    Hello …

    I have researched a solution to this for the past two days but my code knowledge is limited to CSS and HTML rendering me clueless as to what i need to look for beyond the very obvious.

    The likes button is activated and set to all posts and will not show up. i have tried it all posts and per post, and it does not show even when implemented per post. She says it used to work, but since was a Jetpack setting that migrated with the site from WP.com free hosting to self-hosted on GoDaddy, I have no time frame reference regarding when it broke.

    the site is http://ellenmorrisprewitt.com/.

    thank you 🙂

    Could you go to Settings > Sharing in your dashboard, and make sure the sharing buttons and the likes are set to be displayed on single posts?

    Let me know how it goes.

    hi jeremy, thank you for replying.

    yes, i have turned this on and off for the various options listed several times. and did it again just now. no luck. i also noticed all the social sharing buttons are not working, either.

    i read in a similar thread about someone having a plugin importing an old version of javascript or jquery or java-something so i went through and turned plugins off and on. still no luck.

    i did create a child theme using lilaea child theme configurator, is it possible i need to update the java-thing in the child theme functions file? if so i am clueless, can you point me in the right direction?

    thank you, again! 🙂

    I looked at your site again, and noticed that the sharing buttons are there; they’re just hidden via some CSS in the Weaver II subtheme:

    .sharedaddy {display: none;}

    You can either remove the CSS to display the sharing buttons, or add the following CSS to your child theme stylesheet:

    #content .sharedaddy {
        display: block;
    }

    That won’t solve our Likes problem, though.

    If the Likes are set to be displayed on all posts, could you go to Posts > All Posts, click on one of the posts, and make sure the “Likes” checkbox is checked in the module appearing below the post editor?

    Let me know how it goes.

    i think it did fix the likes as well!

    at first it didn’t come up, but when i flushed the GoDaddy cache and viewed in new incognito window share buttons and likes were there! on the most recent one and on one from last march.

    thank you so much for your help! i’m marking this topic as resolved. 😀
