FYI, is this plugin still supported? @jaredatch @billerickson
It’s still supported in that it still works, I use it on every website I build, and I still actively add new features as clients request them (see AMP support, only increase share counts, etc).
But the free support I offer through ww.wp.xz.cn support forums is limited to my free time, of which I have very little.
I’m not sure why you are having issues with the Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn buttons. They work fine on the sites I’ve tested. Have you gone to Settings > Shared Counts and set it to include those buttons?

I see thanks for the answer Bill.
Yes all is enabled but only a few that displays frontend:

Can you share a link to the page that has this issue?
Also, have you made any code customizations to the plugin (ex: implemented any of these tutorials)?

The local environment at the moment. I could try to share over email since I run flywheel so can enable an external link if you could check right away.
Share you email and I will share with you.

No customization at all just using the shortcode. Also tried auto insert before/after post. But facing the same issue.

@billerickson any update on this? Since it doesn’t work I will most probably only use the count function and use a custom solution for share buttons.
Is the cache API used for fetching the counts only loading on the pages it’s used on or can I restrict it to cpt or specific post types only? Since it is not used on normal pages I wouldn’t like to load the code.

For some reason it works now. But have some questions:
what is the difference between facebook and facebook share button? https://tppr.me/GnUIZ
Both show the same href url frontend.
The sharing URL is the same, but the social count is different. “Facebook” shows the combined total of FB likes, shares, and comments.
The API is only queried when (a) the share button is shown for that page, and (b) the data is old enough that it needs refreshing.
It will not query for data on pages that don’t include the share buttons.

Ok many thanks for the explanation.

Thanks again, and css is only loaded on the specific post where it is used, thanks.
