    For some reason, the Facebook Like (XFBML) button is not working on my site correctly. When you click it, the "Share" feature is cut off a quarter of the way, rendering it useless. I'm using the Jane theme and I've tried both Flare and Digg Digg, but they're both giving me the same problem.

    Any help?

    Thanks,
    Paul

    Try Simple Social Icons.

    I use Simply Social Icons in the header of my site, but I want to give readers the ability to share my posts.

    Have you tried Simple Share Buttons Adder or Floating Social Bar?

    I had been using FSB, but I'm starting to like SSBA better. Some people are reporting issues with the new version and WP 3.8, but I have it on a couple of Genesis sites running 3.8 and 3.9, and it seems to be working okay.

    I installed Simple Share Buttons Adder and it works. I would prefer to use one of the true floating plug-ins, like Flare or Digg Digg. If anyone can help make it work, let me know. I'll leave Digg Digg activated for now.

    Floating Social Bar does float the share links, but they haven't updated it yet to either include more social networks or allow people to use hooks to add in the ones they want to use (something they'd done on their site but haven't released to the public yet).

    The only other floating one I know of is Floating Social, a premium plugin from WPMU Dev. I thought they had a free/lite version of it in the WP.org repository, but that doesn't seem to be the case.

    If the problem you're having is with Facebook displays from Digg Digg, it sounds like you might need to play with the CSS somewhere.
