Short blog posts on home page don't show social share buttons right away. (3 posts)

    Hi

    We have relatively short blog post entries, and while I do have dynamic share buttons (Like, Tweet, Google+ added to the custom.css file) and a social sharing/bookmarking plug-in) you only see these buttons if you click on the blog title/permalink. So, we have these blog posts showing up on the home page, but no buttons showing, and I'm afraid that people are reading the post in entirety and not feeling like they have to click further on the post (and hence see the buttons)

    Is there a way to have these codes show up without having to click to the post's URL...or should I just insert a More tab on the posts for people to click thru. It just seems kind of silly when our posts are fairly short in length.

    Here are the codes for the dynamic share buttons (I work on Thesis). The plugin is called "Share and Follow"

    [CODE]/*dynamic share buttons for posts*/
    .custom .post_box { position:relative; }
    .custom .social-post { left:-8.6em; position:absolute; top:3.0em; }
    .custom .counter-twitter { margin-bottom:1.4em; margin-left:0em; }
    .custom .counter-fb-like { margin-bottom:1.6em; margin-left:0.5em; }
    .custom .counter-google-one { margin-bottom:1.4em; margin-left:0.2em; }[/CODE]

    I had the same problem.

    I fixed it by checking "home page" in the "Where to show the share icons" in the "Share Icons Setup"

    I hope this helps!
