Smart Buttons vanished on post for Sharing services
-
Although my sharing buttons still exist on my blog, the smart buttons seem to have vanished within the last few hours. There is no drop-down option now on the Enabled Services section for Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook.
My site address is: http://melaniebolke.com
Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution to fix it?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

I just saw this on the site as well – consumptionblog.com – I very much prefer people being able to ‘Like’ rather than ‘Share’ on the Facebook option – please advise –
Thank you.

Hi. The Sharing services have been changed today. To display smart buttons, you now need to go to Settings > Sharing > Button style > Official buttons.

Yes, now both of my facebook buttons are “share” buttons, and I had one like button and one share button before. :-( Twitter isn’t a smart button, either.
The other icons are looking peculiar, too — for emailing & printing, particularly.
The large “share” button that used to expand to show the other sharing option is not called “More,” which is fine.
Other than renaming the “share” to “more,” I do hope this is a bug that will get fixed & not a new “feature.” It looks really weird to have two different “sharing” fb buttons, rather than one for liking & one for sharing — I should probably remove one of them, but I don’t want to if it’s a glitch that will be fixed.

That should be *now* called “More.”

Oh, and I was checking out my buttons while airodyssey wrote his explanation.
Was there an announcement on this that I missed? I’ve been away from the computer for a while.

Thanks a ton, airodyssey! I just fixed my blog using your instructions, and best of all, it retained the numbers from earlier. Much appreciated!!

My like button has gone as well and now have two share buttons . Do we have to make a new button ?
-
They are definitely arrayed more nicely and don’t look so cluttered & haphazard. Thanks for pointing out the Button Style options, airodyssey!

I’m noticing that via @wordpressdotcom is now being added to tweets, how can this be updated with our own username?

My concern is that the Twitter button doesn’t show the number of times people have Tweeted your post, like it did before. Can you please advise on how to fix this?

@cweleventhauthor: You have to change your buttons to “Smart buttons”. I explained that already in my first response on top. If that doesn’t help, we need the URL of your blog, starting with http://

@airodyssey: I can’t find the button style and official button option in the sharing tab. Please help.

@serenity11: Go to Settings > Sharing. Near the bottom, you should see this;
Button style : Official Buttons
Sharing label : ___
Open links in : ___
Show buttons on : ___
WordPress.com Like Button
__ Show a like button and who has liked my post on all of my blog posts above the comments section -

I asked for this question in WordPress.com News and my comment is yet under moderation. Probably, they’re working on it.
