 * I’ve just added Sociable, and it seems to be ‘hooked’ in properly, and I have
   set the default to include on all posts and pages, and I have selected a few 
   sites, but nothing shows on my blog. What now?

 * same here: upgraded from 3.3.7 (?) to 3.4.3 and suddenly there aren’t any icons
   anymore, as if sociable was deactivated. i didn’t change anything in the theme-
   template though, single.php still contains the call for sociable_html(); and 
   sociable IS activated in the plugin-settings.
 * help? 🙂

 * I noticed that the icons had disappeared on the pages where they normally appeared.
   If I go to the sociableoff custom field I have to remove the ‘false’ from value
   and leave it blank. Then the icons will appear.
 * This had shown the icons with ‘false’ before. I will hold off changing anything
   for now.

 * Actually, if I just click on update for the page (without changing anything) 
   the false disappears and the icons can be seen on the page.
 * Another thing that I noticed is that the Sociable disabled check box then becomes
   checked and there is nothing that I can do to uncheck it. If I try to uncheck
   it, the next time I click on Update page it gets checked again.

 * In the later version (3.4.x that I can see) there’s a checkbox for “Sociable 
   Off” that seems to default to checked. Uncheck box, save, stuff works.
 * I don’t know if it’s a glitch or intentional that it defaults to disabled. Since
   I can’t find a global reactivation button (and the code implies that it should
   be “false”, I’m rolling back.

 * Same problem here, except I don’t have the old plugin file so I can’t rollback.
   I started experiencing this problem with the most recent update as well.

 * The WordPress codex holds all committed versions. Uninstall the current version
   first and grab whatever one you want to try from here -> [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sociable/download/](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sociable/download/)
 * I’m using one from the early 3.3 series without issue.

 * This way is too much difficult, but I succeded to resolve the problem.
 * 1. Download Sociable 3.4.3 pack.
    2. Extract, then open **sociable.php**. 3. 
   Edit code in **line 898**. Erase “**checked**” code. from `<input type="checkbox"
   id="sociableoff" name="sociableoff" <?php checked($sociableoff); ?>/> <label 
   for="sociableoff"><?php _e('Sociable disabled?','sociable') ?></label>` to `<
   input type="checkbox" id="sociableoff" name="sociableoff" <?php ($sociableoff);?
   >/> <label for="sociableoff"><?php _e('Sociable disabled?','sociable') ?></label
   >` 4. Upload them to your Sociable plugins folder. 5. Finally, **this is the 
   longest way**, update all of your post. This way make me boring. 6. Enjoy **Sociable
   3.4.3**.

 * Try this update around the same lines you mentioned before..
 * Find this..
 *     ```
       function sociable_meta() {
       	global $post;
       	$sociableoff = false;
       	$sociableoffmeta = get_post_meta($post->ID,'sociableoff',true);
       	if ($sociableoffmeta == "true" || $sociableoffmeta == true) {
       		$sociableoff = true;
       	}
       	?>
       	<input type="checkbox" id="sociableoff" name="sociableoff" <?php checked($sociableoff); ?>/> <label for="sociableoff"><?php _e('Sociable disabled?','sociable') ?></label>
       	<?php
       }
       ```
   
 * Change for..
 *     ```
       function sociable_meta( $sociableoff = false ) {
       	global $post;
       	$sociableoffmeta = get_post_meta($post->ID,'sociableoff',true);
       	// If $socialoffmeta doesn't exist, it's false already..
       	if($sociableoffmeta) {
       		// We're only here if it's true
       		switch($sociableoffmeta) {
       			// Make the case matching for turning off via field a little friendlier
       			case 'true':
       			case 'off':
       			case 'yes':
       			$sociableoff = true;
       			break;
       			// Catch space and empty value fields
       			case '':
       			case ' ':
       			default:
       			$sociableoff = false;
       			break;
       		}
       	}
       	?>
       	<input type="checkbox" id="sociableoff" name="sociableoff" <?php checked($sociableoff); ?>/> <label for="sociableoff"><?php _e('Sociable disabled?','sociable') ?></label>
       	<?php
       }

 * Same problem here.
 * I did both what mossackanme & t31os_ said, which didn’t work.
 * So I did a rollback, I guess the problem is when the plugin insert the code into
   the theme for be displayed, I guess is not working anymore for some reason.

 * Pretty sure (although i don’t use it), it’s due to the $socialoff variable…
 * That’s why i posted a change above…
 * I think the author has made some changes to standard behaviour.
 * It doesn’t look (as in – from what i can see) that there is any problem with 
   the code per say… just that there are different default behaviours…
 * Code posted was to try and help resolve, obviously it didn’t… 🙁
 * It’s pretty useless me posting code for the most part anyway, if the author doesn’t
   know about the problem, this will carry across versions..
 * The best thing you can do is report this to the author so he can include fixes
   in the next version, else you’ll be doing modificaions with every upgrade…

 * Ok almost have a working solution for this that has the added benefit of being
   about 10 times faster. There’s one issue: it’s not backwards compatible, this
   means that you’ll have to go through the pages where you want to have sociable
   disabled and set it disabled again, for one time…
