 * Hello to all
    I have installed your plugin in a number of sites – WP installations
   as replacement for the Jetpack Share Buttons module. However in 2 of them the
   share count on the FB button is not the same as the one counted by the jetpack
   or it appears as zero. On the other buttons the counts match up The WP theme 
   is the same in all cases and the layout The 2 sites that we have problem uses
   permalink structure ?=id where the other use custom permalink structure Any solutions?

 * Hi,
    Same issue for me (on my 2 sites), the FB counter does not work anymore (
   I use /%postname%/ permalink structure). Still at zero even if I have some likes
   on Facebook. I didn’t change anything. Regards, Tamenori

 * I also am having the same problem. Twitter and LinkedIn shares are counted and
   displayed, but 2 days ago we lost all share counts for facebook on all of our
   posts. It now displays 0, when the actual number is much higher!
 * Any help would be appreciated!!

   there have been shares.
    Please help!

 * I’m guessing this is something to do with the limit on the amount of requests
   your allowed to sending to graph.facebook.com without an api from the same server/
   ip, though I could be mistaken.
 * Plugin authors should integrate an option to allow you to put your api details
   in and thus you’ll increase the amount of requests (drastically) that you’re 
   allowed to to send to facebook to return back the share values.
 * I had a similar problem here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-use-object-of-type-stdclass-as-array-2?replies=3](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-use-object-of-type-stdclass-as-array-2?replies=3)

 * Hi all,
 * [Please review the information on this page](https://simplesharebuttons.com/plus/features/api/)
   which should explain what’s going on, for Facebook at least. Further social share
   counts will be added if it becomes a requirement.
 * Thanks,
 * David
