Sharing Buttons
-
I am trying to set up some ‘Share’ buttons. I have just watched the WordPress video and it tells me to click on Sharing, and then Sharing Buttons.
When i do that the page is empty apart from a link asking me to upgrade.
Can someone help? This is driving me crazy.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I strongly suggest that you abandon watching the video as it’s likely only for wordpress.ORG installs and you have a wordpress.COm hosted blog.
The support docs for wordpress.COM hosted blogs are at https://en.support.wordpress.com/
Search https://en.support.wordpress.com/?s=sharing
Results https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/Also, note that your detailed theme description page with set-up instructions is at https://wordpress.com/themes/dyad/ and the live demo site is at https://dyaddemo.wordpress.com/

P.S. Sharing buttons are appearing at the end of your posts and pages exactly where they are expected to appear. See here https://shortinsight.wordpress.com/2016/05/18/highway-justice/ and here https://shortinsight.wordpress.com/about/

Thanks for your reply.
I checked the links you have me in your first reply and I am still hitting the same wall.
Even though I’m on a wordpress.com (not org), it seems that everyone when they click on “Sharing Buttons” under ‘Sharing’ should have a page of options.I am trying to add Pinterest. All the help tells me I can attach from that page which doesn’t seem to exist for me.
I know I have FB, G+, Mail. I was able to attach these from the wordpress dashboard relevant to my site.
I would like to know if I am meant to have that page (Sharing Buttons) or not?
If not how do I add a Pinterest button and a re blog button. (The re blog box is checked, but I can’t see anything) -

The only code that will work for Pinterest site verification of a wordpress.comblog is described here https://en.support.wordpress.com/webmaster-tools/#pinterest-site-verification and you must be logged into Pinterest when you are trying to verify?
The Pinterest “Pin It” hover button will automatically appear on your WordPress.com blog if you have added Pinterest as a sharing button on your Settings > Sharing page and if you are also using the “Official buttons” for the style of the buttons (you can change it on that same settings page).
We can hover over any image in a post and pin it if we are logged into Pinterest. If you have enabled the official buttons for sharing, a “Pin It” hover button will automatically appear for your images. https://en.support.wordpress.com/sharing/ All we do after clicking the share button is choose one of the images displayed in the post to pin.

I can see it. Maybe you are running an outdated browser version. You can update any browser here http://browsehappy.com.

I have setup the verification for Pinterest. I followed the same guidelines you gave someone else earlier in the year.
You say that you can see both a pinterest official button and also a reblog button?
I’ll try the browser link, but not sure why?
Thanks
