure I understand what’s happening. From what you’re saying it sounds like the settings are still there (because you can uncheck and re-check them) but they aren’t appearing where you expect them to. Please send more info and if possible, a screenshot, so we can make sure we’re on the same page as to what’s happening.
You can upload any screenshots to wordpress.com/media and just update us here when you’ve done so.

Randomly, on some posts, the reblog button doesn’t appear. I then go to settings to ensure that box is checked & find it is. So I uncheck it then save, then check it and save again, and return to the post to find the reblog button is still not there. Now this randomly happens sometimes when I open that post so it has its own page, but also on the news / front page where there is the succession of posts. Sometimes there is a reblog button on those but also, sometimes not. Right now that button is not on the news page but it is on individual posts.
I’m unsure where to upload screen shots?

Hi there,
Are you using the classic Dashboard (https://envirowatchrangitikei.wordpress.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=sharing) or the WordPress.com one (https://wordpress.com/sharing/buttons/) to enable and disable the sharing button?
For sending a screenshot you can use a free service like https://snag.gy/

Hi fstat, thanks for replying. I’ve been using the classic dashboard. Following both those links you’ve given though, I see that in both, the reblog button is checked.
I do have screen shots but where do I upload them to? Thanks. -
I find http://snag.gy/ to be very useful for sharing screenshots. You can also upload the screenshot to your site’s media library. We will be able to see it there.

Hi there,
The screen shot you have at https://envirowatchrangitikei.wordpress.com/wp-admin/upload.php?item=46231 is the default setting for your site. It only controls what happens with new posts, and does not change the individual settings for posts that are already published.
Randomly, on some posts, the reblog button doesn’t appear.
Can you please point to a specific post on your site where it does not appear?
Note that the Reblog button will not show on posts that are themselves reblogs. In other words, the button will show on https://envirowatchrangitikei.wordpress.com/2018/11/25/there-has-been-a-recent-spate-of-animal-bird-poisonings-on-aucklands-north-shore/, which is an original post on your site, but it will not show on https://envirowatchrangitikei.wordpress.com/2018/11/25/is-the-us-forest-service-too-busy-flying-cocaine-in-its-planes-to-fight-forest-fires/, which you reblogged from somewhere else. That is not an error, but how the Reblog button works – the button will only show on the original version of that post on the site where the post itself was published.
Right now that button is not on the news page but it is on individual posts.
The Reblog button should never be visible on the news page. That button is only loaded when you view an individual post on its own page. The next time you see the Reblog button on the news page, can you please take a screen shot, including the title of the post on which it shows, so we can take a look?

Thank you for this reply, I will respond with all the answers on Wednesday as I’m unable to before then. Many thanks.

‘Randomly, on some posts, the reblog button doesn’t appear.’
Apologies on closer examination & hearing your explanation it looks like this is my own error, thinking reblogs would be on the news page.However, back to my initial question on the FB buttons I have found egs of those not appearing & have posted them also in the media page as before. There are five there posted today 1 Dec. Four are without FB buttons. The fifth titled ‘rocket lab no edit button’, I’ve put in here as for reasons I can’t figure, the whole line that usually has the author, date & edit option was not there. I had to do a completely new post for this in order to be able to show that line & subsequently edit. Wonder if you can shed some light on that one also.
Many thanks for your patience.

Please include the links to the actual posts in your replies here. The screen shots are helpful, but I can’t just open the correct post from a screen shot, which means I have to go search for the posts manually on your site in order to check them. Given the number of posts you publish a day, this takes a lot of time.
In this case the posts in your screen shots are:

I can see the Facebook button on all of them.
If the button is not appearing for you, it’s likely something in your browser blocking it from loading.

Apologies, Supernova up there just asked for screenshots. I will add links in future. It seems odd that not all disappear, only occasional ones. I had to search through a lot of posts to find those ones I’ve sent. They are random. OK I will try the solutions you suggest & come back. Thank you again.
-
Tried all 3 browsers I use mostly (after clearing cache) and also IE which I only occasionally use…
Very curious because in Firefox, IE & Opera all the views on all 4 post links the FB share button displayed.
On Commodo on the first try of all four links they all showed the button except link no. 4
I tried all four again, this time no. 2 didn’t display
I tried them all a third time & this time it displayed on all four links.. no prob. I didn’t change anything either.Seems commodo is the one that’s doing odd things then. I did go straight to edit each time and the sharing box is checked. Previously when that’s happened I uncheck, save, then check & save & usually is then ok.
-
I’m glad you figured this out. Please also check if Comodo has installed an extension to your browsers that’s causing this behavior.
Also, note that this was something on your end and your site’s visitors are able to correctly view the sharing buttons.
-
Strangely these seem to still be randomly disappearing. Not from Commodo yesterday but from Opera. Thing is I then check all the other browsers, time I come back to the first one it’s reappeared again. This is on the news page, first article yesterday. Anyway, will leave it for now & just watch if it becomes too much of a problem. Thanks for your help everyone. Cheers.
