Sharing buttons automatically disappear intermittently

    To the developers of the plugin:

    We’re having some issues in our blog related to AddThis plugin: after some updates, in certain posts, addthis sharing buttons are OK but in others they disappeared without any reason. They were automatically uncheck in “AddThis for WordPress” section.
    In this case we have to edit the post and check manually “Show AddThis sharing buttons” box in “AddThis for WordPress” section.
    This problem is intermittent, so it occurs or not.

    Take a look at: https://www.materiaincognita.com.br

    1. This post is OK, with sharing buttons: https://wp.me/pWKVo-Z0A

    2. This other one is NOT OK*, with no sharing buttons (automatically unchecked box in “AddThis for WordPress” section): https://wp.me/pWKVo-YZo

    *There are lots of other posts without sharing buttons but we don’t know which they are.

    We have almost 6000 posts and it’s impossible to check one by one, so, we’d like to ask you a way to check all “Show AddThis sharing buttons” box in all posts directly in database.

    Which is the correct SQL command to do this?

    Thank you a lot for your attention and comprehension.

    Hi Marcos.

    Thanks for reaching out to use about your issue. The below query will give you a list of all your posts with AddThis sharing buttons disabled via that checkbox: 

    SELECT wp_posts.ID, wp_posts.post_title, wp_posts.guid
FROM wp_postmeta
LEFT JOIN wp_posts
       ON wp_postmeta.post_id = wp_posts.ID
WHERE wp_postmeta.meta_key = '_at_widget'
AND wp_postmeta.meta_value = 0;

    This bug has been reported before, and we’ve been working on a fix. I think we finally have one, and expect it to be released with 5.0.7. If you’d like to test this fix before it’s released, you can reach out to us at [email protected].

    Hi Marcos.

    5.0.7 was released this morning and we believe it resolves this issue. With 5.0.7 you should no longer see posts with AddThis sharing buttons enabled become disabled over time.

    However, posts that had the buttons disabled by this bug in the past will still need to be updated to enable them.

    If we’re mistaken and you see this bug again in 5.0.7 or future releases, please feel free to reach out to us here or at [email protected].

    Hi Julka!

    Thanks for your reply.

    That SQL query gave us a list of 216 posts without AddThis sharing buttons.

    Do we have to mark them one by one or we can use another SQL query to mark all of them with only one command?

    Thanks for your attention!

    Hi Marco.

    Yup, sorry Marco.

    Our team isn’t comfortable handing out SQL queries that will write to someone’s database, and we’re not sure whether automatically changing those won’t cause you other issues with those posts. ??

    No problem Julka.

    I’ll fix all remaining posts manually.
    Thank you for your kindness!

    :o)

    P.S. AddThis plugin is completely OK now!
