LinkedIn button not appearing, twitter button broken?

Linked in should be fixed with the 1.0.7 update. Twitter disabled the count API so we are currently unable to display the counts. We are looking into options using various services to restore this functionality but right now this requires some added work that removes the “simple” from simple share.

If you are at 1.0.7 can you please share a link to your site so I can see what is happening with the LinkedIn button?

I’m in the process of working on this site, as I’m sure you’ll be able to tell, but here it is: https://alexgunderman.com/hello-world/

Alex, sorry for the confusion. I had some things out of sync with github version and the wp.org version. Long story short it caused the 1.0.7 update to be wrong. The fix should have been applied via a new version, which it is. 1.0.8 is the corrected version and should be showing on your site once everything syncs up and your site checks to see if there is an update.

This will get the LinkedIn button working (assuming certain server issues don’t apply which can affect the method we switched to).

Let me know if this doesn’t get the button working for you.

Button is now appearing, thanks very much.

How come copyblogger is able to show their twitter share counts?

Alex,

We had to do some custom things to make it work with a third party count service. It requires customizing the plugin to use a different count service and then using that third party service. It works … most of the time. There are several times the counts have gone down, incorrectly reported, and several other things so we aren’t ready to pull the trigger on this for everyone (blanket functional button without counts is better than a quasi working solution we may have to change which requires additional setup).

Once the service we are using is more bullet proof or we get a solution that is we will work on setting up an advanced option which will allow the counts to work again … hopefully with minimal setup and zero problems ??

Sounds great, thanks for all the help Nick!
