Hi I have ticked all the on boxes to show likes but none are appearing on my blog. I did get email likes for the first post but they don’t show on the blog.
In Settings → Sharing, have you been sure to choose the “On for all posts”, as well as checked “Posts” next to “Show buttons on”? There are a lot of options to check to get it to work.
I am moving this ticket to General Questions as the issue seems more related to WordPress.com’s sharing features. I have confirmed that the buttons are working in the theme. A WordPress.com staff member will have better insight into the sharing buttons and will therefore be better able to assist you.
