    I think JetPack had to eliminate the counter on non-official-style Twitter buttons because of a requirement by Twitter.

    Try changing the appearance of your Social Media icons to “official” and see if your Twitter Counter shows up.

    Settings/SharingSettings/ButtonStyle = Official Buttons

    Thank you John. The official buttons are solution for this issue.

    Yes, Michel is right. The Offical Buttons are not very nice. Is possible to switch to circle buttons with functional counters (twitter, facebook, G+) pls?

    I think Twitter changed something on their end forcing/requiring the use of their Official Buttons when showing the counter.

    Maybe JetPack engineers will chime in here to further clarify.

    This is actually due to a change on Twitter’s end. We will no longer be able to display counts on the Twitter button due to their upcoming API changes. I hope that helps to clear things up!

    The official buttons are solution for this issue.

    That’s a good short term solution, but eventually Twitter will remove the counts from the official buttons as well. That’s on their roadmap, so I wouldn’t recommend that you switch to the official buttons just to get the sharing counts back; if you do so, you’ll be disappointed when the sharing counts disappear from there as well.
