would like sharing buttons on top of pages

Dazzling
1

I’ve tried about five social plugins and can only get the social icons to show up on the home page.

Seems like there’s something blocking them from showing up on other pages. (I have used them in other themse and they show up above and below every page or post.)

I am using the jetpack sharing icons that show up at the bottom, but my client would like them to be on top of the page.

Any idea on how to fix this? I’ve determined it’s not the plugin, that there must be something in the theme that blocks them from appearing.

website is petalumatrolley.org

Hi @johnbyrnebarry,

I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

I can see it is also displaying on other pages of your site like Trestle Potential – Petaluma Trolley as shown in the attached screenshot.

Please advise.

Best Regards,
Movin

I’m trying to get them to show up on the top of pages and the only page that seems to work on is the home page. I’ve tried a number of plugins and all have the same result.

Yes, I can get them at the bottom, without a plugin, just with the Dazzling theme.

I imagine that the theme is somehow blocking the top of the page use. (I have used these plugsins with other themes and the icons show up on every page.

Thank you.

I tested it on my test site using the plugin “Share Buttons by AddThis” that you are using on your site and configuring it the same way but the buttons are displaying fine on my test site as shown in the attached screenshot.

Have you made any changes in the Dazzling theme files?

Could you please temporary try using fresh version of Dazzling theme without any modifications?

This can be due to plugin conflict on your site so please try temporary deactivating all other plugins except this plugin and see whether everything works fine and then enable the plugins one by one to see which plugin is conflicting if any.

Thanks for troubleshooting this.

I just disabled all the plugins and still it’s only on the front page.

The only modification I made to Dazzling was one simple CSS to change the type size:

.entry-meta a {
font-size: 18px;
}

I have used many of these plugins on other sites. Looks like I’ll just have to use them on the bottom.

Could you please temporary try deleting the Dazzling theme on your site and using fresh version of Dazzling theme?

I just came back to this. Deleted Dazzling. Then added fresh version. Same problem. Buttons only show on home page. Tried three different plugsins. Same problem with all three.

I use simple share buttons with Genesis on a different site and works fine on all pages and posts. Seems like it’s something specific to Dazzling.

Not sure why it is happening on your site but working fine on my test site.

It would be better if you contact the plugin developer and find out the reason.
