In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] Cannot edit since upgraded to ver. 3.3.3On reading this thread, I am perhaps lucky that I have been unable to upgrade. I receive the following note that my upgrade has failed. Site is osburnt.com. What should I do?
Updating Plugin Akismet Anti-Spam (1/1)
Downloading update from https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/akismet.3.3.3.zip…
Unpacking the update…

Removing the old version of the plugin…

In reply to: [Social Media Share Buttons & Social Sharing Icons] Excellent PluginWell, I had a big jump in likes show up on the site tonight, so perhaps whatever was blocking them from registering went away. In any case, no way of knowing if the particular problem I spotted is accounted for or not. If it happens again, I’ll let you know. Thanks for your time.

In reply to: [Social Media Share Buttons & Social Sharing Icons] Excellent PluginOk.
It’s a standard Facebook post. 4 likes and 12 views are indicated. The likes don’t register on Ultimate Social Media.
Interestingly, the views don’t show up on my Google Analytics stats either (although I would think you’d have to click to link to “view” it).

In reply to: [Social Media Share Buttons & Social Sharing Icons] Excellent PluginWe are not dealing with large numbers here, but …
The blog post I spotted this on is: http://osburnt.com/antigona/
Note that it indicates 3 Facebook likes, which had been there previously.
Today I posted the link in a Facebook group that I thought would be interested in the subject matter, as follows, and there have been a small number of additional likes (4), none of which have registered: https://www.facebook.com/groups/511155085691648/?fref=ts
In the past, such likes have appeared in the total.Forum: Reviews
In reply to: [Social Media Share Buttons & Social Sharing Icons] Excellent PluginNo, not exactly. Up to this point, if I have posted or cross-posted a blog post on Facebook, and someone has liked the post from Facebook itself, rather than on the blog, the like has been noted on the totals at the bottom of the blog post. That is no longer the case.

In reply to: [Social Media Share Buttons & Social Sharing Icons] Excellent PluginHi again,
I updated to your most recent version yesterday and, whether coincidentally or not, likes made on Facebook itself are no longer registering. For one of my recent posts I was notified on FB of a number of additional likes, but none of them show in the totals on the page itself.
Any idea why?
John
It works much better. I found I needed to generate new scrapes using Facebook debugger in the case of shares or pastes I had tried before and held off making because of the problem.
Two problems remain. (1) Punctuation marks are eliminated, and (2) if there are embedded links in the scraped text, the url is scraped instead of the word.
Much happier for now, as I feel I can at least share or paste links.
Can’t see a way of attaching a screenshot …
FYI, I have a similar problem. When I either share or paste a page to Facebook the snippet eliminates the spaces between the words, so it looks like gobbledygook. This was not happening a week or so ago. By process of elimination, I believe the problem is in the plugin. If I am not mistaken, I approved a routine update of it within the same time period. My site is osburnt.com.
