    I’m experiencing the same problem in Firefox and Safari.

    I would really welcome some help with this. This is such an unexpected issue.

    Thank you.

    I should add that I’m using the Genesis framework and the eleven40 Pro theme.

    Everything is up to date, including WordPress and all plugins.

    This happened in the last few weeks. I don’t remember when I last saw the visual editor and text tabs, but when I finally needed to use the text tab, suddenly it wasn’t there.

    I’m not sure how to proceed with a project I’m working on without those tabs. My site is hosted by Site Ground.

    I can’t imagine where the conflict may be that removed them..

    Thanks so much for helping me.

    I followed your suggestions, refreshed my browser and Site Ground cache, and I’m still not seeing the tabs.

    I thought for sure this would work. Do you have any other suggestions? I’ve just created a subdomain of the live website, so I can do some testing without affecting the actual site.

    If it’s not the plugins, I can’t imagine what would be causing this.

    I reactivated the SEO plugin to see what happens and the icons are still displaying.

    Not sure why.

    Is that common when there’s an apparent plugin conflict? You deactivate, and then reactivate once things are looking the way you want them, and suddenly no more conflict?

    I found this page on how to customize the AddThis buttons:

    https://support.addthis.com/customer/portal/articles/381236-custom-buttons

    Do I put this code in the text box inside the plugin?

    Also, the code doesn’t specify which icon it’s for. How do I do this for each service I’d like on my site?

    This is the code from the page I linked to:

    <a class="addthis_button_compact">
             <img src="https://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/sm-plus.gif"
      	 width="16" height="16" border="0" alt="Share" /></a>

    So if I upload Twitter, Facebook, Google+, Pinterest and LinkedIn images, I know where to paste the new link. But nothing about this code tells me which service it’s for. So how does it know it’s a Twitter button, etc?

    Thank you.

    Well, it’s me again. :o)

    So I did some browsing in the forum for this great plugin and discovered a thread on conflicts with Yoast’s WordPress SEO plugin.

    I deactivated that plugin and sure enough the AddThis icons are now displaying on single post pages.

    There’s a workaround someone tried, but I haven’t done that yet. For now I’ll just leave the plugin deactivated.

    Ooops, I’m so sorry, but just using the plugin (not your tutorial, Brad), the icons don’t show up on the single post pages. They only show up under the most recent post.

    I’d like them to display there and on the single post pages. Thankfully they aren’t showing up on post excerpts.

    Is there a way to get them to show up on single post pages, too, just using the plugin?

    :o)

    Is there a way to just use the plugin and get the icons to display on the most recent blog post on the blog’s main page?

    My blog isn’t on the front page. I have it on my /posts page. The most recent post is followed by four excerpted posts. I really only want the icons at the end of full posts. The plugin places the icons on the single post page and no where else.

    I am really stumped. I’d appreciate some help with this. Thank you.

    I added this to my CSS and it worked:

    .page h1.entry-title {
    margin-bottom: 26px;
    }

    The spacing between the post title and date isn’t affected. The margin is only added beneath page titles.

    Whew!

    Since I’m on a deadline, I went ahead and used the Simple Hooks Plugin. To display below the post content, I added the PHP code to genesis_after_entry hook.

    I also unchecked all location boxes.

    So now these icons display at the bottom of the most recent blog post, the four excerpted posts below that, and the single post page.

    The only problem is, I don’t want them on the excerpts. It’s visually too much and not necessary. I need to learn how to add a conditional statement to the PHP, but how do I target the excerpts only?

    I may need to start another thread for this.

    I’d prefer not to use the simple hooks plugin. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this? Thank you.

    I’m having the same problem. The plugin displays on single post pages only, even though I checked excerpts, posts and archives/categories.

    I’m using a Genesis theme. The blog doesn’t appear on the front page. It’s on the posts page instead. The first post is the most recent and is full length. This is followed by four excerpted posts.

    I’d like the most recent post to display with the social share icons. I don’t understand why this isn’t happening, despite the boxes I checked.

    Otherwise I love this plugin!

    I figured out why the text was removed.

    I deactivated the plugin so someone could help me with something. Deactivating remove any text. My other plugin didn’t do that. Sometimes you need to go in and out of maintenance mode during a project.

    Is there a way to keep the text so it doesn’t reset the default settings like that?

    As for the toolbar, I can’t figure that one out. I’m kind of in a rush and need to go back to my other plugin and remove this one. But I would love to use this one again, if you can help understand how to get it to keep my text, and also address the toolbar problem.

    Thank you.

    Just in case someone has the same problem and finds this thread, I’m going to follow up as I figure things out.

    I copied the CSS for the pagination ellipses, which is at the very bottom of my stylesheet, and worked my way, pasting into each section until it worked. That way I could isolate the section of code that could be blocking the CSS.

    At first I couldn’t find the problem, but as I looked carefully, I found an open bracket followed by lots of CSS and no closing bracket, starting with this:

    @media only screen and (max-width: 800px) {

    It’s the first I ever realized that big sections of CSS can be enclosed in brackets. I don’t really understand why, but I went ahead and added the closing bracket and now my CSS is working.

    I need to tweak the code for creating round images, but that’s mostly working, too.

    So I’ve solved the problem. I think what happened is that I saw what I thought was a stray bracket and deleted it, not realizing it was a closing bracket for a section of CSS.

    Whew, glad it’s over and done.

    And I can now change the color of the ellipses. So I definitely have a comment tag in there that is blocking out all of my CSS to the end of the stylesheet. I just don’t know where it starts.
