  The share & Like buttons for the Lovebird theme don’t work. When I try to share using Facebook, Twitter, WordPress, Google+, Tumblr I get a weird pop up that displays my icon. There is no way to share anything from that popup window. The StumbleUpon button doesn’t do anything. Only the Pininterest button works.

  I truly need these buttons to work asap! I am trying to sell summer earrings and the season is closing fast!

  Hi Timethief, I appreciate the quick response. I am now wondering if the problem was the following:

  I was attempting to share Media Pages. I have been going through each one and making identical Post Pages and those share & like buttons work fine. Could the fact that it was a Media Page be the problem?

  It’s been a lot of work to redo all my pages, but in the end, I think is more advantageous. I can tag posts better than media pages.

  Please let me know if you think this was at the bottom of my problem.
