[Plugin: ShareThis: Share Buttons and Sharing Analytics] How to Get Counts to Transfer from Old Soci

  • Hi Thelovevitamin,

    It is normal for counts not to be transfered when changing the social plugin. Each social plugin tracks social events separately. The only way you could keep some of the counts is to opt for using native counts (these are sharing counts reported by the social service, e.g. ShareThis would display the number facebook reports for your page).
    On the downside :
    – only a select number of social services provide this capability.
    – you would no longer have ShareThis counts which are real-time. This means that the sharing counts increment as sharing happens on your site.
    – you would no longer be able to track the social activity on your site over time in ShareThis Analytics.

    Contact us at [email protected] if you want to get more info on how you can implement native counts with ShareThis.

    Thank you!
