SumoMe Share Buttons not appearing on some posts

Hi Rikard,

I think you might have misunderstood me, the built in Enfold share buttons are functioning fine and I have had no problem adding them to my ALB posts. My issue is that my SumoMe share buttons plugin, which I would prefer to use over the native Enfold ones, just has a setting to have them appear “on pages containing an article” but for some reason they are not showing up my blog posts which I designed using the ALB. Also I don’t see any sort of shortcode for SumoMe plugins just the display settings build into their interface. Are you saying that just using the ALB removes the native wordpress post designation that the plugin would be picking up on to display the buttons?

Thanks,

Mary

Hi Josue,

I’m talking more backend indexing than layout templates, since wordpress still has all my posts under the posts tab, ALBs and regular, shouldn’t SumoMe recognize that it’s a post? My posts widgets and elements all do so I really don’t see why SumoMe can’t.
I will try to reach out to them as well.

Thanks,

Mary

Hi Rikard,

I can’t seem to find anything about short codes for SumoMe, they use their own interface for setting up their plugins. I noticed I am able to set display rules for specific URLs so the work around is just setting up a rule for each blog post.
Just for curiosity’s sake, is there some way to restore the native wordpress “post” classification on ALB posts?

Thanks for all the help Rikard!

Hi Ismael,

I have finally heard back from the plugin creators. They looked at a post of mine where the share buttons wouldn’t appear and said, “The top section has role=main. We cant really do a work around for this. It is pretty bad form to set “main” for just your headline, that is not your main content”
What does this mean? Also is there any chance that this designation of “main content” on each post messes with my SEO results or how google sees my content?

Thanks,

Mary

Hi Josue,

Thanks for the tip. Though I wouldn’t really know if I should do that because you didn’t answer my questions;

“The top section has role=main. We cant really do a work around for this. It is pretty bad form to set “main” for just your headline, that is not your main content”
What does this mean? Also is there any chance that this designation of “main content” on each post messes with my SEO results or how google sees my content?

If the answers is Yes then obviously I should turn your markup off.
I’ve been struggling to recover my rankings after switching to Enfold and am trying to figure out ways to get it back and this could be something affecting it but I just don’t know.

Thanks for the help,

Mary

Hi Josue,

Thanks for the honesty! I’ll give it a shot sometime.
