Topic: Jetpack Update has messed up the sharing button layout.

in forum Support

Hi,

I just updated my Jetpack and now the sharing buttons on my posts are all messed up.

They used to be all streamlined at the bottom of each post with the logo of the social media as the buttons, but now it just comes out as text links and they are being displayed as a list.

The options on the sharing section are still the same apart from a few small changes (can’t choose which type of button you want), but for example if you click show ‘logo and icon’ or show ‘icon only’ it only comes out as ‘text only’ links. On the live preview on the sharing setting page, it displays correctly, but when I save changes it doesn’t match on my site.

Here is an example of what it looks like now: http://www.kingsays.com/2012/08/02/beyonce-to-direct-and-star-in-a-documentary-about-her-life/

Also they are being displayed as bullet points whereas before they were in a neat horizontal line.

Please HELP!

Thanks

King

Opening or closing an option box itself doesn’t save any of the options. You will have to click on the “Save Options” button before the options are saved. So.. yeah, I guess somehow Safari this triggering that as well, or it triggered the reset options button.

i left it logged on for several hours and it just reset itself again. it was a session in safari and the graphene options – top bar was left open. I have the feeling that that is causing the problem.

stuation:

graphene options – top bar is visable (clicked on it to open to show the options) and leave it that way .. so not closing that option!

i left it open for several hours .. imac goes into ‘sleeping mode’

i reactivated the imac and refreshed the website and guess what .. all is set back to default

the deleted RSS icon is back and all other three icons are gone … the footer is also back to the default setting

so i guess that there is somewhere a trigger to update the database with the default settings

I add these under “Appearance” – “Graphene Options”. Then I just checked the box “show social sharing button”. I never had to add any code in the box. All the sharing options just appeared.

You’re welcome, Mango!

As for the Twitter and G+ buttons, you should search for an appropriate plugin in WordPress Plugins.

I don’t know exactly what “preferred” numbers mean but, for me, it always shows the social sharing buttons last used.

“…the last Social Sharing button always drops down to next line.” – I don’t get it. Your icons just look fine to me.

For that, you should simply go to your Graphene theme options, under the basic settings you will find something like “Social Sharing (Buttons)”, tick “Show Buttons” on, set “Social Sharing Buttons Location” to ‘Bottom of Posts’, and copy this code into the textbox:

<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->

<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style">

<a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a>

<a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a>

<a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a>

<a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a>

<a class="addthis_button_compact"></a>

<a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>

</div>

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=xa-4fc0ce9536a72cd1"></script>

<!-- AddThis Button END -->

You can configure this code according to your taste on this site.

Good look! 🙂

Ok, I’m full of questions today, and I really appreciate the assistance. When I use this widget to ad social buttons to the top it looks great. However when I click on a share button, it is sharing the page, not the post.

I have tried to use the php widget plugin and add the code in there, but i cannot seem to get it to work properly.

Would this be some kind of function that I have to create? Thanks. Help is appreciated.

That suggestion was A-OK perfect. Worked like a charm along with widget-lodgic. As you can tell I am not a css pro, so if you can quickly hint how to move it to the right rather than the left, would be awesome!!! Thanks again!
