# Twitter Share Count

 * Whenever I make a new blog post, there is always a count for the Twitter share,
   so I always have to manually set it to zero when posting. Does anyone know why
   there would be a share count for something immediately upon publishing?

 * Not sure why it’s happening. If you give me url of the webpage where you are 
   facing this issue, would be able to help.

 * It’s happening on every post of my site except for the first one. Here’s an example.

 * You can check yourself. The Twitcount API [https://counts.twitcount.com/counts.php?url=https://www.paukenpress.com/how-we-got-our-bibles-part-2-catholic-and-evangelical-errors/](https://counts.twitcount.com/counts.php?url=https://www.paukenpress.com/how-we-got-our-bibles-part-2-catholic-and-evangelical-errors/)
   is returning 1 as the number of Twitter shares for your webpage. You can replace

   in the mentioned API with the url of any other webpage and check the number of
   Twitter shares yourself.

 * Yes, I know, because I manually had to set it. I’m writing a post now and in 
   the preview, it says it has 34 shares, which is obviously not true. I’m setting
   the share count to zero and the post preview still says 34.

 * Shares are tracked on url basis. The urls of preview page and the published page
   are different. That’s why there is difference.

 * Share count options for individual post/page are for the published version of
   that page/post. Why are you concerned about the shares of the preview of a page?

 * Here’s an example from a post I just published. Immediately upon publishing it
   said that the share count was 34. [https://www.paukenpress.com/behold-our-triune-god-reflections-on-the-trinity-conference/](https://www.paukenpress.com/behold-our-triune-god-reflections-on-the-trinity-conference/)
