Buttons Not Loading
-
Ever since I updated WordPress and/or AddThis, my buttons have disappeared. (I don’t know exactly what did it as I didn’t notice it right away)
Looking at the generated code at the footer of a blog post, it appears the initial code for the buttons is being added, but none of the actual buttons are being injected:
<a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a><a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a><a class="addthis_button_email"></a><a class="addthis_button_pinterest_share"></a><a class="addthis_button_compact"></a><a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>
At the top of the html, there’s also:
<!--[if lt IE 7]><html lang="en-US" xmlns:fb="https://ogp.me/ns/fb#" xmlns:addthis="https://www.addthis.com/help/api-spec" prefix="og: https://ogp.me/ns# fb: https://ogp.me/ns/fb#" class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8 lt-ie7"> <![endif]--> <!--[if (IE 7)&!(IEMobile)]><html<br /> lang="en-US" xmlns:fb="https://ogp.me/ns/fb#" xmlns:addthis="https://www.addthis.com/help/api-spec" prefix="og: https://ogp.me/ns# fb: https://ogp.me/ns/fb#" class="no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8"><![endif]--> <!--[if (IE 8)&!(IEMobile)]><html<br /> lang="en-US" xmlns:fb="https://ogp.me/ns/fb#" xmlns:addthis="https://www.addthis.com/help/api-spec" prefix="og: https://ogp.me/ns# fb: https://ogp.me/ns/fb#" class="no-js lt-ie9"><![endif]--> <!--[if gt IE 8]><!--><html<br /> lang="en-US" xmlns:fb="https://ogp.me/ns/fb#" xmlns:addthis="https://www.addthis.com/help/api-spec" prefix="og: https://ogp.me/ns# fb: https://ogp.me/ns/fb#" class="no-js"><!--<![endif]-->
With the class .no-js, I’m going to assume that means the javascript isn’t being loaded, which would probably explain why the buttons aren’t being injected in the code. So not sure if that’s some new change I’m missing or if the plugin is just broken on 4.0.
I saw someone else say that W3 Total Cache might be causing issues for them. I also have that activated, but tried deactivating it and it didn’t seem to make a difference for me.
If it helps for debugging, here’s all the plugins I have activated:
- AddThis Social Bookmarking Widget
- Disqus
- Google Content Experiments
- Jetpack
- Post Reading Time
- Redirection
- The Subtitle
- User Photo
- W3 Total Cache
- WordPress Popular Posts
- WordPress SEO
- WP Migrate DB Pro
- WP No Category Base
- WP Smush.it
