Do you know if the Jetpack plugin is full compatible with your theme? I am having some issues displaying share buttons on the homepage even having all configured right and I don’t know where to start looking for a solution!

Hello,
Please can you give us more details about what issue do you have? Do you mean about the sharing icons on pages?

Thanks for the message!

I have Jetpack installed and showing share btns set to show on my homepage posts, pages and posts. It only shows on single posts.

I’ve upgraded to WP 3.8 and your theme 2.1.2 and everything is great but the Facebook plugin issue that remains and also now the Jetpack share btns issue. I see it’s a theme issue because when I try the Twenty Fourteen theme, it works fine as configured, buttons are showing everywhere as it is supposed to.

Wait on your reply.

Thanks.

Hello,
Yes we know about that issue with the sharing on pages. We want to change the theme structure to be more similar with wordpress standards. Will be v. 3 available next year and we will fix the sharing on pages to.

Thanks for the message!

Ok but do you have any ideas on how to exhibit the share buttons on the loop? Most of my visitors come to my homepage and navigate through the pages reading the post loop. I need the share buttons to appear as in the single post page urgent!
If no Jetpack, do you know any share plugins that does the job?

Ok, I have a similar, but different questions. How do I REMOVE the social sharing buttons? I want to use another plugin called SHAREAHOLIC because the 4 basic sharing buttons (twitter, facebook google and pinterest) are not what I like for my site.

I thought I’d find the files in the single.php file, but I can’t seem to get rid of them…. Any ideas?

Hey, @Kennylovescamping
off the original topic, but I did exactly the same thing using the addthis plugin vs the shareaholic plugin.

FYI – just follow my little holiday post and replace addthis with shareaholic, and of course you don’t need to hack the addthis for async mode (obviously):

@mmcmsp

similarly you can use the WP addthis plugin to insert share buttons of any style/shape on pages, posts, etc. — easy enough to try to see if it works for you during rev3 development which is Radu’s happy funtime post holidays “-)

Thanks Christopher and Arved007… I found where you are talking about the option to turn off sharing in the customizer section of the theme… I somehow overlooked that when looking at it earlier. I WAS able to turn the built in social sharing OFF, but I’m still not quite sure how to get my shareaholic social sharing plugin to work now that it’s turned off. I’m not extremely great with coding, I have a VERY basic knowledge of it so it takes me some time to figure stuff out.

Now that I have the built in social sharing turned OFF, how can I get shareaholic to work with this theme? It doesn’t look like shareaholic has the same php files like you described in your post Christopher. Any additional light you can shed on this would be great!

Thanks!

Hello,
I’ve tested Shareaholic | share buttons, analytics, related content and for me works fine see here: http://screencast.com/t/sgP5wP0vJU

For you doesn’t work?

you need to install the shareaholic plugin, then activate it, then configure its built-in settings to automatically place buttons “below” content, and choose buttons you want 🙂

Last time I used it, I didn’t need to manually insert any code in the theme templates, it works like addthis and “inserts” the code into the theme “hooks” at bottom of content.

Marius and Christopher… Shareaholic WAS working for me fine. At the same time that shareaholic was working, I had the basic social sharing buttons from the theme as well, so it looked kinda funny. Once I had turned the social sharing buttons OFF in the theme options, it turned the original theme’s share buttons off, but it also turned shareaholic’s sharing buttons and related content off as well. So i went ahead and turned the sharing feature back on in the theme customization section and sure enough the original theme’s share buttons came back on, but now shareaholic is nowhere to be found on the page. Not quite sure what I’m doing wrong, but it seems like this is an issue… I will try out the adthis plugin and see if I have any different results and update everyone…
