Hey there, could you point us to a page where you’re seeing this behavior? The share buttons I’m seeing appear to be functioning normally.
I left it switched off because this is a business site and I can’t leave it in a broken state 🙂
I’ve switched it on for the next few hours, if someone can have a look. Thanks!
Hi there, @davidgerard,
Thanks for the follow up! I checked the site, and it seems like the issue happens only on the homepage, while single blog posts display the sharing button just fine: could you confirm that?
If that’s so also at your end, it could be a theme conflict: can you try to temporarily switch your theme to Twenty Twenty-Three and see if the problem persists?
If you would rather not affect the production site, you can do this by installing a plugin that only switches the theme for the current user, linked below:

Let me know what you find out, and we’ll take it from there if necessary. Thanks!
I installed Theme Switcha, switched to Twenty Twenty-Three, and got:
There has been a critical error on this website.
Same with Twenty Twenty-Four and Twenty Twenty-Five.
So I switched the whole site to 2023, and the share icons don’t show up at all on the front page! https://imgur.com/a/3jkUovF
The share icons are not visible in a single blog post in the 2023 theme. https://imgur.com/a/PlvF9Wa
I’ve switched the site back to Blocksy for now.
a.sd-button > br {
display: none;
}
A designer friend gave me this CSS and it seems to have fixed the eggs!
He says: “for some reason there are 3 [br] tags inside the buttons on the homepage but not on the article pages. So I just hid any that appears inside a share button.”
so it’s a kludge, but it’s working for now 🙂
Hi there, Thanks for sharing these additaonl details.
I am glad to hear you managed to find a workaround. If you would like us to investigate the issue and attempt to find a solution, we’ll need more details on how you are adding these links. I reviewed your homepage, https://pivot-to-ai.com/, and apparently, the social icons are not the Jetpack icons. Are you using another block or plugin to add them?
We’ll wait for your answer.
Cheers,
