 * this plugin uses the old deprecated FB share code
    even facebook says to use 
   LIKE code not share code
 * please update this plugin to use correct current FB code???
 * `<a href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=' . get_permalink( $post->ID )`
   == OLD DEPRECATED CODE???????
 * maybe you could use something like
 * `'<a href="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=' . urlencode( get_permalink(
   $post->ID ) )` == NEWER LIKE CODE??????

 * Maybe for this reason it shows 0 in the Facebook counter.
    I hope for ad update.

 * Hi,
 * I’m not sure where you got the idea that the sharer.php option is deprecated 
   code, if you can share where you believe to have found this I would be curious
   to see it.
 * I regularly browse Facebook’s official docs and have seen no trace of what you
   have mentioned whatsoever.
 * NebulosaWeb, with regards to Facebook share counts, please take a moment to review
   the information on this page – [https://simplesharebuttons.com/plus/features/api/](https://simplesharebuttons.com/plus/features/api/)
 * Thanks,
 * David
