# Loading Like Button

 *  Resolved [lifehappensoutside](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lifehappensoutside/)

 * [12 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/loading-like-button/)
 * I installed Jetpack and everything works well except the like button at the bottom
   of each post on [my site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/loading-like-button/www.life-happens-outside.com?output_format=md).
   It takes a while to load the button on pages but sometimes it eventually works.
   On posts it never works (or possibly takes days?).
 * I tried disabling all pulgins and switching browsers and the like button was 
   still loading.
 * I also switched my theme to twenty twelve and the like button loaded quickly 
   on all posts and pages. I [talked to my theme designer](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/jetpack-like-button-loading-supernova?replies=5)
   and he thinks the problem isn’t one he can help with.
 * Anything I can do to the theme (which is wonderful in all other ways) to fix 
   this up?
 * From what I’ve read it seems like Jetpack’s like button isn’t very compatible
   with jQuery?
 * Thanks for the help.

 * I’m sorry for the late reply, I didn’t see your post last week.
 * In any case, I do see the Likes loading on some of your posts, but not on all.
   Were some of your posts imported from a WordPress.com site, by any chance? There
   is a known bug with imported posts and likes.
 * However, on this post, I see 2 Javascript errors:
 * [http://life-happens-outside.com/who-am-i-again/](http://life-happens-outside.com/who-am-i-again/)
 * The js errors will prevent the Likes from loading properly. I am not sure what
   is inserting these lines of code in your site:
 * `jQuery("#top_most, #media_nav").sticky({ topSpacing: 0 });`
 * and
 *     ```
       jQuery(window).load(function(){
             jQuery('.flexslider').flexslider({
               animation: "slide" ,
               start: function(slider){
                 jQuery('body').removeClass('loading');
               }});});
       ```
   
 * They do look like they were put in by the theme though, but I can’t know that
   for sure. I’d bring it to the theme author’s attention again, and if he can’t
   or won’t fix it, we’ll look at how to fix it ourselves; I won’t be helping you
   correct the error though, I’ll just tell you how to remove that code, and doing
   so may or may not break other functionality for the theme.
 * Let me know what he says!

 * Thanks for getting back to me!
 * I just sent him your message and we’ll see what he says. None of my posts are
   imported and I just posted a new one and the problem persists.
 * I did notice though that the like button is always loading at the bottom of the
   post(page) but there is a working version on the side panel of all posts and 
   pages. does that clarify things? I’ll let you know if he helped.

 * Thanks for the help! He fixed his theme!
 * though the like button still has issues on ‘category’ pages. I’m not too worried
   about that but thought you might be interested.
 * It also is showing up on my widget side panel. but again. not a big deal.
 * thanks again.

 * I still see the js error on this page: [http://life-happens-outside.com/who-am-i-again/](http://life-happens-outside.com/who-am-i-again/)
 * BUT I was able to like the post. I also randomly visited several posts, and all
   of them had the Likes loading properly, and I was able to Like each one. Can 
   you tell me if you still have the problem? On which posts? Did you empty your
   browser’s cache?

 * I emptied the cache of my site and the browsers on two different computers and
   waited a few days to see if things stabilized. I doesn’t seem to be working for
   the new posts. [http://life-happens-outside.com/story-t-shirt-quilt/](http://life-happens-outside.com/story-t-shirt-quilt/)
   or [http://life-happens-outside.com/much-little-done-things/](http://life-happens-outside.com/much-little-done-things/)
   but it sometimes works for a few other random ones?
 * for all the posts the button loads but ends up on the side widgets. you were 
   able to like the post and it shows up on the side. [http://life-happens-outside.com/who-am-i-again/](http://life-happens-outside.com/who-am-i-again/)
 * the button is on the side for the pages too.
 * sorry to be such a pain.

 * I was able to Like the [http://life-happens-outside.com/story-t-shirt-quilt/](http://life-happens-outside.com/story-t-shirt-quilt/)
   post but the button. I was also able to Like [http://life-happens-outside.com/much-little-done-things/](http://life-happens-outside.com/much-little-done-things/)
   but not the 1st time it loaded. I think it’s possibly because the post took a
   long time to load, because the first image is really large; you should resize
   images that are that large before uploading them to your site. However, I also
   see js errors on both of those posts, so that may cause the intermitten problems
   with the Like button as well. The theme author needs to get those fixed up. This
   is what I see:
 * `Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'SupernovaSticky'`
 * Lastly, for the Like button in the sidebar widget, this is because the widget
   is likely pulling in the content from a pre-defined post. As such, the Likes 
   button thinks that you have a nother post there, and the Like button is added
   to it. You have 2 options to fix it:
 * 1) The better option: Use a basic Text Widget instead of whatever is actually
   there; [http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/](http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/)(
   yes, that is from WordPress.com but in this case, the widget is the same). You
   can include any html in the text widget, including the <img> tag needed for the
   image.
 * 2) The less efficient option: add some CSS to your site to hide the Like and 
   sharing buttons in the widget:
 *     ```
       .widget_simpleimage .sharedaddy {
       display:none;
       }
       ```
   
 * That will hide both the sharing buttons and the Like button.

 * For
    `Uncaught TypeError: Object [object Object] has no method 'SupernovaSticky'`
   go to Supernova Options > Advanced and turn off this opiton “Turn Off Sticky 
   Navigation”.
