sharing plugins not showing up on blog after activation

Not really. Can you post a link to your site?

Here: blog site is LifeSkope.com/blog

I see share buttons in your header. But it also looks like the theme header.php file has been significantly modified? Your site is not an actual child theme.

Have you tried switching to an unmodified twentyelven theme to see if the plugins work there?

Oh really, hmmm. No i haven’t, i’ll try that right now. But question: you say it doesn’t look like its a child theme. Hmmm. Do you know what i did wrong? I designed the site lay out in html then followed a tutorial online on how to convert it to a child theme and it seemed to work ?? and has been satisfactory till now but :-\ if its having problems like this now…hmm. Any suggestions on that side? Thank you for your help. I’ll try to test that now…

Hi, ok just changed it to the original twenty eleven theme and share buttons are still not showing up for me :/

There’s a floating share bar visible now on your site… Try clearing your browser cache.

See this re: a valid child theme:

Hmmm. ok well hmmm I see the floating bar now but its blank! :/
I’m going to deactivate this one and re active the shareaholic one and see if it shows up right.
And thanks for the link, i’ll check it out :).

So hang on changing plugins…

Hmmm. Ok ShareThis is staying blank. Shareaholic is working great BUT only on the normal theme, not on my customized one. :/

But so you think it’s my header code causing the conflict then?

Hi, still having trouble with same issue as before :/.

Most of the plugins are working fine with the normal theme tho so the conflict must lie with my customized one.

WPyogi mentioned that the header code of my child theme didn’t look right.

I’ve since fixed a few things but still no share bar!?

Can someone please take a look at my code again and help me figure out what I’ve messed up :[ ? I’ve been fiddling around with it for over 6 months so i’m not sure even where to begin my look for where the problem might be.

Thanks!!!

Have you compared your header.php file to the unmodified copy of it – you can download one here:

hi, thanks, yes i did.

it’s still customized but I fixed a bunch of code to be closer to the original version.

but the problem is still persisting :/

Haha! never mind! it’s working! yay

Yay indeed – good going :)!

Oh, haha, I hadn’t realized that I had forgotten to mark this issue as resolved … for future reference and for others dealing with the same issue… it was indeed my header code as WPyogi suggested. Thanks WPyogi!

I’m still finding a few small issues, such as getting the ‘related content’ to show up properly (they are showing up fine one moment and then blank or overlapping the next), but I think I should probably start a new topic for that one.

P.s. the link above is no longer accurate.
I’ve set the blog to be accessed from the root instead so the site is now simply lifeskope.com not lifeskope.com/blog

Thanks! Good luck! And may the force be with you ;).
