    Thanks for helping me to understand all this. And thanks for that link to sharedcount. I think I’ve got it now! I appreciate your time.

    Thanks for your reply. I guess I’m confused about what the like button at the end of my posts is supposed to be used for.

    I understand that when someone clicks the like button on Facebook directly, it’s between the content creator and that person. But what I’m having trouble with is when someone clicks the like button on my blog site nothing happens.

    On the backend of the plugin, under “What do you want the icons to do?”, I have “Like my blog on Facebook (+1)” selected. So I thought the point of having the facebook like button on my site was so users could like my blog/page directly from my website.

    But I had someone click like on my website and nothing happened on facebook or my site. The only reason that I knew she clicked like is because she told me. There was no interaction between the user and the creator of the content (me).

    If it’s just supposed to be counter on my website, then anyone could just click like over and over again, giving false numbers that aren’t actually connected to a social media account at all, right? Is this all these buttons are for?

    Like I said before, I have the counter disabled, so I’m wondering if there’s any point at all to my having the button on my site. It’s doing nothing for my facebook likes and I’m not notified in any way that someone clicked like, let alone being able to tell who that person is.

    If you can help me understand the point of having the “Like” button at the end of my blog posts that would be fantastic! Hope I’m making sense :).

    You found it! I removed the Mail Chimp sign-up and all the scripts for it in the header and footer and the product pictures now show. I re-activated the photo gallery plug-in and it’s working again too.
    I’m not sure what I’ll do about a mail chimp sign-up now, but that’s another topic :).
    Thank you so much for your time and help.

    Leo, Thank you for your help. I don’t know what a console error is, so I went ahead and deactivated the plugin. Then I cleared the cache and tried the product pages again. The pictures still are not showing up.

    The plugin is still deactivated. Any other thoughts?

    Another problem I’m noticing is that sometimes, when I click the category picture on the shop page, it takes me to the home page instead of to the category page. I thought it was just a one-time glitch, but it just happened again. I have no idea if these things could be related, but thought I’d mention it.
