  Hi, I am looking to add some sharing buttons to my home page. Facebook, Instagram etc. When I go to my admin page > Sharing. I can see the buttons on the Connection tab, but when I click on the ‘Sharing Buttons’ tab, there is nothing. Am I doing something wrong? I watched a tutorial on how to add them and that is where they said to go. I also have not connected to my own facebook, twitter… etc sites. but this is for my visitors to share my website, so I don’t see why I should need be be logged in to activate them.

  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/museum/ and the live demo site is at https://museumdemo.wordpress.com/
