Why is sharing not working on my blog?
-
The share buttons (FB, Twitter, etc) don’t seem to be working on my blog. I can’t see them on posts and most don’t even appear in my settings to enable them. Nor do the avatars of those who have liked a post appear. And I can’t see a like button although people are “liking” my posts. I use Chateau theme. It is not set to private.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

It is working. Click any post/page title to see the sharing buttons that are appearing on your blog at the end of the posts/pages. http://slywit.wordpress.com/2014/02/12/postcards-from-the-edge/

I’m glad to hear you apparently see them. I don’t see anything at the end of the post or above/below the comment box. While normally I might suspect Chrome, in the sharing part of my dashboard, most buttons aren’t there either, either as “enabled” or to choose to enable, so there is clearly a problem. I assume this is related to the recent upgrade but I understand that Chateau is a pretty popular theme so I hope this is just a temporary glitch.

if you cannot see the sharing icons that I can see using Firefox 27 then you have a browser related issue. 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://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1196-internet-explorer-compatibility-view-turn-off.html
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

It looks like AdBlock Plus was the culprit. (I’m using Chrome Version 32.0.1700.107 on a PC laptop.)
