Why don't "likes" show on my blog?
-
Hi!
I have recently started my blog. I am using the Adelle theme,
I have had a few other bloggers click ‘like’ on a couple of my posts (hurrah!) but these do not show on the blog so why?
I have tried resetting my screen options, clearing the cache and cookies, all my posts have the options ticked for showing likes and shares, trying on different browsers but still they do not show on the blog.
I’ve tried every suggestion I can find, but nothing seems to solve the problem.
Thanks!The blog I need help with is http://newlune.wordpress.com/ .

Please click any post title like this one and then scroll down to the bottom of the posts to see the likes.http://newlune.wordpress.com/2014/10/19/colourful-smokey-eye-halloween-edition-new-lune/

Thank you for replying!
I can only see the likes if I log on to my blog. The public can not see the likes, that’s weird because I have checked other blogs and I could see their likes. -

But if I signed out from my blog and check out my blog as a “public/normal” user, I can not see the likes.

If you log out and you cannot see like when clicking a post title then you have a browser related issue.
In order to help you we need to know your specific computing environment details. Please work through what follows and report back.
1. If you are not running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/ please try upgrading or switching first.
2. If you are using an IE browser in compatibility mode please disable that mode. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/internet-explorer/use-compatibility-view
3. If you are running one of the browsers and versions listed at http://browsehappy.com/
(a) Try clearing your browser’s cache http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=32050
If applicable see here for instructions on how to clear the cache for Chrome and Safari on the iPad:

5. Try using another browser.

Nope, i signed out and I can see yor likes.
As said @timethief
I can see your likes using 3 browsers – FF32, Chrome 37 and IE11.
and…with Opera 25: https://cloudup.com/caVbfLN9TBZ

Thank you so much for taking your time!
I checked everything that you gave me and I don’t know if something is wrong with my browser or anything else.
I have used Google Chrome and Internet Explorer, there are the latest versions but I can not see the likes or the sharing buttons.
I have checked everything related to the cache, flash, etc. but nothing.
I am using my laptop which is an ASUS model, I have checked on my iPhone, iPod as well, it’s the same issue. I even checked in my college’s computer, it’s the same issue.
Personally, if I am the only user who can not see then I wouldn’t mind! As long as other users are able to see it, I am completely fine!
I hope I am not disturbing you and thank you for your help! -
@newlune
Of course you aren’t disturbing use. We Volunteers are here specifically to help other bloggers. I’m wondering if you are running an adblocker or some other browser add-on or extension that could block the display. Please try disabling all browser extensions or add-ons temporarily and I’ll tag this thread for a Staff follow-up. -

Sorry for the late reply!
I have disabled all my browser extensions and add-ons but still I can not see my likes and sharing button. :( -
Hi newlune,
Can you please make a screenshot of what you see when you look for the likes and sharing buttons on your site? You can upload screenshots to your Media Library under Media > Add New in your dashboard, or you can use an online service like Snaggy.
That will help me understand what you are seeing when you visit your site.
