Update: 4/28/18
My social media icons came
back today! Yay!
***
My Social Media Share Icons
have disappeared!
I can comment but can’t like
or share.
I have access to these icons in
the reader but the posts I want
to read don’t show up.
Grrrrr.
It’s frustrating.
I will ‘like’ and ‘re-blog’ when WordPress
solves the problem.
Update: 1:42PM. I just noticed the ‘Follow’
option is also gone.
In the meantime I’m using the reader which
let’s me access the ‘share’ icons.
What is going on?

The danged WP gremlins are seriously hard at work on many fronts. I’ve noticed ‘like’ buttons missing on quite a few blogs. And spam, don’t get me started. I get more spam per day now for the last 2 weeks than I get in a whole year! 😦

It seems the Gremlins are on a blog tour. 🙂

Is it all fixed now, Rob? I recently lost the ‘reblog’ button on my blog after removing the ‘like’ button. When I reported this to WordPress, they said I couldn’t have the ‘reblog’ button without having the ‘like’ button. Apparently, the two buttons are linked (I can’t understand why they’d want to link those two buttons).

The buttons were back yesterday and gone today. I’m going to see if I changed a setting on my end. Not being able to share is a real blogging impediment.

I’ve heard of others having the same problems. Gone one day, then back again later with no explanation. Hopefully, you’re buttons will re-materialize soon!

Mine is still fine, thank goodness. It is such a frustration when WP goes wrong, Rob.

WordPress gremlins strike again. We had a disappearing re-blog button problem recently. It did eventually get fixed but it took a while. I think the Happiness Engineers were quite surprised by how many people complained about it.

WordPress got wacky a couple of years ago when it randomly started fixing things that worked with things that don’t work. It’s an interesting business model. 🙂

OH! Have you contacted the WP “Happiness Engineers”?

I’m unreasonably expecting the happiness engineers to intuitively sense my snit and fix it. I’ll contact them as soon as I determine that they haven’t. 🙂

You could be correct. However, if things are not fixed in 2 weeks, I would definitely contact them.

I will contact them, I have noticed other bloggers asking about missing icons and reblog buttons so my guess is something’s broke.

I have every confidence this will get fixed. It just annoying when you’re behind and trying to catch up enough to get behind again. I hope that makes sense. 🙂

I’ve heard others are having trouble as well. Lucky me…I’m not on social media…other than WP. 😘

Do you have a reblog button and a follow tab. Those are gone too.

Apparently, there’s been a glitch and the powers that be are “working on it.”

It’ll get fixed. I’ve learned to ask other bloggers if they are having the same problem; it saves me the time I would spend tearing my computer apart to figure out what’s wrong on my end.

I wish they could gremlin-proof WordPress. It’s been a couple of years of constant snarling and biting from them. Maybe they can build a wall around it. Mexico will pay for it…
Seriously, I know it’s frustrating, Rob. Great big hug.

Well…I did find a bit of a workaround by using the reader’s ‘manage followers’ option, which sounds a bit rude.
