Sharing buttons not displaying on posts etc

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’ve enabled the options for sharing buttons on my blog and they are not displaying. The only place I can see them is on my page ‘About’. I’ve tried clearing my cache and cookies in case I’m simply seeing a cached copy and I still don’t see them.

    I’ve gone to Configuration > Sharing.
    I’ve dragged buttons to Enabled Services (Twitter, Facebook, Reddit, Google, Tumblr, Pinterest)
    I’ve selected Official style
    I’ve enabled buttons to show on all options:

    Front Page, Archive Pages, and Search Results
    Posts
    Pages
    Media
    WooFramework Internal Container

    I tried with just the first three, that doesn’t work either.

    I’ve clicked on Save Changes.

    Share buttons are not working on my posts, front page etc.

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hello there!

    I’m looking into this issue for you.

    Could you please tell me if the sharing buttons ever did work on eldelphia.wordpress.com? Also, was the site ever private?

    Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks very much.

    This is the first time I’ve tried to use them. I don’t think this blog was ever private.

    Hello there!

    Thanks for your note.

    I took a look at your latest post, and I see that your “Show sharing buttons” box was not checked:

    I clicked to opt-into your sharing buttons on this post. Then, I clicked Update to save the changes I made.

    I now see your sharing buttons here:
    https://eldelphia.wordpress.com/2015/01/27/ing-crafting-master-ii-tokens/

    Can you please open any past posts you want to adjust, and change their sharing button settings as well? Then click Update to save.

    When you refresh those posts in your browser, you should see the buttons.

    That should do the trick! If I can help in any other way, please drop me a line. Cheers :)

    Thanks for explaining that. Is there no way to just enable the sharing on all my posts at once or going forward? It seems daft to offer the option in the sharing section and then have to do it manually each post.

    Hello again!

    Going forward, you should not have to manually add this to each post. I checked your settings and can confirm all looks well.

    If you’d like, you can create a test post to try this out. Or, of course, you can wait until you’re ready to publish your next post.

    Please do let me know how it works out for you, and if I can assist further.

    Many thanks!
