Sharing Buttons only appear on some Custom Post Types

And now I am more confused, because when I was working on something else I noted that some of the Artwork posts do appear to work.

Example of working Artwork: https://martha.net/artwork/fat-pony-magnet-021/

There’s nothing that I can figure out that would be keeping the buttons from displaying on the one post and not the other.

I have tried individually (and mass) disabling all of the various modification options that SiteGround offers via SG Optimizer and still have not managed to get the share buttons to appear on all Artwork posts.

Interestingly, I can’t get the same thing to happen on a normal Post or Writing post. It’s just some of the Artwork posts… There has to be something obvious I’m missing.

Hi, just to clarify, is this intermittent on items that have the same CPT? If so, could you double check to see whether sharing / like buttons are enabled for that item?

And, are you finding that setting in the item edit page? They should be able to be turned off or on per item.

I apologize for the delay, I was out sick yesterday.

The problem only appears to exist for Custom Post Type ‘Artwork’ and only happens on some items. It does appear to be a static (works/doesn’t work) and editing the posts and resaving them has no impact on if the buttons appear or not.

I was changing the show/don’t show checkbox using
Jetpack -> Settings -> Sharing -> Configue your sharing buttons -> Options (Show like and sharing buttons on)

However, your suggestion was to use the Item Edit page, which I hadn’t noticed a checkbox on. When I went exploring I found the following:

If I Edit the Artwork that is working and click on the green Jetpack icon in the upper left it shows that the Likes and Sharing checkbox (Show sharing buttons) is checked.

If I Edit the Artwork that is not working and click on the green Jetpack icon in the upper left it shows that the Likes and Sharing checkbox (Show sharing buttons) is not checked.

When I checked the checkbox and save the Artwork that was not showing buttons previously, the buttons did show.

So that fixes things!

TL;DR – SOLVED (and I will make a shorter update so it’s easy for others to find)

I can’t find a way to see which posts have this checked and which don’t without opening each post in my browser to see if the buttons appear. Where could I put in a suggestion that this is something I could opt to see in the Items Listing page?

It would also be nice if I could change this in the Quick Edit box instead of having to use the Edit Item screen.

SOLVED

This was not an issue with Custom Post Types (that was a red herring)

The issue was not with the checkboxes under Jetpack -> Settings -> Sharing -> Configue your sharing buttons -> Options (Show like and sharing buttons on)

The issue was with the checkbox under Edit Item -> Jetpack (green circular icon) -> Likes and Sharing

Checking this box (and saving) on each of the posts that were having the issue solved the problem.
