Title: Sharing button does not appear in forums Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # Sharing button does not appear in forums * Resolved [craftersuniversity](https://wordpress.org/support/users/craftersuniversity/) * (@craftersuniversity) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sharing-button-does-not-appear-in-forums/) * I’m using bbPress 2.5.3 and have enabled “Forum” and “Topic” in the “Show buttons on” in the “Sharing sections of “Settings”, but they still do not appear on any page generated by bbPress. I’ve tried Twenty Twelve without a child as well, no dice. Is bbPress not supported? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jetpack/) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Contributor [Richard Archambault](https://wordpress.org/support/users/richardmtl/) * (@richardmtl) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sharing-button-does-not-appear-in-forums/#post-4671164) * Hi there, * I think it should, so could you open an issue on github for this? There, we can get our bbPress expert to look at it: * [https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/new](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/new) * Thanks! * Thread Starter [craftersuniversity](https://wordpress.org/support/users/craftersuniversity/) * (@craftersuniversity) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sharing-button-does-not-appear-in-forums/#post-4671169) * I’m sorry, but isn’t this the official support pages for Jetpack plugin? Why do i need to go to another site? * Plugin Contributor [Richard Archambault](https://wordpress.org/support/users/richardmtl/) * (@richardmtl) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sharing-button-does-not-appear-in-forums/#post-4671171) * Hi, bbPress doesn’t support the sharing icons, so this isn’t a bug with Jetpack. I’ve opened an issue for you in any case, to see if there’s a way we can make the sharing icons appear without getting bbPress to change their code. * [https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/426](https://github.com/Automattic/jetpack/issues/426) * Plugin Author [Jeremy Herve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeherve/) * (@jeherve) * Jetpack Mechanic 🚀 * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sharing-button-does-not-appear-in-forums/#post-4671172) * Until we fix this bug in Jetpack, you should be able to fix the problem on your site by adding this code snippet to your theme’s functions.php or to a functionality plugin: [https://gist.github.com/deckerweb/4706862](https://gist.github.com/deckerweb/4706862) * Thread Starter [craftersuniversity](https://wordpress.org/support/users/craftersuniversity/) * (@craftersuniversity) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sharing-button-does-not-appear-in-forums/#post-4671174) * Thanx a lot Jeremy, it worked like a charm! 🙂 You don’t happen to have a similar code snippet for adding the share button to BuddyPress activities? * Plugin Author [Jeremy Herve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeherve/) * (@jeherve) * Jetpack Mechanic 🚀 * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sharing-button-does-not-appear-in-forums/#post-4671175) * I’m afraid I’m not really familiar with BuddyPress. I would suggest posting in their support forums, someone should be able to help you by giving you the filter you can hook into on these Activity pages. You can then add one more line to the previous code snippet, like so: * `add_action( 'filter_name', 'ddw_jetpack_sharing_bbpress');` * Thread Starter [craftersuniversity](https://wordpress.org/support/users/craftersuniversity/) * (@craftersuniversity) * [12 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sharing-button-does-not-appear-in-forums/#post-4671177) * Will do. Thanx again for the code, it works great! 🙂 * Thread Starter [craftersuniversity](https://wordpress.org/support/users/craftersuniversity/) * (@craftersuniversity) * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sharing-button-does-not-appear-in-forums/#post-4671190) * When my Jetpack sharing started to fail becaouse of some faulty .php file, i whent through all my childs .php files and i noticed that this code does not have a trailing ?>. Is this correct coding? * Plugin Author [Jeremy Herve](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jeherve/) * (@jeherve) * Jetpack Mechanic 🚀 * [12 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/sharing-button-does-not-appear-in-forums/#post-4671191) * Yes. Omitting the closing PHP tag is quite common, and won’t cause any issues.
