Facebook share button overlays the content of my post

  • I’m having trouble with version 2.2 of the Social Sharing toolkit. I’ve got it set up to display the sharing buttons before post content. I’ve enabled the Facebook Sharing button.

    Sometimes, (but not all the time) the Facebook button is replaced by a small thumbnail of my Facebook profile picture with a link below it that says “Switch User.” That wouldn’t be so bad, but it generates the picture in a huge white block that goes all the way down the page, obscuring the content of my post. Not cool.

    If I click the “Switch User” link, it goes away. The Facebook share button displays normally and every thing is good again.

    I haven’t yet figured out what circumstances trigger this behavior. I’ve logged in and out of facebook to try to make it happen again, but that didn’t do it. If I figure out how to make it happen consistently, I’ll post a comment.

    Update on this. I hit the problem again and posted a screen shot of the problem here:

    Also, one thing I didn’t notice before is tat after a few seconds, maybe 20 or 30, the problem picture goes away and you can read the post. But the Facebook share button is missing.

    That’s some help. But when people land on the page and can’t read the content because of the problem, they are not going to wait 30 seconds for the problem to go away. They are going to immediately bounce off the page.

    I’m getting the exact same problem as cspowers. Carbon copy.

    It only does this when using Chrome for me. Firefox is fine.

    It also does it when I’m on other websites with the social buttons. Literally just started to do this within the last few weeks.

    I’ve got social sharing plugins on my wp site and get this huge white empty block for 20 or 30 seconds as cspowers mentions.

    Anyone got any thoughts??? This is pickling my noodle!!

    Apologies esmi, I thought with it being the same issue it would help to keep them together.

    Also to possibly help cspowers. I found that this is something to do with facebook restrictions.

    If I sign into my facebook account and then revisit my website or others with the facebook share button, the huge white empty block doesn’t happen. I do hope it gets fixed by the powers that be further down the line though!
