Hi, thanks very much for the reply. Sorry wasn’t able to reply sooner but was trying to investigate the issue further. I think you are right, it likely has nothing to do with your plugin. I even took your suggestion and activated the social meta (which shouldn’t have had anything to do with anything because I didn’t ave it active before and the JetPack publicize was still working).
And to clarify when I said it stopped working I meant it stopped sharing my published post to facebook and twitter (had to resort to manually sharing them) even with the social meta activated it still refused to work and there were no errors.
So finally after days of trying and testing etc I noticed that the last Jetpack update was likely the issue because it is slightly ahead of my version of WP in terms of compatibility and at present I cannot update WP to a newer version b/c my theme won’t allow it so basically I’m screwed till I find another suitable theme as my theme developer/creator is a deadbeat and no longer someone I deal with.
For now I am thinking of going back to the version of Jetpack just before the last update (but I’m not sure this is possible or if it will cause more problems)
And of course my other solution is finding a standalone social sharing plugin and disable the JetaPack publicize feature.
Anyway I just wanted to explain the details as to why I had to ask here because there were several plugin updates around the same time so I was uncertain if this plugin might have been one of them that created the issue but it was not the offender.
Thanks again for replying and for your suggestions in trying to help, I appreciate it.
