    I’ve tried your plug-in and seems straigthforward. I did all the options, but I’m not getting a button on my post, just a text-link with “Tweeten”. How do I get to display it as a button? (preferably one with a counter on the side)
    For example, look at https://transgender.eyeemotion.be/blog/

    I also tried the Twitter Button Plus and with that one, it shows the twitter as a button. But I don’t like Twitter Button Plus, you can’t do much without paying.

    Btw, I’m fairly new to WordPress. And my website isn’t entirely in WP, just the blog part of it.

    The Tweet button consists of two parts: a link and a JavaScript to enhance the link and create the button. It seems like Twitter’s widgets JavaScript did not load on your page, leaving just the link.

    Your theme should include wp_head() and wp_footer() functions to allow standard WordPress features to execute. The JavaScript included in the plugin is output towards the end of your page HTML.

    View source of your page and search for platform.twitter.com to discover if the JavaScript was output onto the page.

    Thanks, that seemed to work… was worried I would see a header and footer that I didn’t need in my design.

    But on the index-page, it kind of works (https://transgender.eyeemotion.be/blog/). One time it appears and other times it doesn’t. While on the single.php page, it works like it should.
    Could it be because on my index-page, my div-layers that have the blogpost text in them, are collapsed/hidden at the start? If I refresh and I am quick enough to click on a “button” of the message, it loads the tweet-button (sometimes collapsed). But it only loads on the one that I made visible. If I click on the other ones, there isn’t a tweet-button, but in the html (through Firebug), the tweet-button is there. It’s just not visible on the page.

    Quick question about the theme light and dark. What is the difference, because I don’t see it. The link-color and edge-color don’t seem to do anything either.

    Well… I changed my blogposts on the index-page from the_content() to the_excerpt() and that way it doesn’t become an issue anymore, since the tweet-button isn’t displayed with an excerpt.

    So issue is solved… although still curious as to why it didn’t load properly with invisible divs.
