Hello,
Apologies for the delayed response.

ShareThis buttons show the count of number of times that button was used to share the page. So, the count on ShareThis button can be different from the count on Sharing buttons of other social plug-in.

Hope this clarifies the behaviour of counts on ShareThis buttons. For information related to native counts, you can refer our FAQs page –

Hello,
Aplogies for the delayed response.

I just checked this link -https://www.bakeshot.com/category/blog/ on Firefox and the FB like pop-up appeared properly. Can you please let me know if this is an issue on any other specific browser / URL ?

Hello,
Apologies for the delayed response.
You can do so by using a single quote (‘) instead of double (“) as shown below –
<div class=’name-here’>

Hope this is helpful.

Hello,
Apologies for the delayed response.

Have you added the second set of buttons manually to your blog site ?
Ideally, the second set of buttons shouldn’t show up.
If not, you can try deactivating and then re-installing the latest WP plug-in from this page –

Please let us know if the issue persists.

Hello,
Unfortunately, changing the position of ShareThis buttons is not supported right now.
We may include this feature in the future releases. We can provide you guidelines to add the ShareThis code manually to your blog to achieve this.

You can add the buttons the way you want by following these instructions.
—
Sharethis span tags go on the page where you want the buttons to appear and they also determine what kind of button appears as well as what URL and title it shares. You will have to put ‘script tags’ in your Main index template(index.php) and ‘span tags’ in Single Post template(single.php).

Here is the basic span for just the ShareThis button:
<span class=”st_sharethis” st_title='<?php the_title(); ?>’ st_url='<?php the_permalink(); ?>’ displayText=”ShareThis”></span>

You can change the class of the span to determine the button that appears. For example class=”st_twitter” will make a twitter icon and class=”st_email_vcount” will make a email vertical counter button.

However, adding code in index.php and single.php will not display sharethis buttons on the blog page but will show buttons whenever an individual post is opened.
If you wish to display sharethis buttons on the blog page ,you will have to put ‘span tags’ in (loop.php).

In loop.php,
1. To display buttons at the end of each post on the blog page. put span tags just above the line “<div class=”entry-utility”>”

<span class=’st_sharethis’ ></span>
<div class=”entry-utility”>

2. To display buttons at the beginning of each post on the blog page,put span tags just below the lines

<h2 class=”entry-title”>” title=”<?php printf( esc_attr__( ‘Permalink to %s’, ‘twentyten’ ), the_title_attribute( ‘echo=0’ ) ); ?>” rel=”bookmark”><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<div class=”entry-meta”>
<?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
</div><!– .entry-meta –>
<?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>

Please note that you might need to do a few tweaks as different WordPress themes can have different implementations of template.

Hello,
The option to change the “via @sharethis” for the button on ShareThis Hoverbar is not present right now. So you can only modify the “via @sharethis” for Sharing buttons on your blog(and not for the ones on the Hoverbar).

Hello,
Right now the option to show the buttons conditionally (showing on post pages but not on post excerpts) is not present on our WP plug-in.
I have forwarded this suggestion to our Development team.

Hello,
Are you trying to update the code udner “Click to view/modify the HTML tags.” option from ShareThis’s plugin configuration page after disabling “Add to posts/Add to pages” option ? This won’t show buttons on your page as you have disabled the option to show ShareThis buttons on Posts and Pages.

Hello,
Can you please check the /wp-content/plugins folder of your WP installation and see if ShareThis is still present there.
If not, you can try clearing the cache for WP (in case you are using a any WP cache plug-in)

Hello,
Thanks for pointing this out. We’ll make sure that we make necessary changes in the upcoming releases to resolve this.

Hello,
Facebook grabs share information from the Open Graph meta tags on your website. So, if you wish to remove the description, you can simply change the og:description tag to this –
<meta property=”og:description” content=” ” />

Hope this information is helpful.

Hello,

Can you please try re-installing the sharethis plugin on your blog and check ?
If the issue is still not solved then it might be the issue because of sharethis plugin incompatibility with any of the plugins added to your blog OR with the theme you are using for your blog.

In that case, you will have to add the buttons manually to your wordpress blog.
Please let us know if you want the steps to add the buttons manually to your blog.

The ShareThis Support Team
