Title: Plugin started adding shares for no reason Last modified: August 22, 2016 --- # Plugin started adding shares for no reason * Resolved [Vladi Vasilev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/veronltdgmailcom/) * (@veronltdgmailcom) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-started-adding-shares-for-no-reason/) * Hey there, * after the last update the plugin suddenly started adding shares to every new article I publish and I have no idea why. * The article is fine until I hit the publish button. Then all the sudden 2.4K shares automatically appear. * It was all fine prior to that. * Let me know how to fix that. * thanks Vladi * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/mashsharer/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/mashsharer/) Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total) * Thread Starter [Vladi Vasilev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/veronltdgmailcom/) * (@veronltdgmailcom) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-started-adding-shares-for-no-reason/#post-5619822) * Deleting the database cache fixed it. * It’s all fine now. * [Rene Hermenau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/renehermi/) * (@renehermi) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-started-adding-shares-for-no-reason/#post-5620005) * Good to hear. I ll check what could be the reason for this. With one of the next updates i create a new function which bypass any cache system. * Thread Starter [Vladi Vasilev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/veronltdgmailcom/) * (@veronltdgmailcom) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-started-adding-shares-for-no-reason/#post-5620035) * I was just about to start another thread about this… * I have to constantly delete the DB cache for the plugin to work properly, but when I do it messes up all share counts on all posts. * I hope you have a fix for that as soon as possible * Thanks * [Rene Hermenau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/renehermi/) * (@renehermi) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-started-adding-shares-for-no-reason/#post-5620040) * Hi Vladi, * this is on my list of highest priority. But there are tons of things to do at the moment, so please give me some more days. May i ask you which Cache Plugin you are using? * > but when I do it messes up all share counts on all posts. * What you mean by that? This should not happened, so i like to reproduce that error. * Are counts going to zero, or what do you mean with messes up? * Thread Starter [Vladi Vasilev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/veronltdgmailcom/) * (@veronltdgmailcom) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-started-adding-shares-for-no-reason/#post-5620041) * Hi there Rene, * no probs, will just delete the cache until you get it done. * I’m using W3 Total cache and have no idea why it does that. I’ve been using the plugin for a few months now and it used to work just perfect before… i haven’t changed anything either. * It just started adding the shares after the last update for no reason, but I know you are busy, I’ll just keep deleting the cache for now. * Vladi thanks * [Rene Hermenau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/renehermi/) * (@renehermi) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-started-adding-shares-for-no-reason/#post-5620042) * I just want to be sure to understand you right: * The first problem is solved and no more wrong shares are added -> “Then all the sudden 2.4K shares automatically appear.” * But the second problem is persistent and new shares are only accumulated when you purged your W3 Total Cache? * Thread Starter [Vladi Vasilev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/veronltdgmailcom/) * (@veronltdgmailcom) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-started-adding-shares-for-no-reason/#post-5620048) * the problem is all the same… Mashsharer is adding shares for no reason, and it’s not the w3 cache plugin. * Something is wrong with your plugin and it happened after that last update. * Nothing is soled, the plugin still adds shares due to an unknown reason… and I have to clear the database cache (via your plugin) all the time to turn them back to normal. * But when I clear the cache all the shares get messed up before they go back to normal. * Vladi * [Rene Hermenau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/renehermi/) * (@renehermi) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-started-adding-shares-for-no-reason/#post-5620075) * Hi Vladi, * > the plugin still adds shares due to an unknown reason * soory about the delay. Thats weird, this should not happen. Is it possible to check this on your site, maybe you could create a developer account for me or have a staging platform where i can test this? * You can reach me info at mashshare.net * Thread Starter [Vladi Vasilev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/veronltdgmailcom/) * (@veronltdgmailcom) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-started-adding-shares-for-no-reason/#post-5620077) * No problem, * just created the account and emailed you the details. * Thanks Vladi * [Rene Hermenau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/renehermi/) * (@renehermi) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-started-adding-shares-for-no-reason/#post-5620078) * perfect – I feel better when i find a fix for this:-) * [evette23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/evette23/) * (@evette23) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-started-adding-shares-for-no-reason/#post-5620112) * Sorry abt bumping in but I seem to be getting the same issue. I’ve monitored abt a month (even deactivating my cache plugin) and have to delete the cache after some time (~3-5 days) as the share counts for certain posts get messed up (bloated up to 2.3k count). * [Rene Hermenau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/renehermi/) * (@renehermi) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-started-adding-shares-for-no-reason/#post-5620113) * Hello Evette, * possible to send me credentials to your site, so i can check this? support [ at] mashshare.net * [Rene Hermenau](https://wordpress.org/support/users/renehermi/) * (@renehermi) * [11 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-started-adding-shares-for-no-reason/#post-5620114) * I also need a url to this pages.
