why aren't my like and sharing buttons showing up?
-
My Like and Sharing buttons are not showing up on my blogs…they used to… My dashboard looks normal and shows that they are in use, but when I view my site they are not there. I even checked by using a friend’s computer.

Howdy Robyn!
It looks like this is only happening on your latest post:
http://rcponders.wordpress.com/2013/05/29/dr-mercola-discusses-new-gmo-study-youtube/Because this is a reblogged post, Likes and Sharing options will not appear, as the intent is for users to Like/Share the original post.
I do see Likes/Sharing buttons on your other posts, however.
I hope this clears things up!

Hi Sixhours,
Thanks for the feedback. Actually, I was talking about the post http://museiddity.com/2013/06/14/guest-post-when-you-cant-wait-for-inspiration-by-michelle-mach/.
I have three blogs (one is more of a portfolio). I don’t need shares on the portfolio but would like to fix the two blog sites.
I am curious why you say you can see them when I can’t–even on a different computer. I even had a friend email me saying that my button had been dropped. Very perplexing–especially for a non-techy :) -
Okay, I think I see what is happening. My Like & Share buttons used to show at the bottom of my posts. Now, for some reason, the reader has to click on Comments to see those buttons.
If someone can tell me how to go back to showing the buttons separate from “comments” I’d appreciate it.
Thanks! -
Howdy Robyn,
Ahh, OK, I think I can help with that.
If you go to Settings -> Sharing, ensure that the “Front Page, Archive Pages, and Search Results” option is checked. That will show Likes and Sharing buttons on your blog index, as well as on single posts.
Give that a try and let me know if you have any luck!
Cheers,
Caroline -
