Sharing buttons – option missing
-
I would like to add sharing buttons to my posts – like I used to be able to do a while back. I’ve tried following the guidance and get to select the Sharing Buttons tab, but on opening this there is nothing there except a comment regarding ‘no adds with wordpress.com Premium’ Are Sharing Buttons only available to certain types of blogs? Any help would really be appreciated.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Many thanks for your help.
I’ve tried viewing and logging in with Chrome and that allows me to view and update the buttons. I usually use Firefox, and I am using the latest version as far as I am aware (52.0) but can’t see them using that browser. I will check out the other details you advise regarding cookies and browser issues tomorrow and see if I can find what’s stopping my viewing properly in Firefox.
Many thanks again for the pointers

That’s strange.
I’m not using a desktop app.
I’m on a PC Operating System Windows Windows NT 10.0
Web Browser Firefox 52.0 and I can see them.You will have to wait for Staff help to pursue other troubleshooting.

I’m using an Asus laptop with Windows 10 (which I upgraded from 8.1) and Firefox 52.0. As I said everything is fine in Chrome so at least I can change the sharing options there.
I’ve checked I have 3rd party cookies enabled, and cleared the cache. I’ll take a look at the browser issues link before I ask for a modlook. I’m frustrated I can’t find out what the issue is :0) I’m sure it must be something simple I’m missing!

Success! – I have an ad blocker enabled in Firefox! As soon as I disable it on the Sharing Buttons page and refreshed I got all the options back!
Hope this info helps someone else!

Hi there,
Glad to hear you got this sorted. Ad blockers can certainly affect editing your site, managing settings and what is visible.
Thanks for letting us know :)
