Sharebar Plugin Says 'False' For Facebook Shares

  • I’m using the Sharebar plugin that hovers to the left of each blog post – where it is supposed to say the number of times it was shared through facebook it instead says ‘False’ for every blog post.

    I don’t understand why it is doing this but I would like to get it back to the original numbers – they were working, now all of a sudden they say False and I haven’t added anything new to my blog aside from a new blog post.

    I would like to avoid resetting the numbers as it took me some time to get them to where they are at now – any help or suggestion would be very much appreciated, thanks!

    P.S. If any of this matters – I am using: Windows Vista, Internet Exlporer 9, and WordPress version 3.2.1

    Here is an example of what I mean:

    Yes. I see that on my site as well. Is there code change on the template, the plug-in or facebook code?

    I’m not sure if there is any code changes to the template, plugin, or facebook code – I personally have not made ANY changes to ANY code.

    The only thing I thought might have caused this(as it only turned to ‘false’ once I did this) – was whenever I clicked on the facebook share portion of the sharebar plugin myself, to share to my own facebook wall.

    Then all of a sudden it started saying false…

    It says false for every blog post of mine tho, when it used to have the numbers – ughh…I have no idea??

    looks like facebook may had the following code changed?

    layout=box_count

    So do you have a fix I could try? I’m not sure what to do, but I’m willing to do or try what I can…??

    Thanks!

    I already sent an email to them and noone has answered, typical…

    I checked my site through a browser other than Internet Explorer and the Facebook Share portion of the plugin was perfectly fine (back to the numbers). I checked using Firefox and Google Chrome.

    I used CCleaner and CleanUp! (which you can google and download to use for free) to clean my computer (only gets rid of junk, nothing you want to save) – then restart your computer, and the numbers worked perfectly fine again for all browsers.

    That worked for me, its all fixed now – hope it works for you as well, good luck! ??
