   I can't select the various icon size or style options. Also when I click on the link" Click to change order of social buttons or modify list of buttons." nothing happens. I've tried using Chrome, safari and firefox to no avail. Suggestions?

   Hi Annie,
   Tried changing the sharethis setting for a wordpress blog from the sharethis configuration page.It seems to be working fine.

   The issue "The settings are not updated from configuration page" occurs only when the plugin conflicts with any of the plugins added to the blog /if the plugin is not compatible with the theme being used.

   Can you please try re-installing the plugin?
   Please let me know if it still doesn't work for you.

   Thanks for the reply. I've deleted and re-installed ShareThis, also completed deleted simple share, thinking that was the culprit. And still am having the same problems -- I'm not able to select a display style for the social buttons. I'm using Thesis 1.8.5 as my theme. Annie

   Hi Annie,
   Sometimes sharethis plugin isn't compatible with a theme being used.
   In that case, you can try adding the buttons manually to your wordpress blog but please note that it's a little bit tricky.
   Here are the steps:

   Sharethis script and span tags go on the page where you want the buttons to appear and they also determine what kind of button appears as well as what URL and title it shares. You will have to put 'script tags' in your Main index template(index.php) and 'span tags' in Single Post template(single.php).

   Here is the basic span for just the ShareThis button: <span class='st_sharethis' st_title='<?php the_title(); ?>' st_url='<?php the_permalink(); ?>' displayText='ShareThis'></span>

   You can change the class of the span to determine the button that appears. For example class='st_twitter' will make a twitter icon and class='st_email_vcount' will make a email vertical counter button.

   However, adding code in index.php and single.php will not display sharethis buttons on the blog page but will show buttons whenever an individual post is opened.
   If you wish to display sharethis buttons on the blog page ,you will have to put 'span tags' in (loop.php).

   In loop.php,
   1. put span tags just above the line "<div class="entry-utility">" to display buttons at the end of each post on the blog page.

   <span class='st_twitter' ></span>
   <span class='st_facebook' ></span>
   <span class='st_yahoo' ></span>
   <span class='st_gbuzz' ></span>
   <span class='st_email' ></span>
   <span class='st_sharethis' ></span>
   <div class="entry-utility">

   2. to display buttons at the beginning of each post on the blog page,put span tags just below the lines

   <h2 class="entry-title">" title="<?php printf( esc_attr__( 'Permalink to %s', 'twentyten' ), the_title_attribute( 'echo=0' ) ); ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
   <div class="entry-meta">
   <?php twentyten_posted_on(); ?>
   </div><!-- .entry-meta -->
   <?php if ( is_archive() || is_search() ) : // Only display excerpts for archives and search. ?>
